What size marquee do I need?

Lifestyle

When you have decided to hire a marquee for your event, figuring out what size you need can be confusing. Thankfully, there are lots of guides to help with factors to consider when making this decision.

The size of marquee will depend on what type of event you are holding. You will require different space for a seated meal as you would for a standing drinks reception, for example. A dance floor will require even more space.

How many guests are attending? This is essential information for determining how many square feet is ideal. Factor in the fact that sometimes more guests might arrive in the evening so you’ll want some spare room.

Are you serving food and if so, will it be a buffet or sit down meal? Remember to include space needed for any waiting staff to move around safely.

Will there be a dance floor or a band? You will definitely need to factor in the space required for the band to arrive and set up comfortably.
