More and more people are choosing to hire a marquee for
their event. Whether they are organising
a wedding, a family party, a corporate event or perhaps a summer fete, then
ensuring they stay within the set budget is often crucial.
Marquee hire Surrey prices will vary according to the size
of the marquee. Generally speaking,
events which require guests to be seated will require 15 square feet per person
and events where guests will be mingling will require just 8 square feet per
person. Of course, the purpose of the
marquee will also affect which size would be most suitable, as a marquee which
will be used to house stalls for a summer fete will require lots of room for
large numbers of guests to be able to move around comfortably.
When looking to hire a marquee, it’s important to establish
the approximate costs before deciding which package would be most suitable. Some packages will include the hire of the
appropriate flooring, heating and lighting, whereas other packages will charge
those as additional items. Specially
designed dance floors can also be hired if needed, and the cost of this will
again depend on the size of the marquee.
Most marquee hire Surrey prices will include the setting up
and then dismantling of the marquee. For
smaller marquees this will take less than a day, however larger marquees may
take a day or two longer. Constructing
marquees takes skill and knowledge and therefore needs to be carried out by
professionals who can ensure they are put up safely. Many marquee hire companies will put up the
marquee a few days before the event if possible, to allow for time to decorate
the interior.
Marquees can vary hugely in price, with some costing just
£400 whereas others can cost thousands of pounds. The average cost of a marquee will cost
between £20 and £30 per guest, so multiplying that figure by the number of
guests will give you an approximate guide as to the cost of the marquee hire.
