One. It’s a blank canvas – no wood panelling, face brick, paisley tiles or outrageous wall colours. With the marquee being pure white, any colour that is introduced has a greater impact. Make sure you use a reputable hire company to ensure the marquee is clean to avoid disappointment on the day.
Two. You can create your own vibe – will you go cocktail lounge with ottoman seating, cocktail tables and bar stools? Will it be a traditional sit down at round tables or a long table banquet? It’s your space – do with it as you please.
Three. Celebrate well into the night – want to dance with your guests until 4am? A marquee on a private property offers unlimited time frames. No ushering everyone out at midnight.
Four. Want to save some money? You can use a marquee and save in other areas – DIY catering, purchase your own alcohol etc. Control your cost per head.
Five. Control the size of your venue – marquees come in a range of sizes to suit any amount of guests – no squeezing people in or feeling like you are in a massive barn. You can also put the door and windows wherever you like!
Six. Making it memorable – every wedding is memorable, however being able to celebrate your day at a location with emotional significance, such as a family farm, leaves an imprint on the families and guests that lasts a lifetime.
Seven. Lighting – no blaring fluorescents or spotlights. Go with romantic chandeliers, a basic round sphere or drum. Reputable hire companies will provide lights on a dimmer line so you can control the mood. Turn the lights down and let the dancing begin....
