Professional Glassware Hire for Every London Event
Planning a wedding reception in Kensington, a corporate drinks event in the City, or a birthday celebration in Hackney? Murphy's Event Hire provides professional glassware hire across London, supplying premium glasses that elevate any occasion without the cost of buying outright. Whether you need glass hire for 20 guests or 500, we deliver across all London boroughs — from Shoreditch and Canary Wharf to Chelsea, Camden and Greenwich.
Our glassware collection has been hand-selected for durability and elegance. Every piece is commercial-grade, designed to withstand the demands of busy event service while still looking immaculate on the table. Clients regularly hire wine glasses for weddings, champagne flutes for corporate receptions and tumblers for garden parties — whatever the occasion, we have the right glass hire in London for you.
Our Glass Hire Range
We supply a carefully curated range of glassware suited to every style of event and drinks service. Our full glass hire collection includes:
Champagne Flutes (170ml) — Tall, slender flutes that keep the bubbles flowing. Perfect for welcome drinks, toasts and sparkling wine receptions. Champagne flute hire in London is one of our most popular services, especially during wedding season from May to September.
White Wine Glasses (250ml) — A versatile tulip-shaped glass suited to most white wines and lighter rosés. The slightly smaller bowl helps maintain a chilled serving temperature, making them ideal for summer events. Wine glass hire is essential for any seated dinner or drinks reception.
Red Wine Glasses (350ml) — A generous bowl that allows proper aeration and releases the full aroma of bolder reds. These glasses are a staple for formal dinner service and winter receptions alike. Our red wine glass hire pairs perfectly with wedding breakfasts and corporate gala dinners.
Whiskey Glasses (285ml) — Classic tumblers with a wide base and thick rim, ideal for whisky, bourbon and short cocktails like old fashioneds and negronis. A must-have for any event with a spirits bar or cocktail station.
Soft Drink Tumblers (350ml) — Straight-sided tumblers for water, soft drinks and mixers. Stable, stackable and perfectly suited to both casual and formal settings.
Water Jugs (1 litre) — Practical glass jugs with an easy-pour spout. Ideal for table water service — simply add ice and lemon for an elegant touch.
