Planning Marquee Hire Events

There are many things to consider when organising and planning a marquee hire event, such as sending invites, marketing and promotion, location hire for the marquee itself, caterers, seating and carpeting, flower arrangers and audio and lighting equipment. But the main thing to be aware of is to be prepared to book the marquee hire some months before the date of the actual event itself.

This is mainly because of the high demand for marquees, particularly in the warmer months of the year, typically early May through to late September. With so many people organising weddings, sporting calendar events, garden parties and corporate events in the summer months, you may find that you have to plan to book as early as the year before to avoid disappointment.

 
Marquee Hire Event Location

For those businesses which have ample space within their grounds or indeed a large car-park, choosing where to erect the marquee is less of a problem. But for those smaller companies without adequate space for a marquee on their premises, finding a marquee hire venue is more time consuming and more importantly costly.

If you are a business which is hosting a corporate hospitality event or a promotional event for a new product line then, ideally you want the location of the corporate marquee to be as close to your business as possible.

There are many reasons for this, most notably to keep costs down from transporting members of staff, products, promotional displays and audio/video equipment to and from the marquee hire event venue.

Also if you wish to show potential investors around your company premises after or during the course of the corporate event, then the closer your marquee event can be to your business or factory, the better.
 

In addition, you may find that guests to a corporate event tend to be impressed some what, if you as a company can organise and host a corporate event on-site themselves. This is vital to encouraging potential new interest in your company from guests and helps create a good image of your organisation.

A company which organises its own corporate events and marquee hire and can host events on-site, is seen as a modern, well organised and forward thinking. This in turn may help you stand out from the crowd, beating competitors for investment, having the edge is vital in business nowadays.
