Hiring a marquee for an outdoor function is very
beneficial as it is not only beautiful, it provides shelter against sun, wind
and rain. Some people prefer to hold only their wedding reception inside the
tent while others would like the whole day including the party afterwards
inside the marquee.
If you hire a marquee you have the freedom of choosing your day’s flow. If you do not use a marquee you are so to say
confined in a closed room being the hall where the wedding will take
place. With a marquee tent, even if it
rains you can still have a elegant, fabulous time outside and if it doesn’t
rain you are free to move around between the garden and the tent.
Some people choose to have the marquee set up at a hotel or lodge so that the
hotel has full responsibility of setting up and service before, during and
after the function. This way you do not have to worry about the
catering, décor, music, entertainment or clearing of plates etc. This is a perfect way of managing a large
wedding where hundreds of guests are involved, it gives you more time to
socialize with your guests. It gives you
more time to relax and enjoy your special day.
You will also be assisting the hotel by guests making use of their
accommodation and facilities and referring their friends to the establishment
in the future.
For those who have access to a large garden or venue to put up their marquee
tend to organize and manage everything themselves. This could be more time consuming and stressful
but it allows your creativity to flow and you can have every little thing in
its place exactly as you want it. This is especially good for the bride that is
very organized and a good planner. There
is nothing more frustrating than the end result different from the one you had
in mind.
Having a marquee set up for your function at your home or own venue allows for
control over last minute changes. If
more people arrive than expected, one can always cater for them as well. If the weather turns bad, you could always
accommodate your guests indoors at your home.
Another benefit is that your guests can overnight at your house, saving
them accommodation fees, leaving them with more cash to give to the brides pair
as a gift!
Organising Wedding Marquees
Before
arranging for the tent, first you have to be sure of all details like how many
guests you will have, what furniture and décor you prefer, size of the
dancefloor and how many tables you would like to fit in.
Be prepared to pre book your tent about six months in advance to avoid
disappointment. Especially if you are
having your wedding in the summer as this is the time when most weddings are
held.
Although summer is the most popular time to have a wedding ceremony, some
people prefer the winter, as the tent can be made cozy with the help of heaters
that you can hire from the company as well.
Autumn colours can also be used for décor, lending to a more intimate
and warm atmosphere.
Marquees are usually set up a few days before and
taken down a few days after the event, so make sure you calculate this into
your budget as well
There are many benefits to consider when it comes to Marquee Hire for your venue. Not only does it allow you to have your function almost anywhere you like, but you can decorate it according to your exact style and specifications.
