From Setup to Take Down: What to Expect When You Hire a Marquee
Hiring a marquee is exciting—it instantly transforms any location into a unique event venue. But what happens from the moment you book to the moment the last peg comes out of the ground? At Zest Marquees, we make the process as smooth as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you hire a marquee with us.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
It all starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss:
- Your event type (wedding, party, corporate, etc.)
- The number of guests
- Location and ground conditions
- Accessories you may need (furniture, flooring, lighting, toilets, dance floors, etc.)
From there, we’ll recommend the perfect marquee size and layout.
Step 2: Site Visit
To ensure everything fits perfectly, our team will often carry out a site visit. We’ll check access, measure space, and assess the ground so there are no surprises on the big day.
Step 3: Planning & Booking
Once you’re happy, we’ll confirm the booking and finalise details. You’ll know exactly what’s included in your package, so there are no hidden extras.
Step 4: Setup & Installation
This is where the magic happens. Our friendly crew will arrive on time and take care of everything for you:
- Erecting the marquee
- Installing flooring, lighting, and linings
- Setting up furniture and any extras
To ensure everything runs smoothly, setup is typically completed 1–2 days before your event. This gives you plenty of time to make final preparations and enjoy the lead-up stress-free. Likewise, we usually collect everything 1–2 days after your event, giving you time to clear and wind down without feeling rushed. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed so you can watch your venue come to life with confidence.ming to life.
Step 5: The Big Day
When your guests arrive, the marquee is ready to impress. Whether it’s sparkling fairy lights for a wedding or a sleek, professional setup for a corporate event, everything is in place. And if you’ve hired extras like heaters or toilets, they’ll already be set up and working.
Step 6: Take Down & Collection
Once the event is over, we’ll return to dismantle the marquee and collect all equipment. Quick, efficient, and hassle-free—leaving your space just as we found it.
✅ The verdict: With Zest Marquees, you don’t just hire a marquee—you get a stress-free experience from setup to take down. We take care of the details so you can focus on enjoying your event.
