Trafalgar Marquees will make your dreams come true. Have you ever longed for a fairy tale wedding … is this something that dreams are made of or can your dreams become reality?

With Marquee Hire your dream wedding can become a reality, they have assisted hundreds of people over the years from weddings, corporate events, festivals etc.

It is possible to have a fairy tale wedding in the middle of winter or a winter wonderland wedding in the middle of summer or how about a traditional wedding?  The flexibility of hiring a marquee allows you to have the freedom to have exactly what you would like. The décor and huge selections of themed marquees make this possible. Marquee Hire will transform any marquee into the dream venue.

Many people would have seen their press coverage over the years from big screen to small screen, online to offline. They have grown in experience covering some famous events so with Marquee Hire’s many years in the marquee industry have made them leading experts in Marquee Hire.

We know that many people can think of marquees as just for summer weddings, put up and used for a weekend, a short-term solution for a one-off event. However, increasingly more of our business is coming from long-term Marquee Hire, and you may be surprised at the type of events bespoke marquees are used for.

One of our long-term clients is The Royal Society and for the last few years, we have provided a marquee for their Summer Science Exhibition. For those of you unfamiliar with The Royal Society, it is situated in Carlton Terrace overlooking The Mall and is a building steeped in history. It is a beautiful space inside but is not big enough to sustain a long exhibition. That is where Trafalgar and JF Marquees stepped in to help.

We erected a 9 x 48-metre marquee on Carlton Terrace, which afforded great views of The Mall for all attendees. It also meant that the exhibition would not be affected if the Great British Summer Weather did its’ worst. In addition to the structure of the marquee, we provided chairs, tables, marquee lining and lighting in the form of chandeliers.

As always, access and egress for a Central London installation, was interesting, especially as the Tour of Britain was taking place at the same time. But, with precise planning, we pulled off even the most challenging of set ups and takedowns.

Another long-term client is Chessington Garden Centre.  With this project, we get to contribute to the magic of Christmas by providing a marquee to host their Christmas Grotto. The Garden Centre itself is using space to its’ capacity at Christmas time, selling Christmas trees and decorations, so we provide a marquee on their patio area that keeps Father Christmas and all his visitors warm and dry.

As well as the marquee, Marquee Hire also provided heating and lighting and roof overlay in festive colours. The versatility of a marquee space also means the client can update and create the theme they want as they are literally starting with a blank canvas. Families travel for miles to visit the Chessington Garden Centre Christmas Experience and we are proud to contribute to such a successful event.

Our experience of co-ordinating large long-term hires means that we have several regular clients who use us year after year. It means a lot to us that they trust us to deliver a high-quality service for their flagship events, and we always go the extra mile to ensure that their specific requirements are met.  Our experience of complex builds with sometimes limited access means that even the most unusual of settings can transform a seemingly unusable space into the perfect venue.

If you have a long-term event or a themed marquee hire function to plan, contact us for a solution that makes the event not only workable but memorable too.

WONDERFUL MARQUEES FOR WEDDINGS, PARTIES & OCCASIONS

Planning your wedding and need ideas for the perfect wedding theme and venue. With Marquee Hire Sussex, the professionals with years of experience you won’t go wrong. They offer excellent honest advice and can help make your dream a reality.

Here are some reasons why hiring a marquee from marquee hire Surrey is a great idea for a perfect wedding:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Below is an article that Marquee Hire have written to help their clients answer some questions

ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE EVER HAD ABOUT MARQUEES BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK!

When you are hiring a marquee, it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming knowing the different options you could take.  At Marquee Hire we try to make the decision making as painless as possible with tools like our marquee price calculator, but we know there are lots of myths associated with marquees which we aim to debunk now!

Are marquees only good for summer events?

We are pleased to say that marquees are great for events all year round and can make a magical addition to any occasion, whatever the time of year.  In cooler weather we use thermostatically controlled heaters that are usually sited outside the tent, and with a great range of marquee lighting we can brighten up even the darkest of days and turn your event into a real bright spot.

Are marquees just used for weddings?

Whilst we provide marquees for many weddings throughout the year, this is just one part of the business.  Corporate events, topping out ceremonies, parties large and small, bar and bat mitzvahs, temporary additional space and festivals are just some of the events we have successfully provided marquees for.  So there really are no limitations in terms of the events we can cater for.

Are marquees only for large events?

Whilst we happily provide a whole range of marquees for larger events, we are also happy to work with clients with smaller requirements.  Maybe you just need a bit more space at home for a party, or a temporary structure while building work is going on, we certainly believe in the motto “no job too large or too small.”

How can you make a marquee different for our event?

The range of drapes, lighting, flooring, configurations that we can provide with our marquees is truly extensive.  We pride ourselves on making your event unique and love discussing ideas to make your event special to you.

Are marquees only appropriate for short term hires?

We have helped many clients who have needed marquees for an extended period of time or for a series of events. All of our marquees are fully staked and weighted and completely fire resistant and weatherproof, making them a great long term solution for festivals, holiday events and exhibitions.

We’ve had some great news at Trafalgar and JF Marquees in the last few weeks.  Our Managing Director, James Morris, has been nominated as Young Director of the Year at the IoD (Institute of Directors) awards. Firstly, this means we get to attend a glitzy awards ceremony (well we’ve got to get our priorities straight!), but becoming a finalist in such prestigious awards means a whole heap of other positive things for our business too.

Recognition

With the IoD awards there was a stringent application process which included a written entry and an interview.  To become a finalist is great recognition for a job well done by our Managing Director, James and shows that the company is on the right track.

Publicity

Well you are reading this blog, aren’t you? Becoming an awards finalist is a great good news story for us to share among our clients, suppliers and associates, and we’ve already had some lovely messages of congratulations.  We think it also increases our client’s confidence that they have made a great choice in choosing us for their marquee requirements.

Motivation

The announcement of James’ nomination was a great morale boost in the office and has really spurred us on to make 2017 a fantastic year at Trafalgar and JF Marquees.  Knowing that your work is recognised as some of the best by an organisation like the IoD is a great accolade.

Reflection

Taking part in any awards nomination process is a great way of reflecting on how far your business has come and where you want it to go next.  It has helped us formulate ongoing plans for the business and reflect on some of the most positive things in our business, as a whole.

Celebrate

It is very easy to forget to celebrate the wins in our businesses, so an occasion like this is a great opportunity to recognise that.  All that’s left to do now is make sure that tux is dry cleaned before the finals on the 17^th May!

Corporate Marquee Hire in London Case Study.

Marquee Hire Hyatt Regency, Portman Square, London.

We were approached by a prestigious London hotel that needed to accommodate a large number of guests for an opening party for a conference.

Notwithstanding that, due to the location of the site, in central London, restrictions and build times were tight with a number of constraints surrounding the build and de-rig.

Our success in delivering highly successful corporate events meant we were well placed to consult and assist from concept to delivery.

Due to the relaxed tone of the event, our team suggested using a number of marquees to maximise the use of the garden and enhance the feel of the event. In addition we also used a range of atmospheric lighting throughout the marquees Layout of main marquee, with soft seating and bar area.

The final layout comprised of a reception marquee, main marquee with soft seating and bar, with a central area surrounded with a number of Chinese hats used as food stations providing a variety of fabulous food and a small marquee for a band and speeches.

Trafalgar also looked after the supply of a number of services such as providing luxury loos, provision of power and distribution for the event, ensuring the evening was a success.

We pride ourselves having the largest marquee hire in West Sussex selection in the UK supplying a large section of the UK especially through the Surrey, South of London including Marquee Hire East Sussex.
