It’s recommended to book your marquee 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for summer weddings. Marquee hire companies have limited inventory, and peak dates can book out quickly, particularly for popular styles like clear or stretch tents.
In addition to the marquee itself, you’ll typically need to consider flooring, lighting, furniture, power supply, toilets and weather protection. Many hire companies offer package deals or can help coordinate these elements for a seamless setup.
Wellington is known for its wind, so it’s important to choose a marquee designed for stability and work with experienced suppliers. Proper anchoring, wind-resistant structures and side coverings are essential to ensure comfort and safety.
Most marquee companies will install the structure one to two days before your wedding and return the day after to pack it down. Timing can vary depending on the size and complexity of the setup, so it’s important to confirm access with your venue.
