Add items directly to your wishlist from ‘Items To Hire’ page and build up your ‘cart’. TOP TIP: your chosen venue may be featured within the ‘Venue Inspiration’ galleries, this will help you visualise your chosen style. 

We suggest a mood board with notes of your chosen pieces, colours and accessories, then you’re ready select pieces to make your wishlist - press send and we will do the rest.
