The following should be considered when positioning your marquee: 
Unlike pole tents our marquees can be erected on hard or soft surfaces
(weights should be used to anchor the marquees on hard surfaces).
Entrances are normally at the end of the marquee but window panels can be removed to create entrances on the side.
Having most of one side open to the garden will create an informal atmosphere so people can drift in and out of the marquee. If the weather forecast is bad try to have the marquee positioned as close to the house as possible (for access to toilets etc). If you are using catering staff try to allow them a separate access. If you have a large garden position the marquee across the lawn to create a 'courtyard' in front. If you have small trees, shrubs or flower beds consider incorporating them inside the marquee, they will add character and decoration but you will lose some floor space.
  Marquees are increasingly being used at times previously thought 'out of season', mainly due to improvements in heating and increased awareness of the capabilities of marquees. Having a marquee during the winter means there are a few more things to consider such as heat, wind/storm etc. Ask us for advise based on our experience!!
If you don't own enough furniture for your event (and let's face it who has 100 chairs stored in their garage?) then the usual option would be to hire them in. Depending on your location we can provide provide furniture for your event. We can also sell you furniture although you may get better deals direct yourself. If however you are hiring catering equipment you may find they can also supply furniture, in which case this would normally work out to be more economical. |
