Throwing an Unforgettable Party: Proven Strategies for Choosing the Perfect Theme

Are you looking to make your next event a night to remember? Whether celebrating a birthday, anniversary, Christmas, christening, housewarming, retirement or something else, a marquee provides the perfect blank canvas for creating a memorable atmosphere.

At Zest Marquees, we've had the pleasure of designing and setting up marquees for various occasions, and we've got some great ideas to share! From elegant, traditional settings to exciting, extravagant themes, we can create a custom atmosphere that perfectly suits your event.

A Hollywood Oscars Theme

It's time to roll out the red carpet and throw the ultimate Hollywood-themed party! Whether you want to recreate the classic Audrey Hepburn style or something more contemporary chic, you can make your celebration memorable and unique. 

One of the best ways to set the scene is to name your tables after your favourite movies or film stars. Add a few well-placed props, such as life-size gold Marilyn and a giant Oscar statue, and your guests will instantly get the theme. You can also go all out with additional props, such as backdrops featuring silver-screen stars or luxury boutique toilet units featuring pictures of A-list celebrities. 

For extra glitz and glamour, consider including a sparkling star cloth ceiling, Pea Light dance floor and an LED bar. Even if your party's in a marquee in your backyard, you can still make it feel like a star-studded event. 

At the night's end, your guests will discuss your Hollywood-themed party for years!

Ibiza Theme

Let the magic of the White Isle come to you with an Ibiza-themed marquee party! You won't be able to replicate the sun, sea, and sand, but you can still capture the exciting party atmosphere and laid-back club vibes that Ibiza is so well-known for. To do so, opt for clean lines and vibrant colours throughout the marquee, lots of white space, a funky bar, and a cool nightclub area. A creative lighting set-up and a dry ice machine will help to set the tone and remember to include several chill-out areas for the whole Ibiza experience.

LED lighting, cube seats, white sofas, and low tables are ideal for creating chill-out zones. Make an area away from the dance floor and bar so your guests can relax after partying. Set the tone with classic, chilled Ibiza tunes to complete the atmosphere and watch the sun rise over your marquee. Put it all together, and you'll be in for a magical, nostalgic night of partying and chilling out with your closest friends.

Garden party theme

Please make the most of the British summertime and host a garden party for your family and friends! Frame Tents and Chinese Hat Pagoda Marquees are the perfect way to create an outdoor space that everyone can enjoy, whether during the day or evening.

Frame Tents are an excellent choice for those looking for something a bit more practical. Structured and versatile, these tents can be built in various sizes depending on the number of guests and provide a fantastic feature area for your party to enjoy. They offer protection from the sun or rain without side walls or window panels, making them an excellent all-weather solution.

If you want to make a statement, Chinese Hat Pagoda Marquees are the way to go. With their peaked tops and scalloped edges, they're a decorative option sure to make a statement. One pagoda can provide a 5m x 5m area of cover, ideal for housing a bar, buffet tables or even a couple of round tables to seat up to twenty guests for dining. Join three or more together, and you have a beautiful space for your guests to enjoy during the day and into the evening.

So, if you're looking for a practical, versatile, and statement-making way to make the most of the British summertime, look no further than Frame Tents and Chinese Hat Pagoda Marquees. Not only will they give you the perfect outdoor space for your garden party, but you'll also have a feature area that will impress your guests.

Back to the 80's party theme

Ah, the 80s. It was a time of big hair, bright neon colours, and iconic music that defined an entire generation. If you love the 80s, there's no better way to celebrate than with an excellent old-fashioned 80s-themed party.

But why do people love the 80s so much? Well, the 80s marked a period of unparalleled economic growth and social progress. The Cold War ended, the Berlin Wall came down, and the world was starting to embrace the idea of global connectivity. It was a time of great optimism, even if the future was still unknown.

The music of the 80s was also revolutionary. It was a time when glam rock, synthpop, and new wave were all the rage. We all remember iconic hits like "Take On Me" by A-ha, "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. These songs still have the power to transport us back to the days of our youth.

The 80s was also a time of fashion experimentation. We had big hair, bright colours, neon accents, and shoulder pads. It was a time when people pushed boundaries and weren't afraid to express themselves through their clothing choices.

So if you're looking for a unique, fun, and memorable way to celebrate, why not throw an 80s-themed party? The music, the fashion, and the memories will surely make it an event to remember!
