The English summer weather has finally arrived, and with that in mind it’s time to start planning to enjoy any of your planned summer events. Whether it’s a long-awaited wedding event you have been planning or an important anniversary, or maybe it’s a birthday party, corporate or charity event, or just a long overdue catch up with friends, it’s time to get the party planning in motion
Hiring a marquee is a great way to host a garden party, combined with the summer weather and Surrey countryside, you can make a day to remember for all involved.
It can be cost effective if you have the garden space available and the marquee can be used either as an extension to your house, or as a separate venue within the garden. It is even possible to bring the garden inside with a marquee which can be built over flowerbeds and small trees. We can come and visit your garden, in Surrey, to give you the best advice.
Summer Garden Party Marquees
Garden Parties are such fun during the summer months and the summer weather offers up lots of extra ideas which you can incorporate into your marquee set-up, such as coloured tablecloths and glasses. Maybe seasonal garden flowers in jam jars for centrepieces, and night-lights, lanterns and solar lights for long discussions and dancing late into the night…
If you prefer a ‘quirkier’ set-up and want your marquee garden party to reflect this, then we can help find something that fits with the overall style of your day. The types of vases and containers as well as flowers you may use will set the style for centrepieces across tables within the marquee.
Dressing up a marquee makes it personal to you and your guests and indulges your creative side along the way!
Summer Evenings
Perhaps you are hosting an ‘afternoon tea’, or maybe a hog roast/barbecue style affair… Depending on your type of event, you may want a particular table layout inside the marquee setting up, so you may have guests seated on long banqueting tables, or perhaps smaller round tables or cube seats for a more informal feel. You will want plenty of space for your guests to sit and relax inside and outside of the marquee. And with the hot summer night you have the option to have doors opened so a good airflow is ensured.
Garden Party Catering
Food and drink are usually all organised before the event, but sometimes it’s worth asking your friends to bring something along. This helps to cater for everyone’s tastes and needs.
And, do not forget to check the power supply, for the catering side of things, as well as ensuring you have enough power points and plug sockets available for lighting, music etc…
