What Size Marquee Will I Need for My Event

When it comes to selecting the right size marquee for your event, there are a number of important factors to take into account.

In this blog, we will go through the biggest considerations to help you choose the best marquee for your event so it runs as smoothly.

Number of Guests

The number of people you’re expecting is the most important factor in determining the size of a marquee. You want to make sure there’s enough room for everyone to stand, sit, or move about comfortably. A rough rule of thumb is about 1 square metre of floor space per person for a standing event and 2-3 square metres per person for a seated event, such as a marquee wedding.

Type of Event

The type of event you’re hosting will also have a bearing on the size you need. For example, a formal sit-down dinner requires more space per person than a cocktail party. Think about the flow of the event and any special requirements, such as a dance floor or a stage. A corporate event marquee might need to accommodate a stage, presentation seating, or buffet lines.

Space available

The location where you’re hosting the event is crucial in determining the size of your marquee. Take into account the available space, including any obstacles such as trees, buildings, and other structures that may impact the size of the marquee. You’ll also need to think about access points and the space required for setting up and taking down the marquee.

Budget

Cost is always a factor, and marquee sizes naturally impact the price. While large marquees are generally more expensive, they offer the best value for high-capacity events. Don’t forget to budget for additional items like lighting, heating, and flooring. All of these essential extras can be hired directly from Spuds Marquee Hire to create a complete, professional venue.

Style

The style you choose can change the “feel” of the space. While some frames are more compact, clear marquees feel much more open and spacious because they allow the natural light and surroundings to join the party. Some marquees can also be left open on the sides, offering a breezy, less confined atmosphere.

Weather Conditions

The weather on the day of your event is also a factor to consider when choosing the size of your marquee. If you’re having an outdoor event, you want to make sure you have enough space to accommodate guests in case of inclement weather. This may mean opting for a larger marquee to make sure everyone stays dry and ensuring that the marquee type is suitable for your location.

Choosing the right size marquee for your event requires careful consideration of several factors, including the number of guests, type of event, space available, budget, style, and weather conditions.
