Whether you are booking the wedding hall or venue or hiring a marquee, all need enough planning and hard thinking to materialize the project in the right way.
Weddings are confusing and really busy affairs demanding lots of attention and detailed planning. And if one thing goes wrong, many things may go wrong in a series. A marquee for the wedding is one such serious factor, which must be planned beforehand with due care. Here are some of the tips you must know when you are hiring and managing things on your own for an upcoming wedding.
WEDDING MARQUEE
ESTIMATE THE HEAD COUNT AT FIRST
The best you can do to hire a good-sized marquee is to estimate the headcount of your invitees. If the headcount estimation of the maximum number of people at once in the tent is right, then you will know how big, medium, or small the size of the tent should be. Then you can check for designs and plan accordingly. Too big a marquee for smaller numbers of guests is a waste of money and resources. Moreover, a too-small marquee can be suffocating and make guests fight for room to be comfortable. Hence be calculative and plan accordingly.
BOOK YOUR WEDDING MARQUEE IN ADVANCE
When you are planning the wedding in the peak wedding season, and you know that wedding resource hiring companies and services would be getting too many bookings and inquiries, you must not take chances waiting for the eleventh hour.
Book your wedding marquee in advance, and never let the last moment crunch ruin your fun. Also, check with your wedding marquee hire service if they have the resources handy for the day and remember your booking.
LOOK FOR PACKAGES WITH THE MARQUEE
Sometimes, the wedding marquee comes with packages, when the services have other arrangements in combo with the tent. There may be a combination of the right decorations, the right lighting, right set of streamer or balloons, or the perfect match of Chinese lights, or the right floral decors.
Needless to say, the marquee establishes a theme for the wedding, and furniture inside it needs to be in sync with it for the best arrangements and style. If you believe your wedding hire service has the right matching furniture etc. with the tent, you may seriously consider the hiring team as well for the best match and sticking to the theme.
FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE ROOM ENOUGH FOR THE WEDDING MARQUEE
Sometimes you plan too big without visualizing the outcome. If you have a small space, and you hire a marquee which won’t fit in it, then what will you do at the last moment?
Won’t the party get ruined with the compromised odd setting? Well, to avoid such disarrangement you must see how much space you really have to set the marquee.
If you are unsure then call the hire services, and they will come and inspect the place to give you the right estimate and guide.
CHECK FOR INSURANCE
Public liability insurance of the supplier covering the marquee for damages done accidentally can really help you in times of crunches from paying extra and incurring heavy losses. Therefore, you should never forget to inquire whether your wedding marquee hiring company is insured or not.
When you watch these things and plan it in the right way, then things cannot go wrong, and you will surely be planning a smart wedding. Marquee hire is just one part of the arrangement. The same principles can be applied to many other wedding-related hires and arrangements for systematic planning and if not done properly can spell disaster.
