Your Hire Questions
Welcome to our FAQ section! At Holmsted Events, we understand that planning an event can raise a lot of questions. Whether you’re organizing a wedding, corporate gathering, or private celebration, our marquee hire service is designed to provide you with a seamless experience. Here, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about our marquees, setup, and services to help you plan your perfect event.
What types of marquees do you offer for hire?
We provide a variety of marquee options to suit different event styles and themes. Our range includes luxury Tentipi® Tipis, elegant Sailcloth tents, and the unique Tree Marquees. Each type offers a distinct look and feel, perfect for weddings, parties, or corporate events.
Do you provide furniture and accessories with the marquee hire?
Yes, we offer a wide selection of furniture and accessories to help you create the perfect atmosphere for your event. From stylish seating and tables to lighting, dancefloors and bars, we can supply everything you need to complement your marquee. We also provide a wide range of practical items such as generators for power, heaters, catering tents, and new for 2025 luxury toilet units. Check out our 'Accessories' section for more info.
Can I customise the marquee layout and style for my event?
Absolutely, no job is ever the same! We offer bespoke marquee and furniture packages tailored to your needs. Whether you're hosting a wedding, party, or corporate event, our team will work with you to ensure the marquee layout and style reflect your vision. We'll work with you on a CAD drawing to ensure the internal layout of your marquee works for you, and all your suppliers.
How is the setup and breakdown of the marquee handled?
Our team takes care of all the logistics for you. We will deliver, set up, and dismantle the marquee at your chosen venue, ensuring everything is in perfect condition and done on schedule. This allows you to focus on enjoying your event without any hassle.
Can I hire a marquee for both small and large events?
Certainly! Our wide range of marquee sizes makes them suitable for events of any scale, from intimate gatherings to large corporate functions or festivals. Simply share your requirements with us, and we’ll recommend the ideal option for your event. Our smallest marquee option is a single Tipi which is 10.3m diameter and perfect for events of roughly 50 guests.
Can I amend my order after booking?
Yes, of course! Not many people know exactly what they want at the point of booking and paying their deposit. After booking, you can add, remove and amend the extras and accessories on your order until a month before the event. We just adjust the final balance owing no later than 4 weeks before the event. Please note, the adding of items if subject to stock.
Do you offer site visits?
We always do a site visit for our marquee bookings. We'll do this at whatever point is most convenient with you. If you have any immediate concerns, such as access or space, it's best we come and do a site visit at the quote stage. But if you prefer us to come later in the process, we can do that also.
