Marquee hire for winter party occasions: preparations for success!

If you’re planning an event this winter, you’ll be well aware of how the change of season is affecting our surroundings: from colder days to darker evenings, there are a few factors to consider when it comes to your marquee hire for winter party occasions.

Perhaps marquees are more commonly associated with summer. Still, there are plenty of reasons why marquees can be ideal throughout the autumn and winter, such as being able to choose your location and setting your own budget and time limits.

We’d go as far as to say that marquee hire for winter parties has never been easier and fortunately, we have some of the best marquees Essex can provide. Marquees are vastly adaptable for winter events and with a few additions, they can be transformed into cosy, elegant spaces for weddings, corporate parties, Christmas events and more.

In this blog, we’ll cover everything that you may need to adapt your marquee hire for winter events. From heating and adequate lighting to flooring and decorations, we can help to make your marquee hire for winter, party perfect.

The choice of Marquee

When it comes to choosing your marquee hire for winter party occasions, it’s important to consider the type of atmosphere that you want to create. We have everything from our versatile clear-span marquee hire, to sail cloth marquees with panoramic sides, to our traditional marquees that bring a classic feel to your wedding or event. You can always add extra rooms for bars or catering or opt for one of our tipi’s for a unique experience.

Heating

With our amazing marquee hire in Essex, your guests needn’t feel a chill this winter, as we supply marquee heaters with thermostatic controls and have a range of heating options available, ensuring your guests are comfortable on colder days. We can help you find the best placements for your heating to avoid a draft and optimise the heat distribution throughout the marquee.

Lighting

Where the evenings are getting darker earlier, there couldn’t be a better opportunity for fantastic lighting. The right lighting can enhance your event and transform your marquee into a magical winter setting. The festive lighting combined with the nature outside can provide the most beautiful backdrop once everything is lit up. We have a range of lighting options from chandeliers to festoon lighting available in different sizes, so your marquee can glow from the outside in! You may want to consider lighting up walkways so people can safely enter and exit the perimeters of your marquee as well.

Flooring

The colder, wetter seasons will usually demand that you use flooring within your marquee hire for winter party occasions. This will protect your guests from harsher weather conditions and provide them with extra warmth and comfort.
A wooden subfloor is generally required in the winter months, especially for softer ground, but this can also be layered up with carpets and matting in a range of colours to suit your theme.

Decoration

Putting on a winter marquee wedding or event means that you can go all out when it comes to the decoration! You can incorporate seasonal details creating your very own winter wonderland. Colour schemes can be stunning this time of year and tie everything together for you so that your marquee hire for winter party time appears seamless and perfectly festive.

Fire pits and bowls

If you’re looking for additional heat or your guests are likely to venture outside of your marquee or tipi, you may want to incorporate fire pits or bowls that will provide extra warmth and lighting, and add atmosphere to your wedding or event. We have both interior fire pits and exterior fire bowls available for your guests to enjoy. Ensure that you practice great outdoor fire safety at your party or event.
