Points To Consider When Hiring Marquees

By Margaret Gonzalez


An event must be held in a perfect location for it to proceed smoothly and remain memorable to the attendees. In case, your event is being held outdoors, you must consider the effect of sun or rain on those attending. Hiring a marquee can solve all your problems because apart from eliminating bad effects of weather elements, it can also transform any location to what you expect. However, as you think of hiring marquees, there are issues you must consider.

One of the advantages worth mentioning is that holding a function under a marquee is much cheaper than renting space in a restaurant. If it is family function, kids will also have ample space to run around without creating problems for other attendees. It is therefore a very attractive option.

The companies offering the services usually provide a complete package. Apart from the tents, you will also get the transport service, set up, furnishings, lighting and public address systems. Therefore, if a company cannot offer all these, it might be a good idea to look elsewhere. Some companies also offer additional services such as provision of flowers and catering.

Since the tents are availed in different sizes, and styles you have to choose the right one for your function. The style might not be hard to select but the size can be a bit tricky. If you know the number of people you are expecting, it might be easier to make a choice because a twelve square feet tent can ft fifteen people. Based on this fact, you can do other calculations to determine the size you need.

Although most people are used to white tents, you can get a huge variety of colors to suit the theme of your occasion. For instance, if it is a birthday party for a small child, get a marquee with colors such as blue, bright red, yellow and pink. The same applies for weddings whereby you can also get one with flowers matching your theme.

The tent setup might not be high among your priority items especially if the provider will be handling it. However, it is good to confirm whether the provider can guarantee a sturdy setup that will not buckle under pressure from strong wind or storm. A company that has been in business for years should guarantee this. If possible, you should also have an agreement on who bears the burden should the structure come down and hurt people during the function.

To get exactly what you want for your function, you must consider all the aspects discussed above when hiring marquees. Since you want the function to remain memorable to all in attendance, it is mandatory to work with professionals.
