Maddison Burford • June 4, 2021

The road to the end of lockdown is coming, here are some party planning tips you may need to know.

You must have heard, the government’s roadmap to a lockdown-free UK and vaccine programme is in full swing. So, if you are considering planning a post lockdown party or just any party, we think it finally might be safe to do so.


Throughout spring small get togethers will be allowed to happen if all goes to plan, then by the 21st June all limits on numbers should finally be lifted. We are staying optimistic and therefore have put together a list of our top tips when starting to plan your parties...


Pick the Best Party Venue 

Of course one of the most important aspects of throwing a party is the location. Will this be your garden, field, pub garden etc... whatever the location be sure to check out our variety of marquees and accessories to make your party special and one to remember. 


Styling

We work with you to achieve the greatest event. Every marquee we provide will look totally different depending on the extras that go with it! 


If you are looking to hire a marquee, you’ll want to make sure that you decorate it properly to ensure it fits the occasion. Whether you want to decorate yours for a wedding, birthday or anniversary party, Zest Marquees can provide you with all the necessary furniture, flooring, lighting, heating options required. 


It doesn’t matter the size of your event we are able to provide you with stylish and affordable extras that will be perfect for your event.

Entertainment 

Entertainment is key to all our parties and marquees provide the perfect space for creating the ultimate event with top on-trend acts, bands and performers. Who will you have preform? 


Food and drinks

No party is set without food and drinks. Will you be having a sit down meal? and need tables and seating or a buffet where a long table will be needed? Do you need a bar area? all of these are valid questions, you will need to ask yourself.


Weather is not an issue

Let’s face it in good old England we never quite know what the weather will be up to. We do know that whatever the weather our Marquees will have you set without any  issues. All our Marquees are waterproof and what’s better is we have heating options for you to consider if the temperatures plummet.

Team-building activities are essential for fostering collaboration, boosting morale, and strengthening workplace relationships. But instead of the usual boardroom setting, why not take your corporate event outdoors? Hiring a marquee offers a versatile, weatherproof space where your team can engage in fun and meaningful activities without the constraints of an indoor venue.

Planning an event involves a lot of decisions, but one of the most critical is selecting the proper size marquee. Whether hosting a wedding, corporate gathering, birthday party, or festival, the marquee size can make or break your event. Too small, and your guests feel cramped. It is too large and can feel empty or a waste of budget.
