Positive Reviews from Happy Customers
Abbotts were a massive help when I got a last minute event booking, with very specific glassware requirements. The online hire system was easy to use, with a member of staff contacting very quickly to confirm details. I was able to collect the same day. Friendly and helpful staff and a great service
We have been working with Abbotts Event Hire for a number of years through Dood and Frink and they have been consistently excellent. They support us with everything we need to deliver events properly, from kitchen equipment to crockery, cutlery and glassware, and the quality is always spot on.Their product range is fantastic and reliable, which makes planning and executing events and weddings so much smoother.On top of that, the level of customer service is genuinely top-tier. Rich and the whole team are always helpful so thank you Abbots!Ryan And The Dood And Frink Team xx
I've used Abbotts event hire not only for my own wedding but also for other couples that I organise their wedding for. Their service is always exceptional and their rentals are of a really good quality. For our wedding we used them for all our crockery, cutlery and glassware at North Cadbury Court. They delivered the items efficiently and as expected which made it super easy for us. We had so many moving parts to our set up and breakdown that their timeliness was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend their service to any couples looking for reliable rentals and supplies.
Absolutely brilliant team to work with. We had all our crockery and glassware hired through Abbotts. They were so responsive and lovely to deal with and helped us pull together a last minute glass order. Could not recommend Abbotts any more highly
We hired cutlery, napkins, chairs, a fridge trailer and more from Abbotts Event Hire, and they were absolutely amazing! Suzanne in particular was fantastic – she was always quick to respond, incredibly helpful and flexible, and made the whole process so easy. Even with short notice requests, nothing was too much trouble. When we later found items we had forgotten about while clearing up, the team kindly went out of their way to collect them without any fuss. From start to finish, the customer service was excellent and they were a real pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
I hired tables for a Charity Christmas Fayre. Delivered when they said they would. Good quality tables. Communication with the company was excellent. Would definitely use again and most certainly would recommend them to others. 10/10
We hired Abbotts for our wedding in Cornwall and they provided a fantastic service for everything from linens, glasses, tea & coffee kits and more.Everything arrived as it should and they were very easy to work with!
We used Abbots for our wedding and cannot fault them!!! Dropped off equipment the day before and picked up the next day. Didn’t have to wash a plate. Excellent service and would always recommend 🤩
We used Abbotts for our wedding and cannot fault the service. Excellent customer service and excellent quality products used.
We used Abbotts hire services for our recent wedding, held in a marquee at home. The service was great, they were super easy to work with and it helped make our day super special.
We used Abbotts for our wedding recently in Cornwall at Bocconoc. We hire all of our tables, chairs, catering equipment, refrigerated trailer, napkins, crockery, glassware and cutlery and much much more than i can't really remember.They went above and beyond to help out and even opened their showroom on a Sunday for us to be able to go and choose our table settings. It was such a useful thing to do and we were delighted when it all came together.
We used Abbotts for our micro wedding in Cornwall. Great service, delivered when they told us they would, and dirty return was so helpful. Great selection of items saved us a worry.Highly recommend
We Won’t Be Beaten on Price:
We believe great events shouldn’t come with inflated prices. That’s why we’ve introduced our Price Beat Guarantee. If you find like-for-like items in stock elsewhere at a lower price, we won’t just match it, we’ll beat it!
We regularly check competitor pricing to keep our rates competitive, but if something slips through, let us know and we’ll put it right. It’s our way of making sure you always get the best value for your events without compromising on quality.
Of course, Ts and Cs apply, just ask our team for more info 🙂
