Some Information About Marquee Hire

By Becky Slade


Every family enjoys a few big occasions now and then, from engagement parties and weddings, to 21st birthdays and retirements..

More often than not, these special occasions take place in the local village hall, community centre or pub - but quite a lot of times, organisers rent a marquee to cater for their guests and provide a memorable backdrop to the proceedings.

Many people assume that marquee hire is dear and that you need to be wealthy with a lot of land to errect one for an event.

This is simply not true. Marquees come in all shapes and sizes, from the largest set up for really special events, to compact and cosy alternatives that can fit in most sizes of garden. Whatever your budget and requirements, it's fair to say that any decent marquee hire company should be able to accommodate your wishes and meet your needs based on any size of function.

Of course, marquees also need heating, lights and decoration - and whilst many event organisers will add their own personal style to the interior dcor of the marquee, it's true that most marquee firms can provide low price generators for power, and can also supply themed decoration options to assist in creating a magical environment for your special event.

Whilst most marquee hire firms can provide tables and seating options, a few can also help with the full package of benefits like the hire of electronic equipment through partner suppliers.

Business partnerships are also important for the marquee hire firms who want to provide a one-stop service for your wedding reception, retirement party or big event. Many marquee companies have links with preferred DJ's, caterers, specialist cake makers and decorators - so the whole event experience can be booked from just one source. This has the added benefit of giving you just one person to deal with when organising your event, rather than a multitude of different firms. As a result, this way of hiring your marquee and everything that goes with it can often be cheaper than going to all the various providers separately.

Perhaps the final factor to consider when choosing a marquee hire firm for your big day or special event, is the people that run the company who will provide the marquee. As with any other industry, customer service is very important when you are planning a party. You want to know that the business you choose has a track record of being on time, setting things up as they say they will, and not letting you down when the big day arrives. Therefore, before you take the plunge and hire a marquee company, it's good form to ask for positive comments from older clients to get an idea of how the company is managed and run, and to check if they actually merit their reputation - fantastic or bad.

If you shop around and properly check their record, you'll make sure your marquee hire experience is a positive one and helps your big event to be an occasion that everyone remembers for a very long time.
