Disadvantages of Hiring a Marquee for Your Wedding

Marquee based weddings are gaining in popularity with couples wanting to keep costs down in the current economy by having their wedding in their own garden. If you do decide to have a home wedding, marquee hire West Sussex, North London and Berkshire are abundantly available from many local companies. However, whilst having your wedding in a marquee has its pros, it is not without its disadvantages:

-Hosting your wedding in your home means added stress for you and your partner and families. Not only are you responsible for all the setting up that precludes a wedding, but also the cleaning up that follows after the festivities are over. If you were to hire a venue, you would not need to do any setting or cleaning up. Furthermore, you may need to clear out the marquee fairly quickly, as the company that owns the marquee will require it to be returned fast, thus you may barely have time to enjoy your newly married status amidst all the tidying up. If your garden is not in top condition, you may also bear the cost of getting a gardener in to clear the area up for the marquee.

-Although hiring a marquee itself is cheaper than hiring a venue, there is the added cost of hiring all the other hardware. You will need things like chairs, tables, crockery, the dance floor, power supply, lighting, sound system, a stage, a podium for the ceremony, etc. You may also need drapes if you decide to separate the marquee into different areas. Marquee hire North London may be especially expensive, as the cost of living in London can be higher than most other areas.

-Weddings are often quite loud, especially if you decide to have music and a dance floor. As marquees are not soundproof, you run a risk of upset your neighbours. You may have to cut the party short early if your neighbours complain.

-Although it is possible to hire a marquee any time of the year, it comes with added costs in the summer and in winter. In order to keep your guests comfortable, during the summer you will need additional air conditioning, and during the winter you will need heating and extra flooring. Marquee hire Berkshire may prove to be troublesome as the weather has a tendency to be extreme. The best time for having a marquee wedding is the spring and autumn seasons.
