Marquee FAQ’s
If your query isn’t covered, please contact us.
What sizes do marquees come in?
How can I tell how big the marquee needs to be for my event?
Take a look at our occupancy guidelines. This will give you an indication of what space is needed to accommodate the number of invited guests. Obviously, this is only an estimate and if you want to include a bar area, stage, photo booth, casino table etc, you may need more space. We will discuss this with you when we meet you for a planning meeting.
Can you provide us with a floor plan for our marquee?
Can marquees be erected on a slope?
There’s not an easy answer to this question but often we can accommodate a small slope, step, patio or other obstacle. We always like to visit the location for the marquee for a free planning meeting before a booking is accepted and we can advise at this time.
Can marquees be erected on solid surfaces as well as grass?
Yes they can. Patios, car parks, driveways etc can all be used for our clearspan marquees but we will need to either drill small holes into the hard surface to secure the marquee or alternatively, use weights to anchor it down. There are certain limitations and we would always need to arrange a no-obligation site meeting to advise you further.
I’m not sure if we have enough space, will you come and measure up?
We will always visit and measure up a new venue. Whilst there we will check for obstacles (above and below the surface), look at the access arrangements and will often take some photos to make sure the installation runs smoothly on the day. Our site meetings are free and without obligation.
What can I have inside my marquee?
There are many options that you can choose to decorate and enhance your marquee and we can help you decide what you need to suit your particular event. Our range of tables, chairs and other furniture/equipment can be seen on our sister company’s website – southernfurniturehire.co.uk or call us on 01202 823755 to discuss.
