About Adelaide Marquees and Events
Adelaide Marquees and Events is owned and run by JoJo and Allira, who grew up in the south of Adelaide – one in the hills, one by the beach. A shared love of music, dancing and bringing people together led them to buy their first marquees, set up outdoor events and hire the structures to others. The Nordic tipis pair a traditional shape with modern materials: weatherproof canvas stretched over Scandinavian timber frames. A naked tipi frame measures 10.3 x 10.3 m, and a single tipi seats about 60 guests or holds 100 standing. The double tipi covers 10.3 x 20.4 m with the sides down and seats around 120. Raising the sides widens the footprint to 13 m across. Stretch marquees are the other option, and their elastic fabric can be pulled into shapes that suit uneven paddocks, gardens and sand. Sizes run from 6 x 8 m (30 seated for dinner, 50 standing) to 9 x 12 m (60 seated) and 10 x 20 m (100 seated or 150 standing). The crew looks after set-up and take-down, and the owners also run community events and offer planning help for parties from start to finish. Clients have used the structures for weddings on private property, backyard celebrations and festivals with crowds of several hundred.

Frequently asked questions
How many guests fit in an Adelaide Marquees tipi?
A single tipi seats about 60 guests or holds around 100 standing. The double tipi seats about 120. Raising the sides increases the footprint from 10.3 m to 13 m across, giving more room around the edges.
What sizes of stretch marquee are available?
Three sizes are listed: 6 x 8 m for about 30 seated diners, 9 x 12 m for about 60 seated, and 10 x 20 m for about 100 seated or 150 standing guests. Cinema-style seating fits roughly twice the dinner number.
Do they set up and pack down the marquee?
Yes. The Adelaide Marquees team installs the tipi or stretch marquee before the event and comes back to take it down afterwards, so hosts do not need to handle the poles, canvas or anchoring.
Can a stretch marquee go on uneven ground or sand?
Stretch fabric is flexible and can be pulled into different shapes to suit a site, which is why these marquees are used on paddocks, gardens and sandy festival grounds where a rigid frame is harder to place.
Can they help with more than the marquee?
The owners run their own community events and offer help planning a party from beginning to end, including the music side, so ask about what you need beyond the structure when you request a quote.
