"Making Memories Under the Marquee: Throwing the Perfect Party!"

Updated: Dec 29, 2022


Throwing a party can be an overwhelming task to tackle. From decorations to menu planning to finding the perfect venue, there is a lot to consider! A great option for organising a party is by renting a marquee as the venue. This blog will discuss why a marquee is a great option for a party, whether its an 18th disco or a casual BBQ for a 60th, we will provide a step-by-step guide to planning a successful party when hiring a marquee.


Step One: Book the marquee The first step in planning a birthday party using a marquee is to book the marquee. Most marquee companies will provide an online contact form with information about their marquee setups, making it easy to identify a suitable venue for your needs. It is important to choose the right size marquee for the event, and this is determined by the number of guests you will be hosting, and the dimensions of your setup location, as well as any necessary accessories such as tables, chairs, and lighting. Step Two: Decorate the marquee Once the marquee has been booked, it is time to start decorating the space. There are many options for decorating a marquee, such as hanging streamers and balloons, creating a themed area. Additionally, adding personal touches such as photos or mementos to add more charm to the space. Decorating a marquee for a 60th birthday party can be a fun and creative process. Alternatively, hiring a decorator can help to ensure that the decorations are perfect for the event. Check out your local businesses, through Facebook, Instagram and google maps. Step Three: Plan the food menu Food is an important part of any birthday party and it is important to consider the guest’s preferences and dietary restrictions. The menu could even be tailored to the theme of the party if there is one, like hamburgers and sausages for a ‘backyard BBQ’ or Fajitas and Tacos for a ‘Mexican fiesta’. Importantly, providing a variety of appetizers, side dishes, and desserts can help to ensure that everyone is satisfied. Step Four: Set the mood Music is an important part of any party! When choosing your music, consider the music preferences of the person whose birthday it is but also the expected guests. If you are arranging the music yourself for the party, then here is a quick guideline to ensuring it is a success, 1. Create a playlist - Before the party, make a list of songs you want to play. Consider the genre, tempo, and length of the songs. 2. Research - Research the type of music you want to play. Look up popular songs and music that your guests may like.

3. Find music - Find the music you want to play. You can find songs to download legally or buy them from an online music store. 4. Set up equipment: Make sure you have the necessary equipment, such as speakers, a laptop, and an amplifier if necessary. 5. Test the music - Before the party, test the music to make sure it will sound good. Adjust the volume and sound levels if needed.

6. Play the music: Play the music during the party and pay attention to the guests’ reactions. Make sure to keep the music upbeat and lively. 7. Take requests - Ask your guests for requests and be open to playing different songs. 8. Keep it fresh - Switch up the playlist throughout the party and don’t be afraid to take risks. Alternatively hiring a DJ or a live band can certainly make your life easier and help create the atmosphere you are looking for. Adding other amenities to the marquee can help set the mood for a party. For example, providing a photobooth with props and a backdrop can provide a great way for guests to have fun and capture memories. Similarly, it may be a good idea to provide a bar or lounge area with drinks and snacks to encourage guests to mingle and relax. Or even hiring a professional photographer to capture the event is another great way to commemorate the occasion A 60th birthday party is an important milestone and should be celebrated in style!
