Find the Right Marquee Hire in Byron Bay

Getting Party Tent Hire Right

A marquee lets you hold a reception almost anywhere in Byron Bay: on a farm lawn near Bangalow, in a backyard at Lennox Head, or on a paddock with views to the coast. It also gives you a firm answer to the question every outdoor host faces here, which is what happens if a storm comes through.

Marquee styles on offer:

  • Clear-roof marquees that show off the stars and the trees
  • Silk-lined marquees with draped ceilings for a formal dinner
  • Sailcloth tents with peaked roofs and a softer, relaxed look
  • Structured frame marquees for very large guest lists
  • Pagodas and quick shades for a bar, a dessert table or a small gathering

Widths run from about 3 m up to 15 m, enough to seat a small family lunch or a reception of several hundred. Most suppliers also hire the furniture and lighting and AV to fit it out, and cover all four Byron Bay regions.

Choosing the size

  • Allow more floor area for a seated dinner than for a cocktail party
  • Add room for a dance floor, a band or DJ, a bar and a cake table
  • Ask the hire firm for a floor plan once you know your guest count
  • A free site inspection helps confirm the marquee fits the ground you have

Getting the site ready

  • Choose level ground and check for underground pipes or cables before pegs go in
  • Ask whether the marquee can be weighted instead of pegged on hard surfaces
  • Make sure delivery trucks can reach the spot after rain
  • Plan power, toilets and lighting along with the tent itself

Weather and timing

  • Book sides or walls for wind and rain, even if you plan to keep them rolled up
  • Clear roofs can get warm on a sunny summer afternoon, so plan shade or fans
  • Spring and autumn weekends book out early with weddings, so reserve the marquee with your date

Answers to Common Party Tent Hire Questions

How big a marquee do I need for a Byron Bay wedding?

It depends on guest numbers and layout. Marquees here run from about 3 m to 15 m wide and seat from ten to around 400 guests.

Can I put a marquee on a farm in the Byron Hinterland?

Yes, as long as the ground is level and trucks can reach it. Ask for a site inspection before you book.

What happens to a Byron marquee in a summer storm?

Hire firms install walls that can be closed if the weather turns. Ask how the marquee is secured and how they handle severe wind warnings.

Does marquee hire around Byron include set-up?

Delivery, set-up and pack-down are available. Confirm the times so the crew is finished before your stylist arrives.

Is a clear marquee a good choice for a Byron Bay night reception?

It shows off the night sky and trees well, but add fans or shade for a hot afternoon and lighting for after dark.

Can I hire furniture and flooring with my Byron marquee?

Yes, most hire firms supply tables, chairs, linen and lighting too, which keeps one crew in charge of the whole fit-out.
