What You Need to Know Before Opting for Marquee Wedding
Unconventional is the go-to theme for special occasions like weddings, and nothing can add more uniqueness and fashion and provide the guests with a great experience than a marquee wedding.
Marquee weddings are getting very popular every passing day and many couples are choosing this over venue weddings due to several factors. The one primary factor is of course, the unique experience that it provides. However, a successful wedding marquee doesn’t come without its own downsides, or rather the need of you to be prepared for a marquee wedding from your side.
So, here are the facts and what you need to know about marquee weddings.
Costs of Marquee Weddings
The reason why large-scale marquee weddings are much more difficult and take longer is that more components and suppliers are needed to organize the day. People usually don’t think about things such as additional rental equipment, catering equipment, power supplies, access to the venue, preparation for the wedding, etc. All these costs add up to quite a lot and are usually not taken into account when deciding on a marquee wedding.
Venues often offer all-inclusive packages, and you don’t need to rent catering tents for diners or organize bar areas for bar staff. The list continues.
Choosing the Location for Marquee Wedding
Usually, the first choice of location for couples is definitely the one most impressive. However, from the point of view of convenience, the most practical choice would be to opt for the one which has provisions for vehicle/truck passages, power passages, water passages, etc.
These are all the components needed for marquee wedding preparation, preparation, and daytime, and they will help make everything go as smoothly as possible, so as to avoid any unnecessary hassles later on, you need to choose the ideal location.
The ideal location is a completely flat area with enough space to accommodate the size of your canopy, toilet/bathroom space, water and electricity accessibility, and you can easily reach it and offer enough space for guests, staff.
Essentials of Marquee Weddings
The marquee is the essence of the event. Even if you host an outdoor wedding, it is always a must. Outdoor weddings are amazing and beautiful, but only if the weather is absolutely perfect. Rain and wind can ruin the day if it is outdoors. Wind is more destructive than rain: the core does not stay on the table, things fall, etc.
It is a very wise choice to shield these elements as much as possible in bad weather. You need to gather all the absolute items you can find in one place. The main thing is obviously the furniture, chairs, tables, bar tables, stools, lounges, bars-the list will change according to how far you want to go.
Lighting is also an important aspect of marquee weddings. Obviously, the marquee needs lighting, but it also needs lighting in addition to the marquee. Some examples of additional lighting are; lighting around outdoor snack areas, lighting leading to toilets, lighting leading to parking lots or guest drop-off/pick-up points, and lighting in dining tents.
Unless they use the kitchen in a nearby building, you will need to rent a tent for catering to prepare and cook food. It is not necessary to rent an apartment near a marquee, but it is a good choice in case the bad weather makes some guests wet.
In addition, you also need to provide guests with glassware, cutlery, cutlery, tablecloths, napkins, kettles, etc. Catering companies sometimes provide these items within their services, so be sure to enquire.
Even if you are using the power supply of a nearby building or shed, it is best to have a backup power supply. Generators are worthwhile, especially if you want to run a lot of things that consume a lot of electricity, such as cold storage rooms, band equipment, a lot of lighting equipment and power tools, then these generators are worth their gold.
There are a lot of different wedding marquee styles that you can choose from. So, that is another factor that you need to keep in mind and choose according to the rest of your preparation.
