Choosing the right size marquee is one of the most crucial steps in planning your outdoor event. It’s all about ensuring comfort, flow, and that perfect atmosphere for your guests, whether you’re throwing a lively party or an elegant wedding.
To help you get started, we’ve put together this handy guide outlining our marquee sizes and their estimated capacities. Please note that these guidelines are intended to provide a good starting point. The ideal size for your event will depend on a few key factors:
- Your Event Style: A formal seated dinner requires more space per person than a casual cocktail party where guests will mostly be mingling.
- Table Layout: Long, rectangular tables (often called trestle tables) can sometimes be more space-efficient than round tables, but round tables can foster more intimate conversation.
- Extra Space Needed: Will you have a dance floor? A stage for a band or DJ? A bar area? Dedicated catering zones? These elements require additional square footage beyond just guest seating.
