Wedding Marquee Hire Grafton

We proudly offer a range of styles and options for you to choose from. Our larger marquees, complete with a 6m x 6m dance floor and space for a lounge area, offer you and your guests the freedom to party and relax all throughout the night. Complete the atmosphere perfectly with a range of options including a DJ, jukebox, LED lights, or a cocktail bar. 

If you're looking for an elegant dining set-up instead, you might furnish your space with a long dining table, decorations and chandeliers. Our team would love to explore all our options with you to help you plan the perfect celebration.

While indoor venues will impose a minimum number of attendees or will limit how many people you can hold within the space, with a marquee, you have the flexibility to invite a larger number of guests. 

The freedom to customise your marquee the way you want also means you can play around with legroom and your usage of the space. You also have the option to only cover a smaller area with a marquee or hire multiple marquees.

Our team takes care of setting up and taking down your marquee, leaving you free to simply have fun and focus on other things. And there's no need to panic if there's bad weather on the day, as our quality-assured, waterproof marquees are able to withstand any number of weather events, meaning not even rain will dampen your celebration or your quests.

Choosing the ideal location for a wedding marquee involves combining visual appeal with practical considerations. First, take into account the ground condition. It's important to ensure the ground is relatively flat. Accessibility is also a significant factor. You wouldn't want your suppliers to struggle, especially during the setup of the marquee.

Don't forget about size. It's not only about the marquee itself but also any additional features you're considering, such as catering tents or perhaps an outdoor lounge for your guests. Lastly, think of the surroundings. The true charm of a marquee is how seamlessly it can blend with nature.

When planning your marquee wedding, the marquee is undeniably the centrepiece, but it's complemented by a host of other elements. You can have elegant furniture that sets the ambience. Next, you’ll need to focus on lighting. Moreover, depending on the season, heaters might provide warmth for your guests or coolers could offer a refreshing break from the heat.

Let's not overlook the cuisine! A separate catering tent ensures the food is prepared seamlessly. And for remote locations, portable toilets become a necessary addition. Lastly, the décor brings everything together.

Peak wedding seasons can see high demand for marquees, especially popular styles or sizes. As a general rule, booking 9-12 months in advance can ensure you secure the marquee of your choice. However, if your date is flexible, you might find more availability.

Setting up a marquee depends on its size and complexity. For smaller marquees, a day might suffice, but larger or more intricate setups can require two to three days. Additionally, the complexity of the design, from multiple chambers to sophisticated roofing, can extend the setup time. The nature of the terrain, from soft grass to harder surfaces and the accessibility of the location further play their part in determining the duration.

While marquees offer flexibility, public spaces, such as beaches, parks and even private properties, might have specific guidelines or restrictions. These can be due to concerns related to environmental preservation, local regulations or the protection of heritage sites.

Before you finalise a location, always check with local councils or landowners to understand any potential challenges. Certain areas might require permits, which could include paperwork and associated fees. Being well-informed can save you from last-minute hassles and ensure your special day proceeds smoothly.

While certain venues provide power sources, others might require generators, especially in remote locations. LED lights, fairy lights and chandeliers can operate using standard power and generators. It's important to discuss power requirements with the marquee provider and other suppliers.

Absolutely! Whether you envision an elegant, rustic or contemporary theme, a marquee serves as a versatile canvas. Its flexibility makes it an ideal choice for any theme you prefer.
