Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, or family celebration, a marquee offers a versatile and stylish solution. From creating a unique atmosphere to accommodating large guest lists, a marquee can transform any event into a memorable occasion. Here’s everything you need to know about hiring a marquee for your next big event.
Why hire a marquee?
One of the main advantages of hiring a marquee is the flexibility it offers. You can customise the space to fit your specific needs, whether it’s the layout, size, or décor. Unlike traditional venues, we can set your marquee up in a wide range of locations, giving you the freedom to choose your perfect setting, be it a picturesque garden, a scenic field, or your ven own garden! Ideally, the ground should be level and accessible for setup – if not, give us a call for a free site check.
Weather protection
Marquees provide excellent protection against the great British weather. With options for heating, air conditioning and solid flooring, your guests can stay comfortable regardless of what is happening outside. Plus, our marquees can be fitted with large clear panels and windows, so you can still enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without worrying about the elements.
Perfect atmosphere
One of our marquees allows you to create a unique atmosphere tailored to your event. Whether you’re going for a rustic, elegant, or contemporary look, we can help you transform the blank canvas of your marquee to match your vision perfectly. We can provide everything lighting to furniture, linings to dancefloors – and even the loos making the possibilities endless and planning easier.
Flexible size
When you have determined the number of guests you’re expecting we can help you determine the size of marquee to comfortably accomodate everyone. Consider addiitonal space for dining, dancing and other accivities – but don’t worry if the numbers keep changing, we can easily increase or reduce the size of your marquee right up to the week before your event.
