Questions To Ask Your Wedding Marquee Supplier

Questions for your wedding marquee supplier: site suitability, layout, installation, extras, power, delivery and what the quote includes.

A useful conversation with a wedding marquee supplier ends with a clear hire list and agreed responsibilities. Take these questions to Grafton Hire along with your date, site address and approximate guest count.

Which marquee will fit this site?

Ask about the ground surface, available area, vehicle access and space around the structure. The Hampton and Electron are among the peg-and-pole options in the Grafton Hire range; those styles are not for paved or concrete areas. Ask the crew to assess a free-standing option where appropriate rather than choosing by appearance alone.

What needs to fit inside?

Explain whether you need dining tables, a dance floor, a bar, a band or a buffet. Ask for layout advice for that combination. A guest-count estimate is not a substitute for checking the full layout and site.

What exactly is in the quote?

Ask for the marquee, walls, flooring, delivery, installation and collection to be clear. Flooring is subject to availability. Check tables, chairs and tableware as separate items, along with toilets and catering equipment.

Who sets up each item?

Grafton Hire installs the marquee and dance floor. Tables, chairs and other furniture are delivered for you to set up; placement help is available on request. Confirm arrangements for lighting and sound instead of assuming full event styling is included.

What does the site need to provide?

Ask about power, access, delivery windows and the weather contingency. Give the team the property contact’s details when arrangements are agreed. Discuss changes to guest numbers or dates before assuming the original order can be expanded.

How is the booking confirmed?

Read the quote alongside the hire terms and clarify deposits, payment timing and any change or cancellation questions before booking. Get a quote or Call (02) 6643 2878.
