How much does it cost to hire a Marquee?
The best way to get an accurate price for what you require, including your delivery charge, is to complete our enquiry form.
What areas do you cover?
We are based on Anglesey North Wales, we cover the following areas - Anglesey, Snowdonia, Llyn Peninsula, Conwy Valley & Denbigh.
Access to the Marquee site is restricted, will this be a problem?
It shouldn’t be, as we can access most areas without a problem. The marquees we supply are highly portable. If, however, your site is very tricky to access, or more than 25m away from our point of access, then an additional charge will be applicable. If a site visit is required, then we can usually accommodate, please just ask.
How much space will I need?
It all depends on the number of guests, the need for a dance floor, bar or band and the space you have available. We are happy to make suggestions, or if needed, visit the site to make sure you get what you need for your event.
What surface is suitable for your marquees?
Grass, hard standing ground, but will require water weights if the ground cannot be drilled. An extra charge is made for water weights.
When can I expect delivery?
For Saturday events, delivery is usually on a Thursday or sometimes a Wednesday depending on size, with removal on a Monday or Tuesday AM (You will only be charged for a single day hire). However, for a small fee, arrangements can be made for an earlier delivery and/or pick up time. For the more remote areas, we may be slightly delayed in arrival.
How long will it take to set up the marquee?
Set up time will depend on the volume of items hired. As a guide, our smallest structure on its own will take approximately 30 minutes to erect, where as a full marquee set up for 200 people will take a full two days. On average, most events take about a day to set up.
What if the weather is very poor?
Unfortunately, the weather is out of our control. All of marquees are waterproof, as are the sidewalls. In heavy rain, matting may get wet, but it does dry quickly on well-drained grass surfaces.
Very high winds can be an issue (particularly on the exposed coasts of Anglesey, North Wales), and while we keep an eye on the forecast and take all necessary measures to ensure our marquees are safe, we cannot guarantee this in very high winds. Your safety is our utmost priority and we’ll be on site if we feel the winds will become dangerous.
Do we need matting?
It depends on your event. For weddings, we suggest you opt for matting as it looks much better – also high heels on grass can be awkward. We also supply wooden flooring and if you are having a dance floor, you must have matting. For catering tents, we suggest you do not have matting, unless your caterers require it.
Should we cut the grass?
We would suggest you do, but only if you can collect the grass. Avoid cutting the grass close to the day of the event, particularly if you are not opting for matting, as the grass likes to stick to the surface of the marquee.
Do you offer side walls?
Yes.
Can I decorate the marquee?
Yes, please see our added extras page. However, we ask that you refrain from fixing anything to the marquees themselves, or to the sidewall material.
More than one Marquee?
We can join marquees in many ways. We would usually talk through this on our site visit.
Do you provide linen, cutlery, generators, toilets?
Please see our extras page.
I would like a marquee however do not have a venue?
We are more than happy to provide you with a list of locations.
Will the marquee be warm enough?
Don’t worry we can keep you warm or cool, please see our extras page.
How do I get power to the marquee?
Power requirements will be discussed during the site visit. Please see our extras page.
Does the cost of the marquee include insurance?
The hirer is responsible for any loss or damage to the marquee once installation is complete until staff members arrive to dismantle. A damage waiver maybe available and can be discussed during the planning of your event.
Are the marquees suitable for winter events?
Absolutely!! Marquees are suitable throughout the year, the heating works a treat.
Can I change aspects of my booking after paying a deposit?
Yes, you have the option to alter your booking (dependent on stock availability) up to 14 days before your installation date.
