Grace Jevons Civil Celebrant - May 2022

“ South West Event Hire have been the source to the majority of our hire equipment over the last 10 years.  We have formed a great working relationship with the team and they have always been friendly, helpful, accommodating and reliable. They have a vast range of hire equipment and as a catering company there isn’t much that they can’t provide in order for our events to run smoothly and efficiently.  Thank you SWEH and we look forward to continuing business over the years ahead”.

Thank you for making everything so easy.
Kate C - June 2021

I was really impressed by the friendly language on your website. " Please ask if you have any queries, no matter how small - we would be glad to assist." It was this that led me to request a quote for a small event at my mother's house this month. Your quick responses and fair pricing are enormously appreciated.

Jason C - August 2022

I just wanted to drop a line to thank you so much for your service in provision, drop off and collection of all the things we needed to hire from you to make the occasion work. I know it was a tight turnaround for you to deliver but it was absolutely brilliant that you dropped off the stuff ar 10am, just as we arrived to set up. It led to a seamless and very unstressful day as we were able to get everything sorted just as we wished. Your ability to do this was hugely appreciated by us all. Thank you also for your forbearance when we had to change the date 4 times and well done for surviving the whole debacle when I appreciate your business basically disappeared for a year or so! We will definitely recommend your service and commitment if asked!

You really took the sting out of hosting 20 for supper for my husband's 40th and made it simple and affordable, thank you so much.

Kiriana L - August 2022

Thank you for checking in. The service you provided was absolutely faultless, and I have already recommended you to a few other people. I hope they’ve contacted you?
From pick up to collection, and any request I had was met with complete and utter helpfulness. The delivery driver was a very nice helpful man and delivery and pick up was very prompt!
