Hiring a marquee is a great way to hold your wedding celebrations if you really want to have a blank canvas to work with and they usually work out a lot cheaper than hiring a venue.
The Practical Stuff:
– Firstly you will need to ensure that the marquee hire company you have chosen to go with
have availability for your chosen date to avoid any disappointment
– Ensure the company is willing to visit the location of where the marquee will be erected
before agreeing to do the job
– Do they have lighting and heating facilities, or is this something you will need to arrange
yourself?
– Make sure you have enough power supply for what you want and how you will arrange this,
you may need to hire a generator, and a spare incase the first ones power blows!
– Where will the toilets be located?
– Where will the kitchen be located for the caterers?
– Think about heating, regardless of season!
The Designing:
– Think of a colour scheme, theme or some of your favourite things to get your creative juices
flowing
– Pick your flowers, centrepieces, tablecloths and chair covers that will tie in with the above to
decorate the space
– Think about having up-lighters and other types of lights to create the atmosphere you want
– Think about where you will have the bar, the evening entertainment and the dance floor, it’s a
good idea to have the bar near to where the evening entertainment will be
– Will you need any additional furniture?
We hope this helps you to get started with your planning…as you can see it is a lot of hard work and a large amount to think about to ensure you’re doing everything right – which is why hiring a wedding planner can really take the strain off you by offering expert advice and doing the hard parts for you.
