Event tents and marquees for weddings and corporate events

The floor area you need depends on how guests use the space. As a rough planning guide, allow more room for a seated dinner than for a standing reception, and add area on top for a dance floor, bar, stage or catering.

On uneven or soft ground a raised, levelled floor makes a marquee feel like a building rather than a field. We can supply cassette flooring, carpet or a hard deck, and level over slopes and grass.

A solid floor also protects the ground beneath and keeps furniture and heels stable through the evening.

The right lighting sets the mood: warm ambient light, chandeliers, uplighting on the walls or festoon along the eaves. We can rig the fixings so cabling stays hidden.

Heaters keep an evening event comfortable in cooler seasons, and for warm-weather events good ventilation and openable walls keep the interior fresh.

Walls can be solid for privacy and weather, clear PVC to keep a view, or glazed with proper windows for a more finished look. A dressed entrance or a linking corridor between structures lifts the whole arrival experience.

Because the sides are modular you can open the marquee up on a fine day and close it down if the weather turns.

An aluminium-frame marquee and a folding pop-up gazebo solve different problems. The frame marquee is engineered for larger spans, longer occupation and a premium finish; the pop-up is for speed and portability at a smaller scale.

For a wedding or a multi-day corporate event, the frame marquee is almost always the right structure. For a market stall or a promo stand, a pop-up is quicker and cheaper.
