Event planners often have a specific look and feel in mind for an event or wedding, and bringing that vision to life sometimes means sourcing very particular furniture and décor pieces. Finding the right pieces, in the right quantities, at the right time is where dry-hire becomes especially valuable.

It gives planners the flexibility to source furniture and décor directly, without needing to appoint a stylist or coordinate multiple service providers to achieve the look they have in mind.

For a|CREATE, dry-hire is about keeping that process straightforward. Our collection is available to planners and industry professionals who want to select the pieces that suit their vision while managing the wider event themselves.

We launched a new feature on our website that allows you to book your furniture and décor pieces with a|CREATE entirely online – from checking availability and quantities to selecting and securing your pieces.

Why Dry-Hire Works for Event Planners

What you need to source can vary from a full furniture setup to a few statement pieces. Dry-hire means exactly that – you hire the furniture and décor pieces you need, without the styling service. a|CREATE takes care of the logistics and delivery, while you take care of bringing the look together.

You still have full control over the creative, from how pieces are paired to where they’re used. Sometimes that means furnishing several areas of a venue. Other times, you may only need a bar, lounge setup or a few pieces to finish the space.

That’s the value of dry-hire for planners. You’re not tied to the same furniture from one event to the next.

Take the Back-and-Forth Out of Sourcing

When you’re sourcing furniture, you usually want answers to a few things quite quickly. Is it available on my date? How many are in stock? What else could work with it?

Waiting for those answers can slow things down, especially when you’re working through a longer furniture list. That’s where a|CREATE’s online booking system comes in. It gives planners a direct way to browse and book from our dry-hire collection.

Rather than enquiring about every piece individually, you can browse online with your event details in mind. The information you need is there while you’re making your selections.
