If you maintain a lot of knowledge about industry events and festivals, you might have heard the hype about marquees. These air structures offer a good amount of insulation and are affordable to hire. What’s more, there are different styles to choose from, all of which can be set up in just 10-15 minutes. Parties of all sizes can be catered to with a marquee, making it a preferred choice for weddings. A spectacular scene is guaranteed with a flexible venue of this kind, so why not pay for marquee hire for your next bash?
Pagodas
Pagodas, which are also known as Chinese hat marquees, are designed with a single peak. Their attractive appearance makes them a top choice for festivals and focal entrances. Sizes can vary, depending on who you hire the marquee from. However, they tend to start at 3m x 3m. Trade stands, exhibitions and parties can be hosted inside an event marquee like this. Should you wish to add visual appeal, ask the event hire company if they can set up a free standing pagoda with solid glass windows, flooring, carpeting and lighting.
Frame Marquee
Another type of marquee to consider for your next event is a frame marquee. Unlike a pagoda, it has an aluminium frame. Suitable for use in all weather conditions, a frame marquee is a modern choice and is sometimes compared to a pole peg marquee, which is a traditional choice. The fact that they are so sturdy makes them popular in windy environments. Frames are designed in a wide range of sizes and even if you don’t have a lot of room to work with, you need not worry. This is because frame marquees are not held in place with guy ropes.
Optional Extras
When you feel confident that you have chosen a marquee to suit your party needs, you can take a look at the optional extras on offer from an event hire company. These extras will usually include lighting, such as strobe lighting or LED lighting, audio equipment and air conditioning. You could also ease the party hosting process by asking the event specialists if they can provide catering services too. After all, the way to most people’s hearts is usually through their stomachs!
