A venue hands you a room and a set of rules. A marquee hands you a site and a blank canvas. If you are deciding between the two, here are the five reasons couples across the Clarence Valley keep choosing the marquee.
1. You choose the venue
A marquee goes where you want the wedding to be: the family farm, a riverbank, a beach reserve or the backyard you grew up in. You are not tied to a venue’s layout, decor or house rules, and the place itself becomes part of the story. Whether you want a big, formal reception or a small, close gathering, the marquee scales to suit. Our range runs from a 3.6 m pop-up to a 21 m peg-and-pole.
2. You style it your way
Inside a marquee, everything is yours to decide.
- Theme. Rustic, coastal, garden or formal, the white top takes any of them.
- Decor. Festoon lights along the roof line, wine barrels, peacock chairs. The furniture and tableware page has the pieces, the sound and lighting page has the lights.
3. Room for everyone
A marquee fits the guest list rather than the other way round.
Space for the whole list
Pick the size to suit the head count, then add room for a dance floor, a bar and a band. If the list grows, the marquee can too.
Flow that works
Ceremony, drinks, dinner and dancing can each have their own zone, so the day moves naturally from one to the next without shuffling guests between rooms.
4. An atmosphere you cannot buy indoors
Nothing in a function room matches a marquee at dusk with the sides open to the view and the festoons coming on. The site gives you the backdrop for the photos, and the marquee gives you a warm, close space once the sun goes down. Guests feel like they are somewhere, not just at a venue.
5. Privacy and exclusivity
Some venues run more than one event at a time. A marquee wedding is only ever about you. There is no other party through the wall and no strangers wandering through the car park, just the people you invited, for as long as you want to stay.
Not only for weddings
The same reasons hold for milestone birthdays, engagement parties, corporate functions, community events and school fetes. A marquee gives you cover, space and a look to suit the occasion, on the site you choose.
