What You Need to Know About Marquee Hire

Marquee hire is the rental of a large tent or a marquee for events such as weddings, parties and corporate events. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles to suit the needs of your event.

Why is marquee called marquee?

There are many different types of marquee available to choose from – framed and traditional canvas are usually the most popular as they can be used for almost any occasion. They are suitable for tiered gardens, tennis courts and can be constructed over ponds or swimming pools.

The interior décor of a marquee will be determined by the style of the event – whether it is bohemian, rustic or a more traditional theme. For the more bohemian look, a tent might be preferable but more traditionally themed events will typically suit a framed or traditional canvas marquee.

Flooring, wall linings and doors should be provided in the package, and most hirers will also supply chairs and tables. Some companies will also provide a range of other extras such as guest umbrellas and coat rails.

Lighting and heating should be considered too, as these are very important for a successful party! The hirer should be able to advise you on the power requirements of your marquee, as catering and bands can often require a large amount of power.

A good hirer will be able to advise you on all the options available to you and give you their professional opinion on what would work best for your event. Having all the information you need from the start can help to make your marquee hire experience as smooth and stress-free as possible, so it is worth taking the time to do a bit of research before you contact any prospective marquee hirers.
