HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT LAYOUT FOR MY MARQUEE?

Marquee Hire Surrey have very informative blog posts on their site, if you are thinking of hiring a marquee they are definitely the people to contact. Our company was wanting to hire a marquee for a large corporate function and we did not know where to turn. Marquee Hire came highly recommended so we contacted them and they gave us brilliant service from beginning to end.

This was a great day!

When considering marquee layouts, and what seating to choose, there is a large amount of choice available; a certain aspect will be dictated by the type of function and whether it is a fully seated, part seating, or standing function.

Whilst we stock a wide variety of furniture, it is key to consider what atmosphere you are trying to create in your marquee, so that the furniture can be used to help add to this.

For fully seated functions we would recommend either 8 guests sat at 5ft round tables or 10 guests sat at 5ft 6″ round tables, allowing a 3x3m space for each table. We also stock 6ft round tables to seat 12 guests, however these are suited for more formal functions, as due to the size it makes it much harder for guests to speak to each other across the table. For top tables, for more traditional events such as weddings, we have long tables (4ft or 6ft long), and oval tables to suit a varying number of guests. Of course, like all of our marquees and events, none of this is set in stone, we can fine tune the furniture and marquee to suit your finer requirements.

For an informal function or part seated buffet using a range of table sizes works very well. It also breaks down the structure to create a more informal atmosphere. 3ft round tables work particularly well. We also have a variety of other seating available for hire including cubed seats, sofas, poseur tables; which can all add to the atmosphere, and create another area in the marquee, please feel free to browse the furniture we have available.

We are always happy to draft table layouts for our clients or to show other corporate events, private parties or weddings we have helped create in marquees, so do feel free to drop us a line if would like some assistance, or just a friendly chat about your event.

Traditional wedding marquee hire

It might not seem like it when there is frost on the ground and you can see your breath when standing by the back door, but winter is the perfect time to purchase a marquee for your outdoor events with one of Marquee Hire extensive range of winter marquee and Pop up Marquees for sale.

Here are our five reasons why:

1)      You’ll have plenty of time – if you have ever organised an event before, no matter what the size or nature of the ‘do’ you’ll probably have felt pushed for time at some point.  Organising venues, guest lists, catering, furniture and entertainment (to name but a few tasks) is very time consuming, so by getting started now ready for your 2015 spring, summer or autumn events you will give yourself the gift of time.

2)      You’ll get a better choice – by booking your events early it stands to reason that you will have more choice.  Availability for any event venue or service is generally better when booking in advance.  If you are choosing a marquee for your venue, you’ll have an improved choice of size and style on your given date if you book now rather than waiting until nearer the time.

3)      You can spread the cost of your event – when organising a family party or wedding it will help to ease the burden if you can spread the cost over several months.   By booking your venue now and getting the deposit or full amount paid, you’ll then have plenty of time to replenish your funds ready for the additional costs of catering and entertainment.

4)      You’ll get a better turnout – as soon as you have booked your venue you can start inviting your guests.  The earlier you get your invites out, the better your turnout should be as people aren’t generally booked up for events that far in advance.

5)      You’ll have something to look forward to – Let’s face it as soon as Christmas and New Year are over everything goes a bit flat.  There’s a good two months of winter still to struggle through and no time off work for a while, so what else is there to look forward to?  If you have booked your 2015 events early you’ll have a date in the calendar to countdown to.

Are you looking for an usual party theme?

      

We were trying to plan the perfect party and had no idea where to start until a colleague recommended we speak to Marquee Chichester whom they had used in the past.

At first we were a little hesitant as we didn't just need to hire a marquee we needed big ideas to pull this function off. We were so surprised as they have professional party and function planners who shared their thoughts and ideas as well as being able to organise decor and catering all under one service. What a pleasure it was, we will definitely be using Marquee Hire in the future.

Dear Guy,

Please accept my sincere apologies for not writing to you before today to sincerely thank you and your team for all that you did on the occasion of our party on the 1st May.

The feedback we have had from just about everybody who came has been fantastic. Everybody thought the day went very well with an impressive marquee and great food. Our guests thought the girls did a great job but most of the comment was about the food which went down a storm !

Thank you for all that you did. It was a pleasure dealing with you and rest assured if we do it again we will be back in touch with you straight away.

With my thanks and best regards.

Chris
