Buying a Marquee for your Wedding Reception

Buying marquees to hold a wedding reception in can prove very cost effective these days. As you will soon discover that there are plenty of companies around who are able to provide and install the marquees you hire at your desired location. However there are certain things that need to be taken into consideration when you do decide to hire a marquee for such an important event as a wedding reception. Below we take a look at just what some of these factors are that you should be considering when looking to hire a marquee.

1. You need to look closely at the location where you wish the marquee to be situated. It is important that the site is flat and preferably can be accessed easily by the vehicles which will be bringing the marquee to the site.

Ideally it should be a site where no drains, cables or any other kinds of services can be found just below the surface of the site and which may get damaged when then marquee is being erected.

2. It is important that you spend as much time as you can actually looking at the various different types of marquees available for sale. As you will soon discover there are many different shapes and sizes to select from.

Certainly knowing what styles of marquees are available means that you can easily determine which styles won’t be suitable for your particular event so you are narrowing your search parameters.

3. Once you have chosen what style of marquee it is you want for your wedding reception to be held in you need to determine what size it is that is suitable. Certainly for a wedding reception you should be opting for one that has sufficient space that not only allows guests to sit down whilst eating but has sufficient room for them to move around and to dance.

Say for example you intend to invite 100 people to your wedding reception then you need a marquee that measures around 2700 square feet. So a marquee that measures 70 ft x 40ft should be more than ample.

4. When you have determined what shape and size of marquee you want your wedding reception to be held in now is the time to find out how much they cost to buy. However, it is important that you check out several different marquee sale companies rather than going with the first one you come across.

It is a good idea to arrange to receive several quotes so that you can compare them and see what each one has to offer you.

5. It is important that you find out exactly what you are liable for when it comes to marquee and all equipment within it. Ideally you should find out just what you will be responsible for after the tent has been erected and if as part of the charges you are provided with insurance.

Also you need to make yourself aware of any exclusions relating to the insurance that the company provides.

When it comes to buying marquees for say a wedding reception it is vital that you keep the above mentioned in mind. The more time you dedicate to actually carrying out research in to the buying of such equipment not only will you get exactly what you need but at the right price too.
