Tips on Marquee Hire for Corporate Events

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Trying to find a venue to hold your business’ corporate event can be a difficult and time consuming process. With so many options available to you, finding a venue that ticks every box and meets all of your requirements is often tricky. However for those looking to create a truly spectacular event, hiring a marquee from us at Danco could be just what you need. We have various options available to you with regards to marquee hire in addition to a number of tips on how to make it right for your event.

Tip One: Choose the style wisely

We offer three different types of marquee that can be particularly effective for all manner of events. Those looking to create a rustic feel may be drawn more towards our traditional marquees whereas those aiming for something more contemporary could look at our range of clearspan marquees. The third style available to you is the Chinese hat marquee which can either be used on its own or combined with others.

Tip Two: Decide on size

Once you have made a decision on the style of your marquee, the next consideration for you to mull over is the size. Choosing the right size marquee is imperative as the last thing you want is for people to be squashed into an area that is too small for them. All of our marquees are available in a variety of different sizes and many also have the potential to be increased in size after installation.

Tip Three: Additional extras

When a final decision has been made on style and size, a further thing you should think about is the additional extras. This may include internal decoration as well as security for your event. You may wish to call on professionals who supply various security services Oxfordshire to ensure your event goes to plan from start to finish.

By taking on board these tips, you can make sure that the marquee hire option you choose is the most effective one for your corporate event. If you require further details or have any questions, feel free to get in touch with the team here at Danco for a swift and helpful response.

Benefits of Hard Sided Marquee Hire

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

Many events are now being held in the open air, but due to the unfortunate weather we in the UK experience, organisers of these events invest in marquee hire to ensure their day, come rain or shine, continues without a hitch. Fortunately this is where we at Danco offer our valuable services providing various marquees which offer a unique purpose and this article will discuss just some of the benefits of hard sided marquees.

Security:

Where conferences, events or exhibitions are concerned, security needs to be second to none. With valuable props, important documents and expensive equipment all being contained within, the hard sided marquee is the sensible choice when it comes to ensuring all items are safe and secure.

Noise:

Noise can come from a number of different sources at a conference or exhibition; wind, rain and even fellow visitors discussing matters at hand. Unfortunately, without a hard sided marquee, it can be difficult to ignore the noise itself which can often mean uncomfortable trips outside to ask people to move elsewhere.

We recommend hard sided marquees for any occasion where there may be more than one conference or talk going on at a time. This reduces the chance of outside noise, allowing you to enjoy the discussion going on in your marquee only.

Thermal retention:

Even in the summer there can be a slight chill in the air, especially if you’re sitting still. With this in mind, hard sided marquees can make all the difference by retaining the heat and allowing all guests to focus on the events inside in a comfortable environment.

So, choosing hard sided marquees are the ideal choice to make any outdoors event go without a hitch, leaving you to sort out the more important things such as flowers from a florist Uxbridge, or sound and equipment hire.

We at Danco have much experience in helping you to decide on the right marquee for your needs. Get in touch via our contact form found on our website, or the number situated at the top of our homepage and we’ll endeavour to answer all of your marquee hire questions.

Office Space

Office refurbishment is often a necessary element of business; not only does it provide a fresh place of work to motivate employees, it is also a vital selling tool for companies whose clients visit them at the premises. For this reason, it is essential that the necessary work is carried out, however it is equally as important that normal office routine is continued. Consider marquee hire as an immediate, spacious and cost effective means of continuing your daily tasks; with recent advancements in providing efficient heating systems, your staff will also be able to remain comfortable at all times.

Seasonal Storage

If you require additional storage during the busier months of business, marquee hire is a fantastic alternative to renting premises that will not be in use the whole year round. Advancements within the industry now mean we are able to offer hard sided pavilions complete with doors, ensuring enhanced security and strength no matter what you are looking to store. In addition, marquees can be attached to existing buildings so convenience is maximised.

What Events Would be Suitable for Marquee Hire?

