RECEPTION MARQUEE HIRE

Your marquee needs to be just the right size. Too big and it creates the wrong atmosphere, and too small could mean a squashy uncomfortable celebration.

Apart from guest numbers there are a number of factors that must be considered - but don't despair Event Marquees will assit you get it right.

As a basic rule of thumb, we generally recommend a space of one spare metre per person (e.g. 100 guests = 100 spare metre marquee) plus any additional dedicated space requirements (e.g. dance floor).

For private venues, specific permission for a marquee should be requested directly with the venue operator. Our marquees can be weighted by concrete weights or pegs depending on the surface and the venue’s requirements.  

Most public open spaces are governed by local Councils or other Government bodies (e.g. Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA) or NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service) and require a direct application from the party conducting the event. The website of the relevant body generally provides you with all the necessary info required to book the desired site for the ceremony.

At your request, Event Marquees may assist in providing you with the necessary information for you to complete such an application. This commonly includes providing a copy of our certificate of currency confirming the public liability cover held by Event Marquees.

For a peace of mind, it is always best to book sooner rather than later. From experience it is best to have your reception hire bookings sorted 6-12 months prior to the big day.

Getting the key items booked in asap is ideal.  Where possible, we aim to be flexible with smaller items and quantities being adjusted closer to the date, as we understand booking so far in advance can be tricky.
