Glassware hire in Willoughby

We are the next suburb over. Glassware hire for Willoughby parties, with free pickup if you would rather grab the crates yourself.

Hiring glasses in Willoughby

Willoughby is about as local as it gets for us. We are in Northbridge, a few minutes down Sailors Bay Road, which means pickup is genuinely easy here. Plenty of people just swing past on the way home, load a couple of crates into the boot and bring them back dirty on the Monday.

The jobs we do most around Willoughby are the ordinary good ones. Fortieths and fiftieths in back gardens, christenings, book club that got out of hand, the street party on a closed off cul de sac. Real glass costs about the same as buying decent disposables and it makes the whole thing feel like an occasion rather than a gathering.

Local halls and venues

If you are hiring a room rather than using your own place, these are the ones people around Willoughby use most. Council halls almost never come with glassware, so it is worth checking before you assume.

Willoughby Park Centre

A large multi purpose hall plus two smaller community rooms, hired through the council for meetings, classes and social functions. Council page

Willoughby and Northbridge Uniting Church

Hall hire for community groups and private functions, and one of the few local halls with a proper kitchen. Council page

What you can hire

Everything comes in crates, and everything comes back dirty. The range is the same wherever we deliver:

  • Wine glasses, red and white, mostly Luigi Bormioli lead free crystal
  • Vintage coupes and champagne flutes for toasts and anything with photographs
  • Highballs and pilsners for spirits, beer and water
  • Trumpet and grappa glasses for the less obvious jobs
  • A drink dispenser, ice bucket and cheese board as add-ons

See the full range and prices, or send us your numbers and we will work out what you need.

How it works

  • Tell us the date and the headcount. We come back with a quote, usually same day.
  • We deliver, or you collect. Pickup from Northbridge is free. Delivery is $30 each way because you are inside 10 km of us. Further out it is $40.
  • Three days. Friday to Monday covers a Saturday party without anybody rushing.
  • Send them back dirty. Do not wash them. That is the whole service.

Questions

Can I pick the glasses up myself from Northbridge?

Yes, and from Willoughby it is a few minutes each way. Pickup is free. Bring a boot rather than a back seat, the crates are solid.

What does delivery to Willoughby cost?

$30 each way. Willoughby is well inside ten kilometres of us, which is where the cheaper rate applies. Pickup from Northbridge is free.

Do I need to wash them first?

No. Please do not. Send them back dirty, we have the machine for it. That is the whole point of hiring rather than borrowing from friends.
