Have the Wedding of your Dreams – It’s your Day in Every Way
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT LAYOUT FOR MY MARQUEE?
Celebrate that special occasion as you would like, with marquee Hire’s large selection of marquees, you can choose the size depending on how many guests you wish to attend. This is particularly useful when you planning your wedding.
When considering marquee layouts, and what seating to choose, there is a large amount of choice available especially if you are having a marquee wedding Sussex; a certain aspect will be dictated by the type of function and whether it is a fully seated, part seating, or standing function.
Marquee Hire stock a wide variety of furniture, it is key to consider what atmosphere you are trying to create in your marquee, so that the furniture can be used to help add to this.
For fully seated functions they would recommend either 8 guests sat at 5ft round tables or 10 guests sat at 5ft 6″ round tables, allowing a 3x3m space for each table. They also stock 6ft round tables to seat 12 guests, however these are suited for more formal functions, as due to the size it makes it much harder for guests to speak to each other across the table.
For top tables, for more traditional events such as weddings, they have long tables (4ft or 6ft long), and oval tables to suit a varying number of guests. Of course, like all of their marquees and events, none of this is set in stone, they can fine tune the furniture and marquee to suit your finer requirements.
For an informal function or part seated buffet using a range of table sizes works very well. It also breaks down the structure to create a more informal atmosphere. 3ft round tables work particularly well. Marquee Hire also have a variety of other seating available for hire including cubed seats, sofas, poseur tables; which can all add to the atmosphere, and create another area in the marquee, please feel free to browse the furniture available.

Marquee Hire have affordable wedding winter marquee hire packages
Here at JF Marquees and Marquee Hire recently we were very excited to have been given the opportunity to get involved with London Fashion Week. We were approached by fashion designer Edeline Lee, who required a space in which she could showcase her brand new collection. Edeline needed a marquee which ran alongside the rear terrace of Somerset House, exposing visitors to some fabulous views over the River Thames.
The marquee build was fairly straightforward, though we had to make sure the marquee was weighted as it was constructed directly onto the terrace. However, the timescales were very tight, and we needed to ensure we could both build and then de rig the marquee very quickly. This was a little tricky as we had limited access to the site, however our experienced team pulled it off and Edeline’s marquee was a success.
You can see from the image above how the structural nature of the marquee was emphasised by the layout, using a number of pods for models rather than the traditional cat walk/run way! The lighting and sound has to be just right, and there needs to be plenty of space available for photographers and journalists as well as other guests.
It’s worth remembering that marquees aren't simply for weddings and country fairs – they are so versatile that they can be used for all sorts of occasions. As well as providing a stand along venue, they can also be incorporated into existing buildings, therefore extending the space which is already there. Our marquee at London Fashion Week is a good example of this, as we were able to provide an extension of a stunning location, therefore helping to add much need space and functionality to the venue.

Our Top Tips For Your Wedding Reception Checklist
Our Top Tips For Your Wedding Reception Checklist
Marquee Hire have had years of experience in helping couples to organise their weddings, so we’ve put together a handy wedding checklist to help brides and grooms to make sure their wedding day runs smoothly. If you’ve planned for your wedding reception to take place in a marquee, then check out our wedding reception checklist (by no means extensive!):
- Choose the right style of marquee. This will vary according to the number of guests you are inviting and how you wish them to be seated – you’ll also want to make sure that your guests are sheltered from the Great British weather whilst they are enjoying their meal, so go for a walled marquee such as a Clearspan. Providing flexibility in terms of interior fit out and styling.
- Be sure that the marquee has a suitable power supply. It might not sound very glamorous to think about generators and electrics, but without suitable power, you won’t have lighting, heating, music or perhaps catering. Your marquee company should be able to sort the power supply for you but double check with them to make sure they know what they are doing. Can you imagine a Wedding where the lights go out? We can’t, so ensure that this area is thoroughly checked. We use our own ECA registered electricians to carry out installations on our behalf.
- You’ll also need to consider which flooring option you will go for – after all, many of your guests won’t be too happy if you’ve decided to just stick with the grass as your flooring option! Consider matting to the entrance and matting or perhaps a carpeted area underneath the dining tables and, a parquet or black and white dance floor. Alternatively a hard floor throughout should the ground conditions not be suitable for matting. See what options your marquee provider is able to offer you.
- Have you thought about lighting? Fluorescent strip lights won’t give a particularly romantic atmosphere, but chandeliers, uplighters and dappled lights will. You will need to think about the lighting options for the time when your guests will be eating as well as the lighting during the evening’s entertainment.
- Heating – you might be having a summer wedding, but with Britain’s unpredictable weather, your guests may start feeling chilly by late evening. Consider using a thermostatically controlled heating system which can be utilised if the temperature drops during the evening. Of course, if you’re having a winter wedding, then you’ll want the marquee to be nice and warm for when the guests arrive following the ceremony.
- Decorations. The way that the marquee is decorated inside can really help to reinforce the theme that you are aiming for with your wedding. Try to keep consistency with your wedding stationery, the dress and flowers, so consider these carefully when deciding on how to decorate the marquee. Most marquee hire companies will work with you to suggest some ideas and will help to put your plans into action.
