The Different Designs Of Wedding Marquees

Many people do not give a second thought as to the different designs of marquees.  However when it comes to choosing a marquee for a specific event, such as a wedding, there are actually a whole range of designs which can benefit different scenarios.  For example, a traditional marquee usually has beautiful swooping lines and is held up with two supporting poles on the inside which can be decorated accordingly. This gives a very romantic setting to the event and is commonly used for wedding receptions. 

A Chinese hat marquee is a little smaller and very often doesn’t have walls, meaning they can be accessed by guests very easily.  A large wedding reception may require a Chinese hat marquee to be placed in front of or to the side of the main marquee – this is particularly useful if the couple are having a feature such as an evening hog roast or a BBQ at a summer reception where guests may prefer to be outdoors.

Alternatively, framed marquees may be hired.  This means that the marquee is held up using an aluminium frame as opposed to the traditional centre poles and ropes.  The advantage to this method is that the guests have an unobstructed view of the inside of the marquee, which is fantastic for wedding speeches.  Optimum space can be used as no guy ropes are needed, which in effect means the framed marquee can be set up anywhere, including courtyards and even roof terraces.



Most wedding marquee hire Sussex firms, including ourselves, will utilise traditional marquees for customer events.  Marquees can come in a variety of sizes and should be hired according to the number of guests who will be invited to the event.  The marquees provide an enclosed space for the guests to protect them from the elements, yet the plastic windows within the walls means that as much natural light as possible can be allowed to infiltrate the marquee.  Only 5 feet of space will be needed around the perimeter of the marquee to allow for the guy ropes and pegs.
