Renting a large, marquee tent for your wedding day is just the beginning. The marquee furniture hire is just as important. What furnishings you rent will set the tone for the whole reception. You might be planning a small, simple but elegant affair or perhaps a luxurious, extravagant event to remember. Either way, the furniture will get the first impression to your guests of what kind of wedding they are attending.
Chairs
There are a wide variety of chairs available for your wedding – from low budget to extravagant seating. These chairs can be made to match your wedding them from the wood finish to the color of the fabric padding. Wood finishes include mahogany, natural, cherry, silver, and gilt. Chair covers are also an elegant touch to spruce up some basic chairs. That’s one of the great things about wedding marquees, you have the freedom to choose what you want the chairs to look and feel like to match your reception. You are not required to use the venue’s chairs or make due with chairs that have wear and tear.
Tables
As with chairs, there are many different tables to choose from. Each table design has its own feel to it. Spacing is always an important factor when selecting your tables. Whether you get the larger conference, trestle or banquet tables or still with smaller, and more intimate, garden, round, cocktail or café tables – a wedding marquee company can help you make the right choice to achieve your perfect setting.
Extras
Besides your seating, a wedding reception can require quite a few other pieces to make it complete. Naturally, a dance floor will be necessary and the standard options are the parquet and black/white flooring options. The bride and groom may also be interested in a podium, mobile toilets, curtains or screens for separate areas, and staging. Other props are optional such as a mirrored ball, ice rink, and temporary fencing.
Lighting
When it comes to lighting the marquee tent, nothing has to be simple or boring. First, you need to decide on what type of mood you are planning on setting. Then you can go through all the options and select what fits the plan best. Pea lights, star lights, festoons, and up lighters are different types of lighting available. For outdoor lighting, there are exterion lights, or chandeliers for a more upscale affair.
Bars
To make your marquee more inviting, renting a bar or some sitting out furniture is in order. Bars can be themed and decorated to make your reception plans. Some bars can be truly unique, like those made of ice or staffed with talented cocktail bartenders. Sitting out furniture has grown in popularity with its cozy sofas in private corners.
It may take some time to finally settle on your marquee furniture hire, but the ability and freedom to choose just the right furnishings for your event is more than worth it. If the selection is too much for you, the wedding marquee company is often happy to assist in helping you select the best furniture rental for your event.
