Getting Party Tent Hire Right

A marquee turns a lawn, paddock or vineyard into a venue. On the Peninsula, it's a common choice for weddings and big birthdays at family properties, where the setting is the drawcard but there's no room big enough for everyone.

Only two marquee hire businesses are listed here so far, so the list is small for now, though both also hire furniture. More will be added as they join.

What to check before you book:

Give the hire business your guest numbers and whether people will be seated, dancing or standing – each needs a different footprint

Ask whether walls, flooring, lighting and heating are included or added on

Check the ground: slope, soft soil, sprinklers and underground pipes all affect where a marquee can go

Confirm how much time is needed to put it up and take it down, and how that fits with your venue access

Ask about the weather limits – the business will have rules about high winds and when a marquee must be evacuated

Wind off the bay and cool evenings in the hinterland are worth planning for, even in summer. Ask about side walls, heating and a sheltered entry so guests stay comfortable once the sun goes down.

Send your plans to each marquee business and compare the quotes. You deal with them directly, and Party Hero takes no booking fee.

Include space for the dance floor, bar, caterer and any stage, not just the tables
An open-sided marquee suits warm days and lunches; walls with windows suit evenings and cooler months
Plan a separate covered area for the caterer if food is being prepared on site
Think about paths, lighting and toilets for guests walking from the car park in the dark

Filling the Marquee

Tables, chairs and a bar come from event furniture hire, often from the same business
Speeches and music need sound – see AV hire
An event stylist or florist can dress the inside so it doesn't feel like a tent
If a marquee feels like too much work, compare wedding reception venues with their own indoor spaces

Answers to Common Party Tent Hire Questions

How big a marquee do I need?

It depends on guest numbers and the layout, including dance floor, bar and food service. Tell the hire business how many people and what format, and they'll recommend a size.

Do I need council approval for a marquee?

Larger temporary structures can need a permit, and rules vary by council and property. Ask the hire business and check with your local council if you're unsure.

What if it's windy on the day?

Marquees are rated for certain wind speeds, and the hire business will have a plan for very windy weather. Ask what their limits are and what happens if they're reached.

How long does it take to set up a marquee?

Smaller marquees can go up in a few hours, while larger ones may need a day or more. Agree setup and pull-down dates early, as they affect your property booking.

Can I add flooring and heating?

Most marquee businesses offer both, along with lighting and side walls. Flooring helps on soft or uneven ground and heating is worth it for evening events.

Can furniture be hired from the same business?

Both Peninsula marquee businesses listed here also hire furniture. Booking together keeps delivery, setup and collection on one schedule.
