Will a marquee damage my garden or grass?

When pitching a marquee on grass it may be temporarily discoloured but it generally recovers quickly. It is best if grass is cut short beforehand to help installations and give a flatter surface for customers use within the marquee. Our work crew will do everything they can to keep the damage to a minimum. Generally our marquees are installed and in place for a weekend event for approximately 6 days. During this time the grass may become discoloured. If the marquee is in situ for more than 5/6 days then the grass is at more risk of becoming tarnished.

Please contact us if you have any other questions relating to marquees or marquee hire.

Could the marquee damage any cables or pipes running underneath the site?

Steel pegs are used to secure the marquee. These are installed into the ground and go approximately 3 foot into the ground. These steel pegs will damage underground services such as water pipes, drainage, electricity cables etc if struck. Please advise us of any underground services that are in the area so that we can avoid them.

Can marquees be used in winter?

The simple answer is yes you can use a marquee in winter. It is not as straightforward as a marquee in the summer months – but can certainly be achieved. Winter Weddings and Parties are becoming increasingly popular. This is because everything can still be achieved to create your dream wedding in winter. The festive period can add that extra something special to your big day. There are a couple of things that need to be considered if you are thinking about holding a winter wedding. First and foremost, in winter, heating is essential (unless you want to become and snowman yourself!) The heaters have to be used more and for longer in the winter than in the summer due to the obvious decrease in temperature. Doors will also be an added extra that will need to be included to keep all inside toasty warm, as you don’t want the table nearest the door getting a chill. At this time of year a wooden floor is a must have. Ground can often be damp and saturated and a wooden floor will eliminate this. A final thing to think about is the weather itself…snow! The main concern with snow is the build-up that can develop on the marquee roof. So long as the heating is maintained so that the roof is heat insulated then the snow load should melt off. If there is snow on the ground – we can still work with this providing it is a light covering; however anything more substantial and we would ask that you take responsibility of clearing the site. If you would like to talk to us about having a winter marquee, please give us a call.

Please contact us if you have any other questions relating to marquees or marquee hire.

What is the difference between a lined and an unlined marquee?

A lined marquee (whether it be our traditional canvas style or a clearspan frame marquee) is fitted with an Ivory pleated interior lining to the roof and walls. It is completed with a pelmet of your colour choice which goes around the perimeter of the marquee at eaves level. If window walls are added then a curtain will be installed where the windows walls are placed.

We can also install starlight linings with twinkle controls to create that little bit more atmosphere with the marquee.

An unlined marquee has no linings installed. If a Clearspan Marquee is your preference we would recommend installing a lining if you are after a high level of finish. If the clearspan marquee has no linings, then the aluminium framework throughout the roof will be visible. It is still possible to utilise an unlined clearspan marquee for an event if you do not mind the framework on show.

If however, your preferred style of marquee is the Traditional Canvas, then this is your blank canvas (literally!). One of the most popular looks for wedding marquees & party marquees over the last couple of years has been our unlined traditional canvas marquees. They offer a rustic, natural, “garden-party”, simplistic, country style look. They can be decorated with bunting, foliage, interior trinkets & natural lighting to compliment the theme. Ideal choice if you are after a simplistic natural rustic marquee. Unique in itself with its breathable canvas nature, we also have canvas walls available too if you wanted a complete canvas look.

Do I need to take out any insurance when hiring a marquee?

It is very sensible to take out extra protection in case the equipment we hire to you is damaged or stolen whilst under the duration of your hire. Your home insurance may cover the risks of marquee hire, and if so, you need to ensure it would cover the marquee between £40,000 – £80,000. We can give you a guideline price for your specific hire.

How cost efficient is it to have a marquee wedding?

To be able to use your own patio, garden or field is the most logical and economic choice. It offers you complete freedom of choice, requiring no planning permission; you have total freedom to create your own unique venue which is the most important element to any party.

What is marquee hire damage waiver?

This permits the marquee hirer to ensure that the individual hire is covered against the risks of damage, wind, fire, vandalism or theft. We offer damage waiver cover on all hires; this is 5% of the contract value. An excess of £100 will apply to any incident.
