Flooring for your Marquee

Marquees are a wonderful addition to your special event that guard against any unwanted weather as well as providing an excellent atmosphere tailored to your own specific taste. When selecting the place to situate your marquee there are several things to consider. The ground ideally should be level, especially if furniture is being used, as well as not prone to flooding to avoid problems that could ruin your event. 

When it comes to selecting marquee flooring, there are many options you can choose depending on the nature of the event you are holding. The flooring needs to be stable and offer good protection to the underlying lawn/ground. Different effects can be created depending if you want a stylish, comfortable, practical or attractive look and there are many marquee hire specialists, such as MM Hire, who work nationally and can help you select which flooring is best for you.

Coconut Matting is an example of standard flooring that is commonly used in marquees. Whilst it is practical and effective it is often accompanied by an unattractive smell that makes alternative flooring more viable. An alternate carpet is MM Mat that is as hard wearing as coconut matting as well as being flame retardant and waterproof. This sort of flooring is ideal for hard surfaces such as patio or decking. The simple style means that it can be used for a wide range of events.

More tailored floorings include: 

• MM Wood – suitable for events where an elegant style is more appropriate such as weddings, christenings and other special occasions. 

• Sheet flooring – more appropriate for fairs, catering areas or county shows where the style is not of optimum importance. 

• Dance flooring – relatively new and increasingly popular. For use when a dance floor and bar are to be located inside the marquee. 

MM Hire are nationwide marquee specialists that offer flooring to compliment any event requirements!

Things to remember when choosing the perfect location for your marquee

There are a fair few things to remember when booking a venue to place your marquee, some of which are listed below:

The Ground

When choosing a venue make sure that the ground the marquee will be erected on is suitable, if you go to see the venue on a dry day make sure you ask if the area is liable to flood. As we all know the British weather is very unpredictable so you don't want to be caught out! The ground will also need to be as level as possible or tables and chairs in the venue will be on an angle which could make things tricky.

Power

A must for any marquee especially if you are having a DJ or Band is electricity, if the venue is unable to provide power a generator is the only option.

Parking

A lot of the time people over look parking, people tend to get carried away looking at the site and forget the parking. Most people will drive to a wedding reception or party so you have to think that most cars will have between 2-4 people in it and these cars will have to go somewhere. It is always best to find a venue which has either a gravel or tarmac car park so people don't get stick if it is a wet day.

Toilets

Remember not all venues provide toilets in the packages, so make sure you make this a priority inquiry, you may need to find a toilet hire company for the occasion.

Hotels

Are they any local hotels in the area, if you're having your special occasion out of the way and if a lot of your guests are going to be drinking then they may need accommodation for the evening? It could be an idea to contact hotels close to your venue and let them know about your special event it could be possible to get discounts on rooms for yourself and your guests.
