For our wedding, we’re wanting a marquee and to come in and decorate it ourselves. How long is the hire of a marquee generally? Like, can we decorate it the day before? Thanks.

If an event is on a Saturday it will usually be a Thursday set up and a Monday morning pack down- most companies aim to be flexible with their client.

This is a very common question.  We generally like to bump in 2 days prior to the wedding, allowing one whole day for the wedding party to get orgainised and add their own touches, reducing the stress of time management.  We then like to allow another day after for a more relaxed pack down, turning up the second day after the wedding to bump out.

Thank you for your enquiry.  If marquee is to be installed in a private residence, we install on a Thursday or prior depending on bookings for that week and dismantle Monday or Tuesday following week.  

This would allow Friday for decorating, Saturday for celebrations and Sunday for clean up/pack up.  We then come back Monday or Tuesday to dismantle marquee and pick up.

We usually bump in on the Thursday/Friday before a weekend event and bump out on Sunday/Monday. However we can be flexible and this is always weather dependent. Hope this helps :)

Most companies will set up one or two days prior to your event and pack down the next day or day after. It depends on the time of the year, how busy they are and when it needs to be installed or bumped out by. If it can only be set up and packed down on the same day there maybe extra charges.

Great question!  Most companies will setup on the Thursday or Friday for a Saturday wedding.   It will depend on how busy their team is that week.  It will also depend on the size marquee you get as the large ones can take the better part of a day to setup.  It is definitely worth requesting an early setup as most companies will be happy to oblige!
