If you have just got engaged, you may already be thinking
about putting some solid plans in place for your big day, but may be unsure as
to when you should make your initial enquiries about marquee hire for your
wedding day, either for the ceremony or for the afternoon and evening
celebrations. The truth is, there is no ideal time, but in our experience, it
is always best to start organising things sooner rather than later, even if you
aren’t getting married for another year or so.
After you have enjoyed the first week or so of your engagement,
telling your family and friends and celebrating with them, and getting used to
looking at your fiancé in a slightly different way, knowing that you will marry
them soon, you can start to get organised.
Some couples (or at least one half of a couple) like to get
the ball rolling very early, deciding on a venue as soon as possible so that
they can start working with us on the finer details that will make their
wedding day extra special. On the other hand, there are some couples who like
to wait a little longer to make important decisions – we are here to help you
make your important decisions, whether it comes down to marquee hire choices,
or interior and exterior decorations. Some couples may even want to get married
as soon as possible, so we can be on hand to provide extra planning support.
On average, most couples make initial marquee hire enquiries
at around a year before their wedding date. A year’s worth of work allows us
and the happy couple to get every element of their special day just right,
ensuring that their wedding is not only the happiest day of their life, but
also a day to remember for their wedding guests.
Making an enquiry with us about hiring a marquee for your
wedding venue can give you a solid basis to build the rest of your wedding
organisation around. Once you have decided how many guests that you will
invite, and the style and size of your marquee, it is much easier for all of
the finer details to fall into place, from decorations, lighting, furniture and
flooring, to portable toilets.
Another key reason for making your enquiries early is that
marquee wedding hire companies can become booked up very early, especially for
certain times of the year. Many couples decided to get married during the
summer months, so if you plan to do so, it is always well worth contacting a
marquee company as soon as possible.
Although there is technically no ideal time to make yourinitial marquee wedding enquiries, we always advise that you start making plans
as soon as possible, perhaps giving yourself a week to celebrate your
engagement.
