Chic Event Hire Client Testimonials
Our dedicated and highly experienced team deliver high quality event equipment on time, to budget and go above and beyond to exceed expectations. But don’t take our word for it — here’s what Chic Event Hire clients have to say.
“As an outsider caterer, I have found Chic to be a flexible company able to accommodate everything I need and cope with the changes I make in the run-up to an event. I have found they commit their all to ensure each and every event is a success. Having used them for over thirty weddings and other functions this year, I would not dream of changing what is now one of my most trusted partners and regularly pass on their details to colleagues.”
