How We Work: A Step-by-Step Guide to Hiring Furniture for Your Event
Planning an event can be stressful, but hiring furniture shouldn’t be. At Furniture on the Move, we’ve made our process as simple and efficient as possible. Whether you need sofas, tables, chairs, or an entire event setup, our streamlined hire system ensures you get exactly what you need with minimal hassle.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how our furniture hire process works, why we do things this way, and answer some of the most common customer questions.
Just like an e-commerce store, you can explore our entire range of event furniture online. From luxury sofas and dining sets to stylish poseur tables, we offer furniture to suit every event style and size.

Once you’ve found the perfect pieces, simply add them to your hire list—just like adding items to a shopping cart.
Unlike traditional e-commerce, you won’t be asked for payment at checkout. Instead, you’ll submit your list along with your event details so we can provide a tailored quote (See step 3).
Why don’t we show prices upfront? Every event is unique.
Pricing depends on:
The size of your order.
Delivery and collection location.
The size of van(s) required.
The number of crew members needed for setup and breakdown.
This ensures you get the best possible price for your specific event needs.
Next, you’ll be asked to provide essential details such as:
✔️ Venue address
✔️ Delivery and collection times
✔️ Any special instructions (e.g., restricted access, stairs, late-night collection)
This helps us calculate the most efficient logistics for your furniture hire, ensuring seamless delivery and pickup.
Tip: The more details you provide, the faster we can confirm your booking!
Once we receive your request, our team gets to work. We’ll assess your order, calculate logistics, and provide a clear and competitive quote—usually within a few hours (depending on complexity), but no later than 48 hours.
Once you confirm the quote, we’ll then pop over our T’s & C’s to sign along with an invoice which needs to be paid before delivery of the furniture.
