There are many aspects of planning a successful party such as timing, location, budget, number of guests etc. The decision should be weighed in terms of how flexible your choice is on different parameters. Hiring a marquee provides a lot of flexibility in terms of design and size, lighting, space, and, of course, location. You can arrange it in your small garden or in an open field; the options are limitless.Marquees over hotels, here are the reasons:

1. Flexible Design
Hiring a marquee for a wedding party has a clear advantage. It offers immense flexibility in terms of design. You can have larger clear span marquees with small Pagoda style marquees alongside for a bar or a dance floor. You can change everything, right from carpet designs to interior decoration. You can also add your own style and character, which is difficult to implement in hotels.

2. Advantage of Merging With Surroundings
Hiring a marquee enables you to merge with preferred surroundings. If you like a particular view, you will be able to make the most of it. Frame marquees are good for such occasions as they come with clear window walls and roofs. Your guests will have a fantastic view of the natural surroundings around them, even when they are inside the marquee.

3. No Restrictions on Number of Guests
Hotels have strict limitations on the number of guests because of their fixed size. That is not the case with marquee parties. You can make last minute changes to accommodate more guests. A marquee is like a flexible room, which can easily be expanded in size in order to make it a perfect fit for your celebration.4. Budget-Friendly
Managing a wedding party in a hotel is quite an expensive affair. Marquee weddings, on the other hand, fall within your budget. You have a wide range of options in everything, right from decor, caterers, menu to bar — you can really choose suppliers as per your pocket.

5. Ample Room for Creativity
Marquee wedding parties can be ideal if you want to do your own thing, which is a far cry from the traditional stuff. You can select a modern or a classic style, a vintage or a beach theme and the list goes on and on.

Summing Up…
By now, you should have some clarity about which of the two options is a better choice for a wedding party. There is no denying the fact that the kind of experience you get in marquee wedding parties is completely different from the one that you get to see in hotels or banquet halls. So, if a perfect setting for your events is what you are looking for, consider hiring a marquee wedding company.

Divide your backyard into two spaces!

You will need to have two distinct areas. One space should be designated for the ceremony and another for the reception where food and drinks will be served. Pay careful attention to where the sun sets during the time of your ceremony. You don’t want your guests to be blinded by the sun when you are saying “I do.” This is also important to consider when you decide where to place your marquee. To help Mother Nature along, make sure your lawns are in good shape. Make sure your flowers have been planted in time so that they are in full bloom on the day of your wedding. Schupepe will help you to decide on the best place for the marquee, preferably where the ground is level.

Make Mother Nature Work for you!

Unlike traditional venues, you have the freedom to customise your wedding décor to your particular tastes. With a backyard wedding, the sky is the limit! We are blessed with a beautiful landscape in New Zealand, so all you really have to do is make use of the natural elements around you. Make use of tree stumps, hang lights from the trees, the options are endless! There is nothing quite like a beautiful marquee twinkling with fairy lights on a summer night. The best part about our marquees is that they are completely weatherproof! There will be no need to worry about the rain, the wind, or harmful UV rays.

Backyard Basics

1. Find out about local noise ordinances and sort out any permits that may be needed.
2. Ensure that your wedding officiant is able to perform the ceremony at your home.
3. Recommend hotels for your guests so they don’t wind up crashing at your house.
4. Don’t forget about parking! Make sure there is ample space.
5. You will need one port-a-potty per every 35 guests.
6. Don’t forget about your neighbours, you may even want to invite them!
7. Consider all of the items you will need to rent like tables, chairs, linen, etc… Thankfully, Schupepe can provide you with the necessary interior hire options.
8. You will most likely need a few generators to provide power.
9. Enlist a cleaning crew to help at the end of the night.
10. Relax and have fun! It is your day.
