Reclaimed timber party hire
Planning a backyard get-together, or the wedding of your dreams? Forget about those plastic chairs and trestles!
Orange’s B&T Rustic Party Hire offers a range of hand-crafted recycled timber benches, tables, stools and low-lying picnic trestles that will really make your day something special.
B&T Rustic Party Hire is a new local hire business created by Darren and Tina Hanchard. Originally from Dubbo, Darren and Tina have made a new home for themselves here in Orange and saw the potential for a side business that offers people something a little different for their party or event.
“I was at my daughter-in-law's hens party and it was a big picnic setting, you know with low tables and pillows. It was just a really different atmosphere and that’s what gave us the idea,” Tina explained.
And doing a little research, Darren said they realised there wasn’t anyone else locally doing what they had in mind.
“Everyone's got the fold-up plastic chairs or aluminium chairs and trestles, but we thought timber would be great out here and that it would really stand out nicely,” Darren said.
Looking around they found a Cessnock-based furniture maker who had exactly what they were looking for: beautifully crafted seating benches, stools and trestle tables all made from reclaimed and recycled timber.
“He gets his materials from old buildings; wall cladding and a lot of cypress flooring. He pulls all the staples and nails out of it and sands it all up and makes these terrific benches and trestle tables out of them,” Darren said.
B&T Rustic Party Hire offers a number of different packages to suit your event.
There’s the “Bench Seat Package” with 12 recycled timber bench seats (for up to 48 people) that’ll bring rustic charm to your outdoor wedding or christening.
For your backyard family get-together, there’s the “Barrel Package” that includes two wine barrels with eight stools, two half-barrels for ice and drinks, and two fire pits.
Then in the “Picnic Packages” your options include a mix of outdoor rugs with cushions, along with high and low trestle tables — perfect for a hens party or summer outing with friends.
“We make preparing for your event simple. We bring it to you, we set it up, and we collect it all the next day,” Darren said.
“And with something like bench seating for weddings, I’ll even relocate them. You may want seating out at a winery, say, and then have a do somewhere, I’ll collect the chairs again and then relocate them to your other venue, if you require. It’s just part of the service we'd like to offer.
“We just want to give people something a bit different and hopefully it makes their backyard event or their special day something to remember!”
