Marquee Hire Prices

One of the first questions we are asked when someone is enquiring about marquee hire is the price. We thought we would put together an article to give some insight for some of the factors which effects the price. Please see below some factors to consider:

Location

The location of the marquee you are hiring is a big factor to consider. The distance from the hirer’s depot and the access once on site are crucial factors to consider when organising your marquee. Factors such as tolls, staff travel costs are all costs which are passed onto the client and usually calculated in the delivery charges.

Size

Most marquees for hire in Melbourne are based on a square meter rate. This usually includes the installation and the delivery is usually separate depending on the location where the marquee is being installed. There are inherent costs associated with larger marquees and this intern is more labour with installation and cleaning costs.

Please see below a list of sizes are available:

A Frame Marquee Style:

The lengths increases in 3 meter increments (ie: 3m, 6m, 9m long etc)

  • 3 meter wide
  • 6 meter wide
  • 10 meter wide

The lengths increases in 5 meter increments (ie: 5m, 10m, 15m long etc)

  • 10 meter wide
  • 12 meter wide
  • 15 meter wide
  • 20 meter wide
  • 25 meter wide

Curve Roof Style:

The lengths increases in 5 meter increments (ie: 5m, 10m, 15m long etc)

  • 10 meter wide
  • 12 meter wide
  • 15 meter wide
  • 20 meter wide
  • 25 meter wide

Roof Colour & Shape

There are options such as white and clear roof sheets which can be decided upon when you’re booking in your marquee rental. The clear roof options usually carry’s a slightly higher price as it is harder to maintain and keep clean. Traditionally, white roof marquees were common however we have seen a recent trend of company’s renting clear roof options as a point of difference.

Furnishings

Another factor which will depend on the size of the marquee and inevitably price is the furniture style you decide upon for inside the marquee. In a cocktail style layouts whereby clients utilise high bar tables instead of formal dining sit down tables & chairs you do not require as much space as a sit down formal dining arrangement. Due to the space the tables & chairs take we can comfortably fit more guests in a marquee with less furniture installed.

Clear Roof Marquee Hire vs. White Roof with Liner for Marquee Weddings in Melbourne

Wedding, , ,

Working in the event hire industry day-to-day we often get asked the cost difference between a clear roof marquee and white roof marquee with a liner for a lot of wedding marquee hire enquiries in Melbourne. There are many benefits of a clear roof marquee compared to a marquee with a liner; the clear roof option offers a ‘WOW’ factor for your event creating a magnificent space in the evening once the sun has set, opening up the night’s sky and stars whilst still being protected from the elements. The clear roof marquee option works out more cost effective compared to the liner option as it is less labour intensive, the money saved by going with the clear option can be invested in floral hanging arrangements or additional lighting (see pictured) to create a spectacular space for your wedding.

 

There are some downsides to the clear roof option and there is two main factors which should be considered while deciding which option is best for your event; the time of day the marquee is being used and the time of year the marquee is being used are 2 very important factor when deciding on the options for a marquee wedding in Melbourne. As there is no UV protection in a clear roof marquee it can tend to get quite hot if used during the day in the height of summer. Naturally, most weddings in and around Melbourne are held around the summer months due to the unpredictable weather patterns, if the marquee is being used towards the end of the day and in the evenings it is usually a comfortable temperature inside the marquee even during the hotter months. We offer a number of preventative methods to minimize the heat inside a clear roof marquee; we can tarp the marquee with an opaque material which blocks out the UV minimizing the heat furthermore cooling options such as misting fans and air-conditioning is available however come at a greater cost.

 

In recent years, there has been an attraction towards the clear roof marquee in comparison to lining mainly due to brides and grooms wanting to impress there guests and add a point of difference to their wedding. Although it is slightly more expensive than the plain white roof marquee option a wedding is such a significant life event that all option should be considered to make the day as memorable as possible.
