Using a marquee for your wedding venue

A marquee is great solution or alternative to a wedding venue.  Using a marquee hire company means you can create a venue that meets all of your requirements and makes your special day unique.

Are you due to get wed soon? and have you thought about using a marquee as your venue? Hiring a marquee can be a great alternative to having a permanent venue. If you ask me then a advantages of using a marquee are greater than the cons, for example marquees can be erected in most places as long as the surface you're erecting on allows it. The normal space for which one can be assembled is anywhere with a patch of available grass, be it a lawn, field or even cricket pitch, it really makes no difference because if the space is big enough then there are no restrictions as the tent can be easily anchored either by driving stakes through allocated leg plates into the ground or on traditional style tents, using guy ropes. Do not let such as a patio, yard or other concrete type surface as long as it can be safely and securely put up which might mean drilling into the concrete to fix the structure in place.


In addition to the fact that clearspan marquees are mobile, a further advantage is they are modular which means they can be made to the size that meets your needs. Being made to include items such as dance floor, music, and bars among other things. The company responsible for your marquee will calculate the size needed to fit everything in which is something a bricks and mortar venue may not be able to offer as the size is obviously restricted.

After making the decision that your event requires a marquee there is the matter of the interior that needs to be addressed next. A clear-span marquee comes as a frame and canvass structure as standard, fittings and fixtures within the structure are all optional unless you have obtained a pre-made package from your company you're working with. Things you will need to consider are as follows; flooring, linings, lighting, heating and windows. We shall have a brief look at each aspect below.

Flooring

As a basic set-up you may want to leave the ground inside the marquee bare, letting you guests walk on the surface it's erected on, be it grass or concrete. This can be totally fine for events including charity gatherings, garden parties, low key functions and the like. However for grander occasions just like a wedding or anniversary then it's usually a good idea to select some sort of carpet or matting.

Linings

The linings are an extra which hang from the ceilings and walls like drapes, which in my opinion improve the visual eye immensely and create a substantially grander, complete feel. The main events that use them are weddings and if you've attended a marquee wedding then likely hood is you have witnessed them as very few weddings go without. The typical colour is generally ivory white which can then be teemed with coloured valances or swags to match the colour theme of the bride and groom. The array of valances is vast and means you could have virtually any colour you desire. As an enhancement to the linings you have the option of adding a starlight lining which consists of a black drape with hundreds and leds pulled through it from behind to give the appearance of an evening sky. These help to develop a brilliant atmosphere and give your event a wow factor.

Heating

Self-explanatory, the heating section should be advised by the marquee company who can tell you the correct heater to accommodate your needs taking into account the guest numbers and marquee size. A couple of options maybe available to you but all in all they do a similar job and are normally kept out of view so it will just come down to the price given within the quote.

Windows

Traditional structures probably won't have any window sections within the canvass so this option becomes defunct but with new modern structures such as clear-span marquees you can incorporate window sections to give you a view from inside the marquee and enable natural day light in. The invention of these more modern structures brings a different dimension into the marquee industry because it means individuals are now able to use more remote places as stunning wedding venues, name-ably fields and open spaces because as long as they have a view they can be transformed into a magnificent venue built to meet the full requirements of the client.
