Deposits & Payments

• Written quotations are available on request, but bookings are only confirmed once a signed booking form and deposit are received.

Site Information We Need

To provide an accurate quotation, please share:

• Number of seated and/or standing guests.

• Any restrictions on setup or takedown times.

• Carry distance between vehicle access and the marquee site.

• Whether the site is grass or hard standing, and if it is level.

• Any obstructions (trees, bushes, fencing, narrow passages, uneven ground).

• If the marquee is adjoining a building, which side it will connect to.

On the Day – Setup & Collection

• A contact person familiar with the event must be on site during setup to ensure everything is positioned correctly. If no contact is present, our crew will build in the most suitable location, and changes may not be possible once construction has started.

• On collection day, please ensure the marquee is cleared of decorations, rubbish, and personal items. A site contact is not required if access remains the same as setup.
