Planning a corporate event can be a complex task. Even small events require someone to manage
the organisation and execution of the function.
One of the ways in which this workload can be eased is through choosing the
right kind of venue. If you are holding
a business event have you, for example, considered a marquee?
We think we have a compelling case for these flexible venues
so here are our top 5 reasons to hold your corporate events in a marquee:
- You can choose the location. Marquees are suitable for staging in a wide variety of locations and providing you have permission to do so, you can have a marquee erected to accommodate the number of guests you intend to invite and the type of function you wish to hold.
- You can invite as many guests as you want. Whereas other corporate venues, such as hotels, restaurants and country clubs, may have limits on the number of people their rooms can hold, marquees offer much more flexibility. When booking your marquee hire you just need to specify the number of guests you wish to cater for and the hire company will devise the most suitable event based on the number of guests. This may include choosing the most appropriate size of marquee and in some cases appending additional marquees or entrance canopies to maximise the use of space.
- You get to choose how the venue is decorated. With corporate venues brand awareness can be an important exercise, particularly if you are inviting people from outside the company and you want to make a good, lasting impression. Marquees offer you more flexibility in how the venue is decorated and organised. For example, if you are holding a conference for stakeholders you can arrange seating in a formal manner for speeches and decorate the marquee with banners, bunting and even lights to co-ordinate with your corporate colours. For internal communications and team building events, furniture can be arranged into small groups of tables and chairs, to facilitate team work.
- You can hold the event on your own premises. Provided you have suitable space and the authority to do so, corporate marquee events can be held on your company’s premises. This may be advantageous when combining a tour of your property with a business function but where you don’t have the room inside to accommodate everyone. Whatever you can do to make it easier for your guests, the more memorable and successful the event should be.
- You will be remembered for originality. No two marquee events are the same. Due to the vast number of variations in marquee size, interior décor, flooring, lighting and furniture, every event staged in a marquee has the feeling of being unique. Uniqueness and originality are two very important concepts in business, and staging an event that is different to what people expect may help create a memorable experience for your guests.
Of course there are many other reasons to hold your corporate
events in a marquee but a lot of these will become more evident once you have
tried it!
