The Benefits of Marquees: A Guide to Their Practical Uses and Benefits

Marquees are the perfect solution for hosting events in any season, and they offer unparalleled flexibility for creating a bespoke event space. Marquees provide a sophisticated and impressive setting for weddings, birthdays, or corporate functions that will leave a lasting impression on guests.

No matter the event, marquees can be fitted with strategically placed heaters to keep the space warm and inviting throughout the year. This makes them an increasingly popular choice for year-round events, and the ways they can be used are virtually endless. With a marquee, you have complete control over the decorations, colour schemes, lighting, and more, making them the perfect go-to for any special occasion.

If you want a space to wow your guests, a marquee is the way to go. With their versatility and customisable features, marquees are the perfect choice for all events and will ensure your special occasion succeeds.

How are they used for an event?

Marquees are a fantastic way to make events feel extra special. Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or birthday celebration, marquees offer a unique way to accommodate the event comfortably, spaciously, and elegantly.

When using a marquee for a significant event, size is critical. Make sure you hire a marquee that is large enough to fit all your guests comfortably. If you're using the marquee as an add-on to a building, you'll need to determine the size of the marquee based on the number of guests and the available space. Decorating the marquee to match the event's theme is a great way to make it feel extra special. Floors and wall linings can be fitted to the marquee, making it feel like an indoor space, even if you're having the event outdoors.

Marquees are also excellent for evening events, allowing guests to stay outside and enjoy the night air without getting too cold. When setting up the marquee, ensure adequate seating for your guests. Having the marquee set to one side of the main event area ensures that guests can still participate in the event, even if it starts to rain or they want to move inside.

Marquees are a great way to make any event feel extra special and comfortable. With the right size and setup, your guests will feel right at home in the marquee, no matter the occasion.

Different Types of Marquees

A marquee can come in various sizes and cater to any event's needs. For example, some are nice and small, designed for smaller events that need a bit of shelter from the weather for those guests that like to get out of the sun, up to large ones that will hold over 100 guests easily. For example, other marquees are used as an add-on to a venue to house catering or entertainment.

Not only are the sizes different, but there are many different styles too. For weddings, marquees are available with a more elegant styling suited for the occasion, whereas this may be too fancy for a simple office party. The range of marquees is excellent, ensuring there's always something to your every need. Most marquees can be completely customised to suit your event, and they offer a blank canvas for you to work with to create something unique.

As well as the styling, you'll find that the shape of the marquee is varied as well. The different shapes are great for various other events; if you're having a get-together and you'd like a marquee on the side, then you may be inclined to have a rounded style. A longer one may be more suitable if you have a wedding dinner, and the tables are in rows.

The shape of the marquee is affected by the number of guests and the layout, so if you're holding a reception, you may want a stage, a dance floor, plenty of seats and a bar. Getting this into a rounded style marquee may be complicated; however, with a longer, straighter one, you could easily have the stage and dance floor on one end and the bar on the other, leaving plenty of room for tables in the middle.

How can I get one for my event?

Marquees can be a great way to host events, providing an attractive and reliable shelter for your guests. From weddings to corporate functions, marquees are popular and versatile for many occasions.

Hiring a marquee has many advantages. For one, it's a great cost-saving measure. Instead of buying an expensive marquee outright, you can rent one for a fraction of the price. Moreover, the marquee provider will take care of the setup and take-down of the marquee, so you don't have to worry about the logistics.

Another benefit of hiring a marquee is that you can take advantage of the extra time it provides. Many people hire a marquee for four days, so you can set it up a day in advance. This allows you to decorate the marquee and ensure everything is in place for the big event.

Hiring a marquee is a practical and cost-effective solution for any event. You can enjoy the convenience and reliability of having the marquee for the event without worrying about the setup and take-down. And when the event is over, the marquee provider will pick it up and take it away.

Choosing the Right supplier

Organising an event can be daunting, but finding the right supplier and marquee is crucial. It's essential to research and get in touch with the company to understand the costs, the marquee you'll be getting, and the people you'll be working with. It's always a good idea to meet with the supplier at the proposed venue to check the site's suitability and discuss the most appropriate marquee and accessories for your event. Working with a knowledgeable team can help ensure that you get the perfect marquee for your event.

Before you hire your marquee, make sure to ask some crucial questions. Will the marquee and equipment be insured? When will the marquee be put up and taken down? Do they provide furniture and additional services such as generators or toilets? Could any tweaks be made before the event? By asking the right questions and properly planning your event, you can ensure you get the perfect marquee.
