What is included in the fairy light cost on the marquee size guide?

The fairy lights are strung between the roof and the silk lining to create a starry effect and the cost includes the hire, installation and dismantle in each size marquee that is listed in the marquee size guide.

 

Do the marquee prices include setup and dismantle?

Yes they do

 

Do the silk lining prices include setup and dismantle?

Yes they do

 

Is there are charge for walls?

No, we don't charge for walls as there are too many variables at each job and this can change with the weather situation at the time.

 

Can the walls be rolled up?

No, but they can be folded back on themselves.

 

Do the marquees have ropes to secure them?

Generally not in most circumstances, unless excessive winds are forecast.

 

Is travel & delivery extra?

Yes, please see our travel costs for town areas only. Anything beyond that, it is best to ask for a quote.  In some cases, we may split the travel costs with another job in the same area.

 

Is there an extra charge for lighting the marquees?

Yes, there is a charge per hanging point, then the cost of your choice of shade.

 

How do I know how many hanging points there are in marquees?

The 6m span marquees have a point every 3 metres and the 10m span marquees have a point every 5 metres, which will allow sufficient lighting, extra lights can be added if desired.

 

Can the lights be dimmed?

Yes, we can supply a dimmer box to create ambient lighting at an extra cost.

 

How long is the hire period?

The standard hire period is based on 24 hours.  We do allow up to 3 days hire for weddings and weekends.

 

Can I hire equipment for longer than the standard 24 hours?

Yes, additional costs may apply.  Please contact us for a quote.

 

How far in advance do I need to book equipment?

There is no set time frame that you need to book by.  However, we do recommend booking marquees about 6-8 weeks in advance, especially if your function is during our busy season of October - April.  Marquees for weddings tend to book at least a year in advance.

 

When do I pay for hire?

A 20% deposit is required at the time of booking.  The balance is payable in full a minimum 7 days prior to your function date.  If you place a booking within 10 days of the function date, full payment is required upon receiving your invoice. Payments can be made by cash, cheque or EFT (please quote reference number when paying by EFT).

 

If I hire a marquee when do you set it up and pack it up?

Normally we set up marquees on Thursday and Fridays and collect them on Monday and Tuesdays.  Depending on our work load, this can be stretched to setting up on Wednesday and collecting on Wednesday.  This is negotiable and can be changed if you have certain requirements - please discuss this with us when making enquiries or bookings for marquees.  Please note: sometimes it is necessary for us to collect on Sundays.  Some venues require weekend set up & dismantle, which will incur additional charges.

 

What size marquee will I need?

There are many factors to consider when determining the size of the marquee required for your event.  Some factors that need to be considered include:

  • available space to fit the marquee
  • the type of event, eg. wedding, birthday party, corporate event, etc
  • the number of expected guests
  • whether the guests will be seated at tables
  • if so, what style of tables you prefer (please see marquee guest capacity chart for estimated space requirements) - Don't forget that a formal head table will take up more space than your guests tables.
  • whether you require a stage, dance floor, buffet tables, tables for dj /band /cake /gifts table or other furniture in the marquee.

Please call us for assistance in choosing the appropriate size.

 

How do I know if my site is suitable for installing a marquee?

Most surfaces are suitable for installing a marquee.  Usually we use pegs driven into grass surfaces or natural ground, but on surfaces where marquees cannot be pegged into the ground (such as paving, concrete or asphalt), concrete weights can be used.  There is a small additional charge to place and remove these heavy weights.

 

Do you charge a bond?

No, if damages occur then the costs to repair or replace will be payable upon invoice as per our standard terms and conditions of hire - click to read

 

What are the conditions of hire?

Can I see your equipment?

The smaller items, eg. tables, chairs, lights etc you can, but we do not have any marquees set  up for inspection. Please phone for an appointment if you wish to view any items.

 

Does the hire cost for items ie: tables, chairs & cloths, include set up?

The cost is for hire only.  Tables, chairs and linen are delivered ready for your chosen function decorator to transform the venue.
