What You Need To Know About Marquees

By Virginia Mendez


It seems like more and more people are using marquees in many different formats. It seems like the logical choice because they are made out of a material that is practical so that if the weather turns bad, you will be lucky enough to have some protection. These days the structures are strong and sturdy, so you can be sure that they are not going to fall apart in on big heap.

Make sure you have the appropriate tables to seat your guests, otherwise it is going to be cramped and you will start to feel stuffy, so this is very important. You should probably seat 10 people at each table, but it is also nice to have a couple of smaller tables in between to add some variety. These are some of the things to take into consideration.

To set the mood, you should have a dimmer and use this appropriately. For example, you could use this when the wedding couple have their first dance or when everyone is on the dance floor. This is also nice to be able to eat by because you may find that you will need it turned up so you can actually see what you are eating.

Otherwise, for a more formal do, you should think of something oval or square. It also depends on the theme that you are trying to create, so this is where planning is important. You can probably see that there is lots that goes into the planning of a wedding, so make sure that you do this well.

The lining of the marquee is not always that attractive and so to cover this up you can cover it with attractive materials, such as silk and linen. Use white and pastel colors, which complement each other. It always looks good if you use bows and fray the ends. Don't go over the top, but this is just something to add to the effect.

If this is a large event with more than 40 people, then you need to consider hiring more toilets. However, make sure you think of your guests because toilets make a lasting impression, especially on the fairer sex. Go to a company that deals with luxury units and they will definitely be impressed.

Marquees should also have a unique dance floor and you have to have this separately from where your guests are sitting and enjoying their meals. It can get quite rowdy. Most people want to draw the guests into the center of the dance floor so that everyone gets to mix and this will prevent people from staying in their chair all evening.
