Marquees / Tipis Tips
Check your space: Have a look at our website for some to-scale floorplans to get an idea of what you can fit in, and how much space you will have to dance and mingle
Book early: To nab your first choice of venue/supplier (and to lock in lower prices or discounts), earlier is better. Try for 18 months in advance where possible
Consider power: To run your lights, music, etc you will need to make sure you have enough power. Extension leads may be enough if you are close to the mains, but most clients require a generator
