Marquee Hire - Top tips and common misconceptions.

Recently, when talking to clients, we’ve noticed the same common misconceptions often seem to arise, deterring people form choosing a marquee solution for their event.  Marquee hire often provides an excellent and inexpensive alternative to a permanent venue, allows you more choice and can be erected in some suppressing locations!

Here is White Tent Event's list of some of the most common misconceptions and a few of our Top Tips for dealing with them…

• People often assume it is only possible to build a marquee on a flat, well-mowed law. however this is no longer the case! With newer, more modern marquees, it’s easy to assemble a sub frame under the marquee allowing us to level any surface and to build a marquee on top.
  


• Trees, bushes, walls and ponds can all be incorporated inside a marquee, and often create a unique and exciting feature. White Tent Events have built marquees over swimming pools and ponds, steps and hedges, and have even built a marquee with a tree in the centre! – Nothings impossible! (Take a look at our gallery for a few examples)


• Marquees are not only summer time thing! Technology has moved on allowing us to install marquees all year round. With glass doors, solid flooring and thermostatically controlled heaters your marquee can be as warm and comfortable as an indoor venue – and often cheaper. Last year White Tent Events installed marquees for weddings in December, January and February.  


• Marquee weddings are not an expensive option. Often a marquee in your own garden is cheaper than it would be to book a venue. Every marquee is bespoke meaning the you get a choice in all aspects of the marquee, from the colour theme to the shape, meaning that it can be tailored to any budget.


• With a marquee you can impose your ideas.  Most permanent venues offer very little flexibility, with the same furniture and colures for every event they do.  But a marquee you can make look totally unique and tailored for you.  Pick your colour schema and lining, the furniture of your choice, and even where you want the doors to be.
