Mobile bar hire across Henley-on-Thames for Royal Regatta week, riverside weddings, and marquee parties. Licensed bartenders and a fully stocked portable bar, delivered from our Reading base just 20 minutes away.
Weddings
Henley-on-Thames is one of the most photogenic wedding settings in the Thames Valley. Phyllis Court Club, a grand riverside manor in 18 acres on the bank of the Thames, hosts weddings in its Riverside Pavilion for up to 100 guests with panoramic views over the regatta course. Stonor Park, a historic manor in the Chilterns just north of the town, offers grounds for marquee receptions. Our mobile bar covers the drinks reception through to the evening bar from a single freestanding unit.
Henley sits in Oxfordshire, just over the Berkshire boundary, so the licensing authority is South Oxfordshire District Council. Licensed venues like Phyllis Court hold their own premises licence and need no extra paperwork. For marquees on private riverside lawns or unlicensed gardens, a Temporary Events Notice must be filed with South Oxfordshire District Council at least 10 working days ahead - we submit it for you.
Wedding bar packages include bespoke cocktail menus, printed bar cards in your colour palette, and a dedicated event lead. All-inclusive pricing covers spirits, mixers, soft drinks, ice, and glassware. Full details are on the wedding bar hire page.
Regatta Season
Henley Royal Regatta in late June and early July is the defining event of the town's calendar and drives the sharpest demand peak we see anywhere in the Thames Valley. Riverside gardens along the Henley and Remenham banks, private properties in the town, and lawns overlooking the course all host pre- and post-Regatta parties through the week. Pimm's receptions, champagne service, and classic summer cocktails are the standard order.
Because Regatta week concentrates so many events into a few days, crews book out fastest here - we recommend confirming Regatta-week dates by April. Our bar units suit riverside and marquee settings: weather-sealed, stable on uneven lawns, and fitted with weatherproof covers for open-air service along the bank.
Local & Close By
The Sesh Bars is based in Reading, around 20-25 minutes from Henley up the A4155 along the river. We are already nearby rather than travelling out from London with a heavy mileage surcharge. That means faster setup, a modest transparent travel supplement (typically £15-£25 return), and a crew that knows the Henley reach and its riverside access points.
We cover Henley, Remenham, Wargrave, Shiplake, and the surrounding Chilterns villages, alongside the rest of Berkshire. Nearby towns we also serve include Maidenhead and Wokingham.
