We get asked all the time: what should I rent for a summer gathering?

At WhyBuy HQ, we’ve seen every kind of celebration — from backyard BBQs to surprise engagement parties. And while each event is unique, a few essentials can make all the difference.

Here’s our go-to hosting kit:

• Weber Portable BBQ – reliable, fast-heating, and compact.

• Cooler Box on Wheels – keep the Prosecco cold and portable.

• Outdoor Lighting – festoon strings or LED lanterns set the mood.

• Bluetooth Speaker / Karaoke Machine – instant atmosphere, no tech headache.

• Folding Tables and Chairs – more guests, no cluttered shed.

• Glassware & Dinnerware Sets – plates, cutlery, tumblers and wine glasses - with no washing up needed

• Fire Pit or Patio Heater – for post-sunset warmth and ambience.

• Pop-Up Gazebo – shade during the day, shelter at night.

Want to go a step further? Why not rent a projector and projector screen for a garden movie night, or a paint sprayer if you're refreshing furniture before guests arrive?

Think in moments: Where will people sit? What happens after sunset? Can guests grab drinks easily? Renting means getting the details right — without the commitment of buying.

Just give us a call on 0333 340 3750 or email solutions@whybuy.app to discuss the gathering you’re planning—we’re always happy to suggest products that will make for a great event.
