Indian weddings are always grand event with multiple functions and events taking place in a short space of time. Our client in Croydon, South London was holding a grand event with stylish and colourful decor. After the initial meeting at a wedding exhibition, we arranged a site visit at her home address where the event was taking place at the large and beautiful back garden. During the site visit the client informed me of her requirements which included a large marquee to cover up to 80 seated guests at round tables with the hire of tables and chairs from our furniture hire range and further 40 guests to float around the marquee and space for mehndi decor, Mobile bar, Trestle tables for buffet and space for the dance floor with a DJ. Plenty of space was very important to the client. Although the events were taking place in June the client wanted a walkway marquee in case of rain so guests can walk through from as close to their cars as possible. We carried out multiple meetings with the client upon which we also agreed on the marquee mehndi decor and mobile bar service. The client had a very good idea of her requirement which made our job very easy.
The Challenge
The main challenge was to incorporate the beautiful garden as well as work around it. A large marquee of 12 meters wide and 18 meters long was agreed to give the client 216sqm of internal space, with marquee lining and chandelier lights. The marquee flooring was also covered with cream coloured marquee carpet to give it a bright feel throughout. The mehndi decor consisted of coloured bases with velvet finishing of clients choice and bolster pillows. This was housed under a colourful canopy. We also recommended colourful uplighting to give it a party mood when the party really gets going. A 3 meters X 6 meters tent was also recommended as a walkway into the larger marquee so the guests enter without getting wet and minimum disruption.
The Solution
We began installation 5 days before the event was to take place. A 3 man team began installation of the marquee. We took part in the garden inside the marquee as there was plenty of space. The result was that the marquee felt like a hidden garden itself. We laid out the marquee according to the client specification with round banquet tables covered in ivory table cloths and the beautiful mobile bar to the far end of the marquee. The Middle of the marquee was for the mehndi decor and the DJ. we created the mehndi decor which consisted of green red and orange draping on pipe and drape system and seating the canopy. The marquee was lit with chandelier lighting and up lighters. We completed the installation in three days after which our bartenders came in with our glassware and begin setup for the night. The night was very successful and the client was very happy with the way the whole thing was carried out and made recommendations to her friends and family during the night.

About This Project
Hindu Pre-wedding event marquee at the back of the clients home. 12 x 15m Marquee with furniture and decor with bar service.
Indian weddings are rich in culture and tradition, often spanning several days and involving multiple ceremonies. Each event, from the Mehndi to the Sangeet, holds significant meaning and is celebrated with grandeur, which is why choosing the right marquee is crucial for accommodating various functions.
For example, the Mehndi ceremony typically involves intricate henna designs and vibrant decor, while the Sangeet is a lively musical celebration. A marquee can be customized to reflect these themes, ensuring that each part of the wedding is beautifully showcased and comfortable for guests.
Choosing the Right Marquee Size
Selecting the appropriate marquee size is essential for ensuring a comfortable experience for all guests. The size must accommodate seating, dining, and any additional decor or entertainment areas, which can vary significantly based on the number of attendees and event layout.
For instance, a marquee that comfortably seats 80 guests at round tables, as in the case of our recent project, also needs space for a dance floor and buffet area. It’s advisable to consult with a marquee hire expert to determine the best size based on the specific requirements of the event.
Decor Options for Indian Weddings
Decor plays a pivotal role in setting the ambiance for Indian weddings. From vibrant colors to intricate designs, the decor must align with the couple's vision and cultural significance. Marquees provide a versatile space that can be transformed to reflect the desired aesthetic.
For example, using colorful drapes, traditional motifs, and ambient lighting can create a festive atmosphere. Incorporating elements like floral arrangements and themed decor can also enhance the overall experience, making the marquee a stunning focal point of the wedding celebration.
Logistical Considerations for Marquee Setup
Setting up a marquee for an Indian wedding involves careful planning and execution to ensure everything runs smoothly on the event day. Key logistical considerations include location, access for delivery, and the timeline for installation.
In our recent project, we began installation five days prior to the event to ensure all elements were in place, allowing time for adjustments. This proactive approach is essential for addressing any unforeseen challenges, such as weather conditions, and guarantees that the marquee is ready for the festivities.
