Guide to a Marquee Wedding

Here are 9 reasons why marquees make such a wonderful venue for your wedding day, and why they’re becoming increasingly popular in Ireland for various celebrations and get togethers.

1. The marquee can be customized to fit your special day. A marquee is a blank canvas where you can develop your own theme from scratch! Of course, one of the main benefits of a marquee is that you can choose your themes and colours without having to coordinate with the décor already in place. You have a plethora of options, including contemporary, traditional, country, vintage, beach, and more. Be imaginative and have fun!

2. You can enjoy the views and let inside the great outdoors. Frame marquees are excellent because they can be ordered with clear windows (depending on the type), allowing you to continue enjoying the breathtaking scenery even while inside the marquee, shielding from the cold.

3. Less limitations on the number of visitors. Whether your event is formal or informal, large or small, a marquee is a versatile space that can be selected to fit your needs. Marquees come in various sizes and some can be expanded to accommodate up to 50% more guests.

4. You get to pick the catering for your event. Unlike in a traditional venue, you’re not bound to any on-site menu. Thus, you will be in for a treat because of a wide variety of event caterers who do a terrific job, utilizing local food suppliers and creating high-quality meals to suit all tastes and budgets. Make some inquiries and don’t be shy about seeking advice!

5. Location, location, location! A little bit of space is all you need for a marquee wedding! Many people hunt for a location by first visiting a special place that brings special memories for them, such as a vacation spot from their youth or a first date spot. There are also several well-known wedding locations that use marquees to host receptions, and they frequently also offer lodging, so that guests coming from further locations don’t need to face a long drive home after the reception.

6. Easier to stick to your spending limit. A marquee wedding allows you more options to stay within your budget, whether big or small. You get to select your location, marquee, decor, caterers, bar, and florist; there is a wide selection of vendors for every price range.

8. You’re not required to adhere to tradition. Marquees are excellent if you prefer to be independent. It’s entirely up to you if you want to deviate from convention and alter the typical wedding day flow.

9. The party doesn’t stop until you want it! Nobody wants the party to end too early, and at a marquee wedding you can choose the end time, so make sure you’ve planned some great music to keep everyone on the dance floor!
