KIND WORDS
but don’t take our word for it…
A marquee wedding is magic - but you’re building a venue from scratch. With most companies, the real work starts for them on install day.
With us, it starts the moment you book - we guide you through every decision, tell you want’s next before you even ask, and quietly tick every box you didn’t know existed. So on install day you’re not left scrambling thinking about dropping in power for the band.
We make sure your marquee feels effortless - without you carrying the mental load.
Questions? We’ve got the answers…-
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.
-
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.
