Make Your Wedding Something Your Guests Didn't Expect
Congratulations on your wedding! Do you intend to have it away from your home area? If so, have you considered hiring a marquee for the event? If you haven't, think about it and act before time runs out. A marquee creates an amazing outdoor environment for outdoor events such as weddings and protects those who attend from rain and scorching sun. Although some venues plan the event for their clients, you should book a marquee early to create an excellent wedding atmosphere. So what practical things should you bear in mind when hiring a marquee? Keep reading.
External Lighting
It's one thing to find out if the marquee has external lighting and it's another thing to assess how much lighting you need. The marquee you hire shouldn't have external lighting that is less than your lighting needs. Do you intend to entertain your guests late in the evening? If so, then string fairy lights in the trees around or get some festoon lights if the venue has some shepherd crooks to meet your guests' lighting needs. Choose lighting that will help your guests to access walkways and parking lots easily and see what they are eating.
Services You Need
Your guests have every good or bad thing to say about your wedding depending on the services offered. If you already have a venue where the event would take place, then you need to get services and facilities that go well with the marquee you hire. Does the marquee hire company offer catering, toilet and bar services or will you outsource them? A company with a large catering tent creates the dedicated space the caterers need to prepare and serve food and drinks. These services shouldn't be far from where your guests are seated.
Water and Electricity Supply
A good wedding venue should have enough water and electricity supply to make things smooth during your wedding. Look for a generator to ensure that music, lighting and catering services are intact if power issues occur. Inadequate water supply hinders toilet, catering and bar services in a big way and gives your outdoor wedding a bad image, so don't go for a venue that doesn't have adequate water and electricity supply.
If the marquee you want to hire has some restrictions, find out what they are and how flexible they can be. Ensure you set the marquee for your wedding about two or three days to the big day. The size of the marquee you hire depends on how many guests will attend the event. You now know the practical aspects to think about when thinking about a marquee hire for your wedding.
