WHAT SIZE MARQUEE OR PAVILION WILL I NEED FOR MY EVENT?

The size marquee/ pavilion you will need can vary depending on a number of factors:

Guest Numbers- decide how many guests will be attending

Style of function decide what style of function you will have- standing/cocktail style or seated. If you decide on seated you will then need to decide if you will seat people at round or long tables

Dance floor consider if you would like to have room for a dance floor

Bridal table if you are organising a wedding decide if you would like a bridal table

Catering if you’re having a banquet style function, extra room will be needed for banquet tables

We LOVE offering our recommendations to make your event a hit! Contact us to talk through your event and we will let you know the best size for your requirements.

CAN YOU SET UP A MARQUEE OR PAVILION ON HARD SURFACES?

Yes, instead of using pegs we would use weights to hold the structure down. Due to the extra labour involved there are extra charges involved. Let us know when quoting and we can include this for you

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MARQUEE & PAVILION?

A marquee is a traditional peg and pole tent. The ceiling slopes gently downward from a row of tall centre poles to the wall poles. Marquees use guy ropes to tension. Walls are hung from a line on the inside of the ceiling and held in place on the ground using small pegs. A pavilion is definitely the premium option. Pavilions are the most flexible and stable form of temporary structure and are ideal for tight spots, they have no guy ropes so need virtually no clearance around its sides

CAN I SET A MARQUEE OR PAVILION UP MYSELF?

Aussie Hire & Event does not allow customers to install our marquees or pavilions. We have experienced staff that will install and dismantle for you

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?

You’re welcome to book as far in advance as you like.  Wedding season (September to April) is particularly busy, so we recommend booking in advance. We do however carry large quantities and can usually work something out, or offer alternate available stock if unavailable
