A marquee is among the critical additions you need for your wedding. However, the marquee you choose should offer a convenient and comfortable setting for your guests. If you don't select the right tent, you might end up with a crowded event. Choosing an ideal marquee for a wedding or any other function doesn't just happen; it should begin with the consideration of the following factors.
Size
The number of guests you expect and the event's activities will determine the size of the marquee you should hire. Let the number of guests who have confirmed attendance help you decide how big or small the marquee should be.
If you hire a marquee that won't accommodate all your guests, some of them might have nothing good to remember about your special event. However, if you invited only a few guests, you should choose a small marquee that meets your needs.
Tables and Seats
Consider the sitting arrangement and types of tables you want to use during the wedding before you hire a marquee. If you expect many guests, hire more seats and tables that can accommodate them all. Where possible, you should hire seats and tables from the same marquee company to make work easier. The company might need to check your guest list to figure out how many tables and chairs you should have in the tent.
Style
Think about the style of your wedding before you contact any marquee supplier. Consider the shape of the marquee, its decorations, and how it will be laid out before you choose one. Marquees or tents come in different types, and you can choose any of them based on the style of your wedding. A marquee meant for a traditional wedding might not suit a party wedding.
The wedding venue or event ground could also determine the style of the marquee you choose. If the venue has some exquisite gardens or ponds, make sure you position the marquee in a way that doesn't obstruct the view.
Budget
Set a budget to help you know the kind of tent you should hire. Different marquees come with different packages, and the package you choose depends on your budget. If you want a large and unique canopy for your event, be ready to part with more money.
However, you should visit several marquee service providers and compare their costs. Some of them may have affordable marquees with unique accessories for people working on a tight budget.
With the four considerations above, you can get an ideal marquee for your event. For more information, contact a marquee hire service.
I started researching this blog some time ago when I decided I wanted to find out more about the events industry. I don't work in the industry but it has always fascinated me. I started out by reading some articles and then I watched a lot of different YouTube videos which looked at different aspects of event hire. I have used my new found knowledge to produce a range of articles which delve into just about every aspect on organising and hosting an event of any size. I hope you enjoy reading the things I have posted on this blog. Thanks.
