Getting Party Tent Hire Right

A marquee is the difference between an outdoor party that hopes for good weather and one that doesn't need it. In the dry season it gives shade from the sun; from December to April it is shelter from storms that can build quickly.

Structures worth comparing:

Pop-up gazebos – quick cover for a food station, a drinks table or a small backyard gathering.
Pavilions and marquees – larger frames with walls, for a seated dinner or a dance floor.
Sperry tents – peaked sailcloth tents with a relaxed, rustic feel for a wedding on acreage or a big lawn.
Teepees – a laid-back look for a garden party or a birthday with a theme.

Measure the site and note slopes, trees, overhead wires and power. For anything bigger than a pop-up, ask the hire firm to see the site before quoting.

The marquee firms here also hire furniture, so tables and chairs can come on the same truck.

Ask how the structure is anchored, and at what wind level it has to come down.
Have walls ready to close on the weather side if a storm comes through in the evening.
Agree in writing what happens if a cyclone warning stops the set-up: rebooking, refund or credit.

Keeping guests comfortable underneath

Fans, portable air-conditioning or open sides keep air moving on a humid night.
Lighting turns a marquee into an evening venue; pair it with lighting and sound.
Flooring keeps guests out of wet grass during the wet season.

Sites and access

The marquee firms here cover the mainland suburbs; ask about Magnetic Island and the vehicle ferry separately.
For a park or foreshore reserve, check with the land owner whether a permit is needed for a structure.
Leave room around the marquee for guy ropes and pegs, and for the crew to work.

Answers to Common Party Tent Hire Questions

What size marquee do I need for a wedding at Alligator Creek?

It depends on the layout: a seated dinner needs far more floor than a standing party. Give the hire firm your guest count and layout and ask for a site visit.

Is a sperry tent or a pavilion better in the wet season?

Ask the hire firm how each is anchored and walled. Whichever you choose, you want sides that close and a plan for heavy rain.

Can I hire a pop-up for a backyard birthday in Thuringowa?

Yes. Pop-up gazebos suit food stations and small gatherings, and can be hired with tables and chairs.

What happens to a marquee booking if a cyclone is forecast?

Terms vary, so ask before you pay a deposit. Get the rebooking, refund or credit policy in writing.

Can marquees be set up on Magnetic Island?

The marquee firms here list mainland suburbs, so ask directly; the vehicle ferry, freight and crew time would add to the cost.
