THE EVENT

Farnborough Hill School’s 125th Anniversary Winter Ball – seated dinner for 200.

THE CHALLENGE

The event was to take place in their recently built school sports hall. This presented a number of issues including tight access, weight loading need to be spread in order to protect the flooring and a large build in tight space conditions. The client also requested internal dressing of the main reception entrance to the sports hall and corridors to the loo area.

THE SOLUTION

A 12m x 27m main structure, a walkway reception area and a 6m x 12m catering facility. Internally we supplied hardwood flooring, carpet, dancefloor, furniture, staging forliveband and all associated power requirements. The lighting was a mix of chandeliers,uplightersand black starlight roof linings. Theschoolscolours of lilac and green were also suppliedforthe dressing of the marquee.

THE EVENT

Food with A View’ and Marvellous Mole Valley (Surrey) Celebrations.

THE CHALLENGE

To provide a marquee structure and services on Donkey Green atop of Box Hill, a National Trust area and one of scientific interest.

THE SOLUTION

A 9x18m (30x60ft) clearspan frame marquee for visitors and exhibitors, with staging for presentations and for the Chairman of Mole Valley to address the visitors. In addition we supplied a mixture of furniture, in the way of 6ft long trestle tables, 5ft round tables and 4ft round tables with chairs for visitors to sit at. We also provided a luxury loo unit adjacent to the marquee.

To ensure that impact on the ground was limited to the nature of the space, we used our track way to protect the ground, in addition we used two of our land rovers and trailers to transport the equipment to avoid using heavy Lorries.

WHAT DID THE CLIENT SAY?

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for providing exceptional service, on what was an exceptionally awful weekend. I have had back some really positive things about the events that could not have taken place without your assistance”.

Hire any marquee from Marquee Hires extensive range

January 12th, 2015 No comments

It might not seem like it when there is frost on the ground and you can see your breath when standing by the back door, but winter is the perfect time to purchase a marquee for your outdoor events with one of Marquee Hire extensive range of winter marquee and Pop up Marquees for sale.

Here are our five reasons why:

1)      You’ll have plenty of time – if you have ever organised an event before, no matter what the size or nature of the ‘do’ you’ll probably have felt pushed for time at some point.  Organising venues, guest lists, catering, furniture and entertainment (to name but a few tasks) is very time consuming, so by getting started now ready for your 2015 spring, summer or autumn events you will give yourself the gift of time.

2)      You’ll get a better choice – by booking your events early it stands to reason that you will have more choice.  Availability for any event venue or service is generally better when booking in advance.  If you are choosing a marquee for your venue, you’ll have an improved choice of size and style on your given date if you book now rather than waiting until nearer the time.

3)      You can spread the cost of your event – when organising a family party or wedding it will help to ease the burden if you can spread the cost over several months.   By booking your venue now and getting the deposit or full amount paid, you’ll then have plenty of time to replenish your funds ready for the additional costs of catering and entertainment.

4)      You’ll get a better turnout – as soon as you have booked your venue you can start inviting your guests.  The earlier you get your invites out, the better your turnout should be as people aren’t generally booked up for events that far in advance.

5)      You’ll have something to look forward to – Let’s face it as soon as Christmas and New Year are over everything goes a bit flat.  There’s a good two months of winter still to struggle through and no time off work for a while, so what else is there to look forward to?  If you have booked your 2015 events early you’ll have a date in the calendar to countdown to.

WEDDING MARQUEE HIRE

Most of us remember the idyllic summer wedding complete with marquee and the simple joys of drinking champagne outside in the sun, before being gently ushered into the pleasant shade of the marquee for a relaxed Wedding reception. The Marquee makes the wedding or party an occasion, people see a marquee and they hear the music and begin getting into the party mood, meeting friends and chatting to old acquaintances.

Children love playing on the lawn, dancers love to cool off by popping outside and the brides have the perfect fairy tale wedding whilst friends and family finish off the celebrations in the marquee after sending the happy couple off.

Freedom and flexibility Hiring a marquee for a wedding or event gives you the flexibility in terms of number of guests and allows a free range in terms of themes or decorations. If the bride wants cream then the marquee is cream, if the party has an African theme etc., the marquee offers the flexibility to be all things for all parties, much more so than the interior of a hotel.

PARTY PLANNING SERVICE

Party, party! Make your party special with starcloth roof in black or white (to create that winter look) Our specialist team of theme designers have had expertise in party planning service since 1991 when we started and have created such themes as a James Bond night and a Chinese dragon party.
