Dress It Yourself

Dress It Yourself operates from a warehouse in Hertford, Hertfordshire (SG13 7NT), functioning as a comprehensive one-stop shop for event decoration hire. Rather than a physical venue, it is a hire service that brings atmosphere and character to any space a client already has — from a village hall to a large corporate awards ceremony ballroom. The company's philosophy centres on removing stress from event planning by consolidating the full decoration supply chain into a single provider with a straightforward online ordering process. The product range is extraordinarily broad. Hire categories include accessories and props, audio-visual and disco equipment, furniture (tables, chairs, sofas), event lighting, table decorations, table linen and tablecloths, charger plates, centrepieces, backdrops, and full venue decoration packages. Each category contains thousands of individual items, making it possible to dress an entire event from a single source. The range is further organised by over 50 distinct event themes — spanning everything from 1920s Gatsby and Arabian Nights to Harry Potter, Las Vegas, Tropical Luau, and Classic White Wedding — enabling planners to achieve a coherent, immersive aesthetic without sourcing from multiple suppliers. For corporate clients specifically, the theme library includes directly relevant options such as Hollywood and Oscars (suited to award ceremonies and prize-giving evenings), James Bond and Casino Royale (gala dinners and client entertainment), Around the World and Olympics (international team events and sports-themed celebrations), Racing and Grand Prix (team days and incentive evenings), and Superheroes or Circus themes (team-building or family fun days). The breadth of the audio-visual and disco hire category also makes the company relevant for conference dinners, product launches, and branded corporate parties requiring sound and lighting production. All hire items are available on a four-day hire basis. Customers collect from the Hertford warehouse on a Monday or Thursday and return items the following Thursday or Monday respectively. Three service levels are offered to suit different budgets and logistical requirements: self-collect and return; delivery and collection by the Dress It Yourself team; and full delivery, professional set-up, and removal. Pricing for the delivery and set-up options is provided on request via phone or email. The company uses only man-with-van courier services — postal couriers are not accepted. For orders where the hire date falls within four weeks of placing the order, clients are advised to email in advance to confirm stock availability before completing their online booking.
