Hiring a wedding marquee is a great solution to holding your wedding in your back garden, or in the grounds of a venue with a low capacity. If you\u2019re considering hiring a wedding marquee for your wedding reception, check out our pros and cons.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why hiring a wedding marquee is a great idea!<\/p>\n
You can hire a marquee based on the ideal number of guests you want to invite instead of having to limit your guest list to fit in with the limited space of your venue. Wedding marquees come in many different sizes, and as long as you can fit it in your garden, you can hire whatever size you need.<\/p>\n
With a wedding marquee you won\u2019t be restricted by the existing decor or style of your wedding venue, and can create your own scheme using lighting and coloured or patterned drapes, producing the venue you have always dreamt of. You will have a blank canvas for your wedding theme and decorations which is one of the best reasons to hire a wedding marquee.<\/p>\n
Assuming you are using your own garden and don’t have to hire a garden or park, hiring a wedding marquee should work out cheaper than reception venue hire unless you insist on having the latest mod cons. You should be able to save some money on food and alcohol too as you won’t have to use the services of a catering company provided by a venue.<\/p>\n
A marquee allows plenty of flexibility; for example you can take off the sides if the weather is dry and sunny, or lay down flooring if it rains the night before the wedding. You can also section off the dance floor and decorate it differently to the rest of the marquee to create a sense of drama when the band starts to play and the curtains are pulled back. It’s not difficult to change the layout of a marquee, you can simply add screens or curtains, so you can choose whether you want a separate area for your drinks and food.<\/p>\n
