1. Choose the Right Location.

When planning a marquee wedding, choosing the right location is crucial. Consider the size of your guest list, the style of your wedding, and the accessibility of the location.

You may also want to consider the scenery and backdrop of the location to ensure it fits with your wedding theme and style.

2. Consider the Size of Your Marquee.

When planning a marquee wedding, it’s important to consider the size of your marquee. This will depend on the number of guests you have invited, as well as any additional space you may need for a dance floor, bar, or catering area. Make sure to measure the space where you plan to set up your marquee to ensure it will fit comfortably. You may also want to consider the height of the marquee, as some venues may have restrictions on the maximum height allowed.

Consider renting heaters or fans to keep your guests comfortable, and make sure to have a plan in place for moving the ceremony or reception indoors if necessary. You may also want to invest in a sturdy marquee with sidewalls to protect against wind and rain.
