Marquee Hire in London - A Quick Question

[susanmark]

Hello everyone,

I’m planning an outdoor event in London and was wondering if anyone has recommendations or experiences with marquee hire in London. I’ve heard a lot about different companies offering various styles, from elegant to casual, but I’m unsure which one to choose.

Are there any specific things I should consider when renting a marquee for my event? For example, are there any hidden costs or things I might overlook? I’d appreciate any advice or insights to help make my decision easier. Thanks in advance for your help!

Looking forward to your response.

Hi there,

I’ve recently hired a marquee in London for a wedding, and I’d be happy to share some tips. When it comes to marquee hire in London, here are a few things to consider:

1. Size & Capacity: Make sure you get a marquee that fits your guest list comfortably. Overestimate the space you need if you're unsure, as it’s always better to have extra room than be too cramped.
2. Weather Protection: London weather can be unpredictable, so ensure the marquee has proper flooring and sidewalls in case of rain or wind.
3. Hidden Costs: Be aware of extra costs such as delivery, set-up, and take-down charges. Some companies may also charge for things like lighting, heating, or additional accessories.
4. Insurance: It’s always a good idea to check if your hire company provides insurance, or if you need to arrange your own, especially if you’re hosting a larger event.
5. Reviews and References: Check reviews of the company and ask for references to ensure you’re choosing a reliable supplier.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your event!
