When your hire a marquee the most essential step is to ensure you have a high quality marquee the right size for your gathering. This is easy - just talk to our marquee hire team to get personalised recommendations and an accurate quote. But first, here are a few styling ideas you might like to use!
Professional event styling tips for your hire marquee
Create an entrance area
As well as your large hire marquee, we can offer small pop up marquees or gazebos to create an entrance way that welcomes guests inside and lets you protect marquee entrance decorations from wind and rain.
This is also a great idea if your event is paid entry, as it provides a shady area where festival goers can queue without getting burnt, and helps with crowd control and security.
Fashionable marquee flooring
Consider marquee flooring to elevate your event. Practical as well as pretty, marquee flooring means high heels won't sink into the grass and the dance floor won't get muddy as the night goes on. Choose elegant pale wood or 1920's inspired checkered tiles, or just add functional matting in areas where there will be high traffic - it's up to you!
Flowers or greenery
From frothing bunches of roses in pastel hues to artfully dotted plants, toitoi spears to palm trees, a botanical touch adds personality and beauty to any event.
Chill out areas in your marquee
Its easy for our marquee hire team to add an extra smaller marquee to one side, creating space for a bar area or relaxing area with comfortable seating available. The large marquee can be set up for dining and speeches, with a quieter area available for more intimate socialising.
Marquee lighting and power
Popping a hire marquee in a remote field is an event planners dream, but when night falls you'll want some kind of lighting and a way to run it! Choose from strands of fairy lights, highlighted areas, disco balls and chandeliers to illuminate your hire marquee after dark.
Our team can add power and lighting into your quote and coordinate our party hire partners - one less thing for you to organise.
Choose your tables wisely
Are you a long wooden trestle table person or a round tables draped in white linen person? Whether you prefer classic or boho style, we can arrange a quote for furniture along with your marquee hire, and organise delivery too. Save time and hassle by combining marquee hire with furniture hire. We can help ensure that your table arrangements will fit in your marquee and that you will have enough seating for guests at your event.
Clear marquee panels for light and scenery
A hire marquee doesn't have to be all white or completely clear. You can hire a marquee with alternating panels, and also choose to have silk lining throughout, or as a feature. Consider if you want guests to be able to see the stars at night, or admire a beautiful view while they dine - and also if you want white panels in the marquee roof to provide shade on a hot day.
Just have a chat with our marquee hire team to arrange the party hire extras you prefer, and to ensure you have the perfect marquee for your guests, venue and occasion.
