Second, think about the type of event you’re hosting. Different types of events require different types of furniture and decorations. For example, if you’re hosting a corporate event or wedding breakfast, you may want to opt for more elegant pieces such as golden coloured Chivari chairs, with clean white covers and bows. If it’s a beer festival or something that might have a high turnover of traffic then simple folding chairs with bare folding tables might be just the ticket.
What Size Marquee Do I Need to Hire?
It can be difficult to know what size marquee you need, but fear not, Your Event Cover is here to offer the key questions you should be asking yourself before making the decision.
This article is a guide to understanding the key considerations needed when choosing the correct size of marquee hire for your South Yorkshire event.
How many guests are expected?
One of the main things to consider when organising a marquee hire is exactly how many people are attending? This is an easy question to answer when it’s an invitational function, such as a corporate bash or wedding celebration. Just be sure to consider the hired staff that are going to be providing service throughout the event too.
It can be more difficult to estimate when it’s an open occasion, such as a beer or food festival, so if it’s expected to be a busy one then we might recommend that you estimate on the more generous side, to ensure there are no people turned away or who are left disgruntled by extended waiting times to get in.

Choosing the Right Furniture and Decorations
When it comes to furnishing and decorating a rental marquee, it’s important to choose the right pieces for the occasion. Whether you’re hosting a small gathering or a large event, the right furniture and decorations can make all the difference. Here are a few tips for choosing the perfect pieces for your rental marquee.
First, consider the size of the marquee and the number of people attending the event. This will help you determine the type of furniture and decorations you need. If you’re hosting a large event, you may need to rent extra furniture, such as tables and chairs, to accommodate your guests. On the other hand, if you’re hosting a smaller event, you may be able to get away with fewer pieces.
Tables and Chairs
One of the most important pieces of furniture for any event, especially one in which catering is involved, would be tables and chairs. When choosing tables and chairs for your marquee, consider the size of the tent you’re hiring, and the number of guests you want to accommodate. You can find a great marquee size guide here that highlights the number of guests you’ll get into them. Alternatively, why not simply drop us a line and we’ll be

Lighting and Heating
Lighting and heating are essential for any event, especially if you’re hosting it outdoors in a marquee. When choosing lighting and heating, there are a few things to consider. First,
think about the type of lighting you want. You may want to opt for more subtle lighting, such as fairy lights or candles, to create a relaxed atmosphere. Alternatively, why not consider something brighter but no less elegant and use some of our eco-friendly LED globe light sets, or stylish chandelier-style electric lights?

Or, you may want to go for brighter lighting, such as spot-lights or strobe lights, to create a more energetic atmosphere, especially if there’s a dancefloor involved! We have a great network of strategic partners who can supply professional lighting rigs and entertainment, so it’s worth getting in touch to ask about the great deals we can get hold of for you.
Marquee hire events often go on long into the night, and the temperature will definitely drop, so consider some high-impact heating space heaters for larger tents, or for smaller spaces a lightweight infrared heater will do the trick.
Your Event Cover supplies marquee heating and lighting to customers in Barnsley, Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and all of the surrounding areas, and these can be included within any of our marquee hire package deals.
