Getting Party Tent Hire Right

Outdoor events here are at the mercy of wind and sudden changes, so a marquee is often the difference between a relaxed day and a scramble. It covers a farm wedding on the Bellarine, a big birthday in the backyard or a corporate event on a lawn, and it doubles as the wet-weather plan.

What to settle when you size a marquee:

  • Guest numbers and the layout: seated dinner, cocktail party or a mix of both.
  • Extra space for a dance floor, a bar, the band or DJ and the caterer's prep area.
  • Flooring if the ground is uneven or likely to be wet.
  • Side walls for wind and rain, and lighting and heaters for the evening.
  • Whether the site takes pegs or needs weights.

Both marquee companies here cover the city and its northern and southern suburbs, with one reaching the Bellarine and one the Surf Coast. Both also supply event furniture, so you can order the lot together.

Booking and installation

  • Summer weekends on the coast are in demand, so secure a marquee as soon as the date is set.
  • Ask how long installation takes and how many days before the event they need access.
  • Confirm who checks the structure if a strong wind is forecast.
  • Find out if the venue or council needs to approve a large structure.

Making a marquee comfortable

  • Clear side walls keep the view while blocking the wind.
  • Heaters make a big difference on spring, autumn and summer evenings by the water.
  • Festoon or fairy lighting turns the space into a reception room after dark.
  • Plan where the toilets, power and caterer's kitchen sit in relation to the tent.

Answers to Common Party Tent Hire Questions

Do I need a marquee for a wedding on the Bellarine?

For any outdoor wedding there, a marquee or an indoor backup is worth planning, since wind and rain can arrive quickly.

Can a Geelong marquee company supply flooring and lighting?

Yes, one company on this page supplies flooring, lighting, tables and chairs with the structure.

How early should I book a marquee for a summer event?

As soon as the date is set. Coastal weekends in summer fill first.

Will a marquee stay up in strong wind on the Surf Coast?

Ask the hire company how they anchor it and what they do if a strong wind is forecast. Side walls help with comfort.

Do marquee hire companies set up and take down?

Both here deliver and install. Confirm how long they need for set-up and pack-down at your site.
