Getting Party Tent Hire Right

A marquee is often what makes an outdoor event possible in the tropics. It gives shade on a hot afternoon, cover when a wet-season storm rolls through and a defined space for tables, a bar and a dance floor.

Backyard birthdays in Edge Hill or Stratford, garden functions in the southern suburbs and beachside parties on the Northern Beaches all lean on one when the forecast is uncertain.

What to check before booking a marquee:

  • Size for your guest count and layout: seated dinner, cocktail party or a mix of both.
  • Whether walls or sides are included and can be dropped quickly if rain or wind arrives.
  • Ground conditions, such as lawn, sand or paving, and whether pegs or weights are needed.
  • Flooring for soft or wet ground, so guests and furniture are not sinking into mud.
  • Lighting and power, including festoons and whether a generator is needed.

Marquee hire on this page covers the city, the Northern Beaches and the southern suburbs. Pair it with event furniture hire and AV hire for a complete outdoor setup.

Marquees and the tropical weather

  • Summer storms in the wet season can bring heavy rain and strong gusts, so ask about the hire company's wind limits and safety plan.
  • Cyclone warnings may force a marquee to come down, so read the cancellation terms carefully.
  • In the dry season, shade and airflow matter more; ask about open sides or fans.
  • Gutters between marquee sections stop water dripping onto tables in a downpour.

Site and access

  • Check the site is level and free of underground pipes or cables where pegs go in.
  • Confirm the hire company can get their truck close to the site, especially for a backyard or beachside property.
  • Ask how long installation and pack-down take, and plan around the venue's access times.

Answers to Common Party Tent Hire Questions

Why hire a marquee for an outdoor party up north?

A marquee provides shade on hot afternoons and cover from sudden wet-season storms, making an outdoor event far more reliable.

Can a marquee stay up in a tropical storm?

Marquees have wind limits, and the hire company will take one down if conditions become unsafe. Ask about their weather policy and cancellation terms.

Which areas does marquee hire cover around the reef city?

Marquee hire on this page covers the city, the Northern Beaches and the southern suburbs. Ask about delivery further out.

Do I need flooring under a marquee?

On soft lawn or wet ground, flooring keeps guests, furniture and dance floors stable. Ask the hire company whether it is included.

Can marquees be hired with furniture and lighting?

Some hire companies supply furniture, linen and festoon lighting along with marquees, which simplifies delivery and setup.
