Hiring Marquees For Corporate Hosting Events

The marquee was originally a place for celebration, for festivities and fun on a grand scale - most often, for the circus. Today, however, a number of private and public events - whether personal celebrations or corporate events - are being held in marquees of various shapes and sizes.

Corporate events are usually held indoors - in auditoriums or large halls. However, it becomes necessary to find a place for the influx of people who enter simultaneously, especially in times of inclement weather. This is when a marquee set up just outside the main building space can be a useful transition zone.

Marquees are also used as the main hosting areas for corporate events set up in fair grounds or other open spaces. Setting up a marquee usually works out cheaper than hiring a hall, and sometimes it is the only option for events that host people by the hundreds. Large industrial fairs, for example, may be set up in one large marquee, or may see several interconnected marquees - connected by "tunnels" or not. Sometimes, multiple companies group together under one medium-sized marquee, while at other times each brand prefers to set up its own temporary hosting space.

The best thing about marquees is their versatility. A marquee can host a small gathering of 30 people, while other marquees can be large enough for circuses! There are also various types of marquees, from which people can choose the best fit for their needs and budget.

One of the most annoying features of tents and marquees - the long pole in the center of the space - has now been eliminated thanks to technology that allows for a "floating pole" suspended on cables. This maintains the characteristic peaked top of the marquee, while allowing people to access the inside space more freely.

Aluminium frame marquees, in fact, are almost as stable as any temporary walled structure. They can be spread over areas of 50 X 100 meters, covering obstacles such as pools, trees, fences, bushes and so on. These have to be professionally assembled, but the process is fast and not in the least cumbersome.

Marquees, since they come in a large variety of colors, can also be decorated with great flexibility. Carpets, interior decorations, flowers, electric torches... all the accessories that are present in a corporate event hall can be installed here. With CFL bulbs, lighting is also as good as it would be indoors, making marquees excellent for evening to night presentations as well.

For corporate events that need to be conducted over a large number of locations across the country, having a mobile hosting space is absolutely essential. To arrive at the right balance between being mobile and looking stable, the marquee is the best possible tool.
