Ten Reasons Why You Should Hire a Marquee for Your Wedding



As anyone who has ever planned a wedding knows all too well, there’s a lot to organise and it can be a logistical nightmare arranging everything for the big event. Even small weddings are big occasions and you want everything to go as smoothly as possible on the day. Finding the right venue for your wedding can often be one of the major headaches. Hiring a function suite, hotel venue or local hall, especially in Surrey, can be expensive and will need to booked far in advance if you want to be sure of getting it for your chosen date. An alternative well worth considering is hiring a marquee for your wedding. Wedding marquee hire offers the perfect solution – and here’s ten reasons why.

1. Hiring a marquee is inexpensive, compared to the cost of a hotel or other venue. The savings you make on hiring a marquee can be spent on flowers, more food and wine for you and your guests, or on your honeymoon!

2. Marquees are flexible and are ideal for outside, but can be set up just about anywhere as long as there’s enough room. Wherever you choose to put up the marquee - in the garden, inside a hanger, or old tram station - there’s your wedding venue!

3. Marquees are different and provide a more relaxed, informal setting compared to a hotel banqueting room. Everything, including the speeches, meal and the partying afterwards can be accommodated in a marquee. You can even request a small dance floor for your marquee, if you want to spare the grass.

4. Putting up a marquee outdoors means you and your guests can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, and if it starts to rain, you’re covered!

5. Marquees come in a variety of sizes and shapes, so you can go for one big marquee or a couple of smaller ones, depending on how many guests you’ve invited.

6. Marquees are great if you’re planning a themed wedding, as they can be easily transformed with some hangings, lanterns, rugs etc – without any fuss or having to worry about getting permission first.

7. Wedding marquee hire in Surrey is easy to arrange and you’ll have the venue sorted out for where and when you want it, at your convenience. No more frantic searching around to find an available venue in Surrey!

8. A marquee provides a unique atmosphere; light, airy, relaxed, and intimate. Cool on a hot day and perfect for the evening dancing, you and your guests will love the ambience a marquee helps to create.

9. Weddings can seem like stuffy occasions for the youngsters, but they’ll find a marquee a lot more exciting. Even better, why not hire a smaller marquee and lay on some entertainment, just for the kids?

10. Marquees are simple to put up and take down again, meaning there’s no huge clean-up operation necessary after the last guests have gone.

If you’re planning a wedding and haven’t decided on a venue yet, hiring a marquee for the big day could be an inspired choice!
