Marquee hire businesses supply temporary covered structures for events held at homes, venues and outdoor sites. Customers can hire marquees for weddings, parties, corporate functions, exhibitions, fairs and community events. Options may include traditional pole marquees, clear-span structures without internal supporting poles, smaller garden marquees and covered walkways. The size, layout and style are usually chosen to suit the number of guests, the site and the type of occasion. A hire service commonly includes delivery, erection and dismantling, with staff checking access and ground conditions before installation. Additional items may be available to hire, such as flooring, staging, lighting, heating, furniture, tableware, doors and decorative linings. Some businesses can also provide toilets, power equipment or catering facilities, either directly or through other event suppliers.
