Marquees made for main character momentsHampton Marquee Hire
Premium Hampton Marquee Hire in Christchurch and Across The South Island
With their sweeping lines, elegant peaks and soft, light-filled interiors, our Hampton Marquees bring a timeless sense of occasion to any setting.
Inspired by classic sailcloth-style marquees, their warm, relaxed aesthetic feels equally at home in sprawling gardens, vineyards and private properties, creating a beautiful backdrop that feels considered, inviting and effortlessly elevated.
We believe marquee hire should feel effortless. From styling, furniture hire and lighting to florals, signage and on-the-day coordination, our in-house team creates one seamless experience from start to finish. Simple ideas, strong relationships, and thoughtful execution come together to create celebrations that feel true to you and leave a lasting impression.
Where timeless elegance meets effortless celebration, with sweeping lines, soaring peaks and a beautifully light-filled atmosphere.
Soft, elegant and effortlessly inviting, our Hampton Marquees bring a timeless sense of occasion to outdoor celebrations.
With their sailcloth-style silhouette, graceful peaks and warm, light-filled interior, they create a space that feels romantic without being traditional and elevated without feeling overly formal. Set amongst gardens, vineyards or sprawling private properties, the Hampton becomes part of the landscape, creating a beautiful setting for long lunches, late nights and everything in between.

Our Hampton Marquees feature a generous 13m width, intentionally chosen to create a more spacious and comfortable interior.
The signature curves of a sailcloth-style marquee naturally draw the edges of the space inwards, so that extra width matters. It gives us greater flexibility with floorplans, furniture placement and guest flow, without the interior feeling restricted around the perimeter.
Available in three configurations, choose from 13m with one peak, 19m with two peaks, or 25m with three peaks.
The result is all the character and beautiful curves of the Hampton style, with generous proportions designed for celebrations that need room to flow.

Frequently asked questions
-
In New Zealand, most couples planning a marquee wedding budget from around $50,000 - $80,000.
We recommend budgeting for $15,000 for marquee hire + installation, basic lighting package, furniture and dancefloor for 80-100 guests.
Final cost depends on your marquee style, size, location, and any added extras like power, toilets or heating.
-
We’ll guide you through the ideal size based on your guest numbers, layout (seated dinner, cocktail-style, dancefloor, lounge areas etc.), and any extras like a bar or dancefloor.
You don’t need to guess - we create a custom floorplan for every wedding, so everything flows beautifully and feels just right (not squishy or sparse).
Think of us as your space stylists. We’ll make sure every square metre works for you.
-
No - this is a complete myth.
While it may seem like a blank canvas is the budget-friendly option, marquee weddings involve everything a venue includes (and more)—marquee hire, power, toilets, lighting, furniture, flooring, and a professional team. It’s about building your own venue from the ground up, beautifully.
-
Absolutely. Our styling, hire, and coordination packages are designed to work together - so instead of juggling 5+ suppliers, you can hand over the reins.
We’ll handle the layout, logistics, timeline, and set-up (with a clipboard and calm energy) while you stay present in the moment.
-
Ideally, 10–18 months out - especially for peak wedding season (Nov–Mar) when marquee dates book up fast. If your date is flexible or off-season, we may be able to accommodate with a shorter lead time.
That said, sooner is always better. Booking early gives you the best selection, plenty of time for creative planning, and peace of mind knowing the big stuff is locked in.
Not sure where to start? Reach out- we’ll walk you through the timeline and what’s realistic for your event.

We sure do! While we’re proudly Christchurch-based, we regularly style and install marquee weddings across Canterbury and beyond including Waipara, Akaroa, Lake Tekapo, Wanaka, and the odd wild hilltop or lakeside paddock.
We’ll chat through logistics, access, and travel as part of your proposal - so there are no surprises, just stunning views and a well-prepped team ready to bring your vision to life
-
Yes, in many cases it can! Our Nomad stretch tents are especially well-suited for sloped or uneven terrain - they’re flexible, anchored into the ground, and work beautifully with natural landscapes.
For clear marquees, we’ll assess the site to determine what's possible.
Not sure if your site will work? Just send us a few photos - or we can organise a site visit. We’ll help you choose the right marquee for the space, so everything feels safe, stylish, and seamless.
-
Once on-site, our team will be there for approx 4-8 hours depending on the size and complexity of the site. There will be 4-5 team members on-site for this duration.
-
Location: Remote or tricky sites (like farms or hillsides) can require extra logistics, transport, or permissions.
Marquee style & size: Clear marquees have a luxe look and a higher price point than stretch tents, and larger guest numbers naturally increase the size needed.
Setup, styling & coordination: Investing in full-service support adds ease and ensures everything looks and feels cohesive from the start.
What additional costs should we plan for?
Council consent (required for structures over 100 m² - we can do this for you)
Power supply or generator hire
Catering tent, service bars and lounge furniture
Toilets, heating and additional lighting
On-the-day coordination or pack-down labour
We’ll guide you through what you’ll need, so nothing gets missed and everything runs smoothly.