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Are you holding an event? If so, you’ll need a venue which will aesthetically provide the ideal setting, but also offer a practical and functional environment. Marquee hire provides an intelligent alternative to traditional establishments which may be selected to act as the venue, and is perfect for anyone looking to create a memorable and impressive event. With this in mind, what types of events are marquees suitable for, and what types of marquees are available to hire?

Here at Danco, our marquee services present an excellent solution to all those looking for a flexible and adaptable venue. We have split our marquees into four main categories to demonstrate the different types of events they are suitable for:

Festivals & Shows

We are the preferred marquee supplier for several large and prestigious events, such as the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show, Glastonbury Festival and the Great British Cheese Festival, just to name and a few. Suitable for such a purpose, our Clearspan and Traditional structures are ideal, or why not consider the more decorative structures we have on offer, such as our Chinese hats?

Events & Exhibitions

However large or small your event, we can provide an extensive range of structures to align with you requirements. These vary from marquees with solid sides, to those with glazed panels and cassette suspended flooring, depending on your preferences.

The Process of Setting Up a Marquee

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

With the wedding season getting ready to get into full swing from next month, many brides-to-be will be looking at tying up any loose ends they may have with their wedding, including everything to do with the perfect wedding reception venue. Whilst a beautifully decorated Georgian house will look stunning in photos for years to come, it’s likely during the wedding season that their prices will be hiked up, meaning cuts will have to be carried out on other areas of the wedding. One way to avoid this is by holding a wedding reception in a marquee Birmingham which can be erected virtually anywhere, as long as permission is granted.

Here at Pitstop Marquees, we provide a range of marquees at various sizes which are suitable for various occasions, including weddings, and as long as you follow our simple guide for the process of setting up a marquee, you’ll be certain to avoid any preventable glitches.

Before you hire a marquee, it’s likely that you’ll have found the ideal location. However, have you checked that the area is clear, level and big enough to accommodate the size of the marquee you require?

It’s vital that when setting up a marquee there’s at least a six metre gap between the top of the marquee and any overhead cables; whilst for a pole marquee, you’ll require at least 2 metres all around the marquee for the guide ropes and stakes.

Along with ensuring that the area where the marquee is to be pitched is flat and large enough, here at Pitstop Marquees, we’d also recommend setting up the marquee within easy access for caterers or any DJs that will be keeping the guests entertained throughout the event.

When hiring a marquee Birmingham from us here at Pitstop Marquees, you’ll be certain of getting a quality product in which to hold a memorable event. Along with the brief guidelines above, we’ll also provide you with a list of hints and tips to ensure that your event runs smoothly.

Marquees for Large Weddings in Oxfordshire

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Location, appearance, expense; these are all important and significant factors to consider when looking for a wedding venue. One of the most significant problems which eager couples face however, is the search to find a building big enough to hold their wedding. Instead of looking for the perfect building to host your big day, why not allow yourself the opportunity to create your dream venue from scratch. Here at Richardson Marquees, we are able to pass on the excellent advantages which marquees Oxfordshire offer, to all those looking to hold a large wedding within the area.

Whether you’re planning a wedding on a grand scale, or a smaller and more intimate occasion, the venue is the key aspect which ties all of your plans together. In an ideal world, we’d all be able to create a celebration venue which fits around the needs of our event, and luckily for those planning a wedding, there is a way to achieve this.

Hiring a marquee gives you a blank canvas to shape around your event. This allows you to make it extra personal, as you’ll have full control over every aspect – from size and interior, right down to the location and view.

We are able to supply marquees of all different sizes. We’ll begin by having a detailed discussion about your specifications for the final marquee, so that we can set to work providing a marquee which meets and exceeds your needs.

Unlike a building, a marquee allows you to pick and choose the layout of your interior. We can add divisions within the marquee to create separate rooms, and special areas. We can also join our marquees together, which is a useful way to make best use of the space available in your desired location. Alternatively, we can custom build additional sections of PVC to join onto an existing structure, giving you the freedom of more space.

Make your special day that little but more personal with a customised marquee, and rid yourself of the restrictions which hiring a building may present. For more information on any of the marquees Oxfordshire which we supply, get in touch with a member of our helpful team today.
