5 Top Tips on getting your perfect wedding marquee

You have made the wonderful decision to get married, and spend the rest of your life with someone you love very much.  Your wedding is one of the most important days that you will have in your life – it’s so significantly important, that it’s normal to want everything on your special day to be perfect.  Whether it’s a big, lavish wedding you want or something small and intimate, wedding marquees can cater for all your needs, to make your special day as memorable as possible.

Wedding marquees offer lots of benefits; they come in a range of sizes and can be pitched in a variety of scenic open spaces, to give you those beautiful photographs which you will cherish forever, and be able to pass down through the generations to come.

If you have been considering a marquee for your wedding, it’s good to look at pictures for ideas and scour the internet for previous marquees, which have been hired for weddings to get a rough idea of what yours could be like. 

Here are 5 top tips which can inspire you to get your perfect wedding marquee for your big day:

1.       Location:

Pick somewhere that you like, and which you know will give you a lovely background for any photography or videography to take place. After all, you want something to offset the amazing bridal dress you will have on.

 

Whilst picking somewhere picturesque is great, make sure that it’s somewhere that has enough open space, so that your guests won’t feel too restricted. It’s also important to look at where the marquee will be situated, and to look for any cables or wires that are noticeable, which could cause an obstruction on the day. Health and safety is important, so make sure that the surrounding areas are well lit, and there are no overhead cables or trees.

2.       Traditional v Modern:

This choice is entirely down to you, but either way there are many styles of wedding marquees which can be tailored to suit both traditional and modern ideas.  Whilst the design element is important, make sure that the marquee you choose can hold up any decorations like chandeliers well. Ensure that the structure is strong and sturdy, and meets all the necessary safety standards.

3.       Size and numbers:

Planning how many people come to your wedding can often attract varying opinions, as weddings can escalate into big numbers before you know it.  Allocate spaces as accurately as possible, so that your marquee will suit the number of guests you have. The last thing you would want is to have too many guests, and not enough tables and chairs to seat them at. 

Have a look at marquee size guides, and work out what would be best to have. Marquees can be made to hold a significant number of guests so this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

4.       Décor:

You can personalise your marquee with your own style, you could choose to colour co-ordinate everything if you wanted to, from the chandeliers to the table cloths, and overall marquee design.  You could also choose to have flower arrangements, to add that touch of elegance to your tables and marquee. 

5.       Good planning and less worrying:

Whilst your big day is definitely one of the grandest moments in your life, try not to worry. As stressful as it may be, it’s important to relax and remember that as long as everything is organised for the day, it will all go well. 

Marquees are unique in themselves, and they often come with organised staff who can help offer you some great ideas to help make your wedding day special, along with the support of your friends and family.

Your big day may seem like miles away, but it will be fast approaching so don’t forget to book the dream marquee of your choice for your wedding.  They are extremely versatile, and can offer elegance and glamour, giving you a day to remember.
