How much does marquee hire cost?
Marquee structure hire is quoted for your event. We do not publish a single structure starting price because the suitable configuration, location, hire period, access and extras change the work and equipment involved. A bare structure and a dressed reception space are different specifications. Separate optional equipment has individual price guides below.
Ask for an itemised written proposal for your date and site. It should show the total you will pay and the services included, with the equipment and services listed clearly.
The parts of an itemised quotation
| Price component | Information that helps us quote | What to check in writing |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Event use, guest numbers, available site and preferred format. | The agreed structure and dimensions. |
| Delivery & installation | Postcode, access route, unloading point and permitted working times. | Delivery, erection, takedown, collection and any travel charge. |
| Hire period | Event date, venue access and preferred installation/collection windows. | The hire dates and any additional days. |
| Flooring & dressing | The finish you want and the proposed surface. | Flooring, carpet, lining, swags or other finishes actually included. |
| Furniture & lighting | Dining style, table and chair preferences, event timings. | Quantities and specifications; indoor and external lighting requirements. |
| Other event services | Food, drinks, dancing, sound and power needs. | Separately agreed catering, staffing, equipment and responsibilities. |
Read the quote in three parts.
| Part | What is known here | What the proposal must confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | 13m-wide modular range; 6m × 6m and 10m × 10m top-hat pagodas. | The structure, modular length if relevant, date, site and suitable layout. |
| Requested equipment | Flooring, lining, lighting and furniture can be discussed. | Actual items, quantities and areas covered. A dressed photograph is not the included package. |
| Hire arrangements | The event and site determine the required work. | Delivery, installation, handover, collection, responsibilities, full payable total and written terms. |
Mark each requested item included, supplied separately or still unresolved when checking the proposal. Resolve the last category before treating it as part of your booking.
Compare the same specification
Check that each proposal covers the same dates, structure, layout assumptions, finishes and installation arrangements. Confirm whether all applicable charges are in the stated total. A lower headline figure can cover fewer items; an itemised comparison makes that visible without guessing.
Deposits, payment dates, changes and cancellation terms are confirmed in the written booking paperwork. Review the terms supplied with your quotation before confirming the booking.
Get a useful price with fewer follow-up questions
Prepare your date, venue or postcode, approximate daytime and evening numbers, event type and a short description of the space. Add your budget if you have one, plus the furniture, food and lighting you want to include. Tell us what is undecided so the team can identify the next decision.
