Tips for hiring a marquee for your wedding

By Dan Haribo


For many people, having their wedding outdoors is a bit of a dream. Unfortunately though, it is not always the most practical choice, especially if you live in a country like the UK where the weather is unpredictable at best.

So, what is the solution? The way you can have an outdoor wedding but avoid the weather is by hiring a marquee, which you and your guests can escape to if the weather turns. As well as allowing you to enjoy the outdoors, a marquee can also accommodate more guests than if you were to hire a smaller indoor venue.

Ahead of actually hiring a wedding marquee, there are a couple of crucial points you need to bear in mind. For starters, what time of the year is your wedding? If it is in summer, you should know that June and July are the most popular months for outdoor weddings and most marquees will already be booked up.

You don't have to change the date of your wedding in order to get a good marquee for it, but you will need to act fast to secure your marquee for your dream date.

Location is another important point to consider. Not only do you need a picturesque backdrop for your marquee, but your chosen location also needs to meet health and safety guidelines. The ground needs to be level, and there can't be anything below or above to obstruct the marquee. You should also choose a local company to hire your marquee from, so if your wedding is in Aylesbury, make sure you have a team from a marquee hire Aylesbury company on hand to assist you.

The final thing to consider is the size of marquee you need. You should have a good idea of how many guests are attending your wedding, so you will be able to choose a large enough marquee.
