Marquee EventHire
The marquee has become synonymous with the modern wedding. Barely a weekend or bank holiday goes by without most people spotting those white minarets dotting the stately grounds and gardens of the Norfolk countryside. And it’s not just weddings. People organising all manner of events hire marquees. They are used to house temporary restaurants at big events such as race days and literary festivals. They regularly play host to corporate events, talks and launches. And where would the village fete be without the protection they offer from all manner of weather? But why is Norfolk marquee hire now such big business? What are the reasons for its lasting appeal?
A lot of it is due to the almost infinite variety of options that marquee event hire can offer. As well as the traditional square design, Norfolk marquee hire companies can offer hexagonal and triangular designs. Different sections of differing shapes and sizes can be joined together to create layouts as complex or as simple as you want. A special guttering system ensures water does not pool and leak through at the joins during heavy rain.
The event hire of marquees also provides a way in which you can create extra space for your wedding, show or promotion without damaging the ground on which they are placed. For this reason, in Norfolk marquee hire is popular with those holding events at stately homes. The houses’ owners wouldn’t be too impressed if your wedding marquee left ruts and divots all over their carefully maintained grass. The lightweight structure of the marquees means they do not sink into the ground like other options such as portacabins and caravans.
We all know how temperamental the British climate can be, but marquees can be adjusted to suit sun, rain or snow. If it’s warm and sunny, a concealed zip on each of the wall sections can be undone and the walls pulled back similar to curtains to open up the space and allow the sun and air in. If, on the other hand, the heavens open, then the walls can quickly and easily be closed again and zipped up, providing a warm, comfortable interior in which you and your guests can enjoy your event.
The inside can be tailored to match any event for which they are hired. All marquees can be lined with materials available in a range of colours to match the colour scheme of whatever occasion for which you may be hiring it. If it is a wedding, the swags can be chosen to fit with the colour scheme of the bride’s bouquet, flowers, groom’s wardrobe, and so on. Should it be a corporate launch or event, the interior decor can mirror your corporate colours.
A dance floor can also be installed, should you want somewhere for your guests to let off steam later on. The floor is made of discrete panels which lock together thanks to aluminium edging. The floor is both quick and easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as being completely safe for guests to move and jump about on. Floors are available in both the traditional wood panel effect, and black and white chequer board.
Whether you are planning a wedding, corporate launch or book festival in Norfolk, marquee hire offers diverse choices for layout, design and amenities. Their lightweight construction also means they are suitable for almost any setting. Let a Norfolk marquee hire company create the perfect setting for your perfect day.
