Q | We're thinking of hiring a marquee for our upcoming wedding. What do we need to be aware of before booking? |
A | The Team says: First, assess the location and size of your venue. Your chosen spot must have enough flat, grassy space to accommodate a marquee and all the necessary amenities. Next, consider the style and design that you like; for example, our marquees are based on traditional pegs, poles and ropes. Ensure there's sufficient access for lorries, equipment (such as luxury toilets), kitchen equipment, and obviously access for your guests. Budget planning is essential too. Beyond the marquee hire cost, account for extras like flooring, lighting, furniture and power supply. Remember, unless you employ a wedding planner or decorator, a marquee wedding is very much a DIY affair, so ensure you are keen on a personal approach to setting up and decorating. It helps to have an army of friends or family to help in that aspect too. Finally, consult with a reputable marquee hire company. We have over 30 years of experience in the industry, meaning our expertise can guide you through the process, from initial setup to dismantling, ensuring a stress-free experience. |
