Organising a Street Party?

Posted on April 13th, 2011 by admin-marquees-dw  |  Comments Off on Organising a Street Party?

With the Royal Wedding coming up, no doubt there will be plenty of keen neighbours organising street parties across the UK.

There is still time for most London residents to organise a party and get swept up in Royal Wedding fever thats spreading across the country.

Arranging road closure and party insurance are vital parts of a street party, alongside furniture, catering, bunting and balloons but none of that needs to be expensive. Road closure should be fee free – check with your local council authority.

Private Street Parties
But it doesn’t have to be as involved as you think – you may choose to hire a marquee, just in case the weather really isn’t up to it on the day, or you may simply decide to rent tables. With the rest of the neighbourhood pitching in, the chances are that you will have all the furniture and food you need. However, there are lots of companies with great deals right now, who can help plan even the smallest of street party, so that you can concentrate on the fun part – enjoying yourselves!

Sponsored Business Street Parties
There are a rather a lot of businesses who are hopping on the band wagon and using the 29th April as a fabulous excuse for promotion.

For those street parties that are organised or sponsored by business, a more formal approach may be required. This is where some inexpensive yet well organised catering and furniture companies can assist. There are also plenty of events management companies that will arrange everything on your behalf.
So there are solutions for everybody. Get the Union Jacks out with pride and start partying!

 

Benefits of Wedding Marquee Hire

Posted on March 26th, 2011 by admin-marquees-dw  |  Comments Off on Benefits of Wedding Marquee Hire

There are a huge amount of benefits to hiring a marquee, especially where outdoor weddings or receptions are concerned.

A marquee is a great way to hold a celebration under an unpretentious and very stylish canopy.

You can shelter yourself and your guests from the changeable British weather whilst maintaining a comfortable indoors temperature.

Some couples choose to hold the whole celebration within the marquee, whilst other couples opt to hold the reception, dinner and disco in the marquee after holding the ceremony at a church or alternative venue.

Celebrating Your Wedding Indoors, Outdoors
A marquee may be a temporary piece of architecture, but it’s a flexible option. You can theme the inside of the marquee and decorate it to suit your taste. It’s also a perfect option if you have lots of guests as some venues may not be able to house so many guests.

By erecting your marquee in hotel grounds or other type of building, the hotel can organise the whole day whilst you can be confident all of your guests can be seated.

A hotel will take on the catering, furniture hire, flowers and decoration which is a great option compared to choosing another type of venue, such as a historic castle, where you will be required to organise these things yourself.

The final thing to mention is that by selecting a hotel to house your wedding marquee, your guests have the option to choose to stay in rooms at the hotel. They may choose to use the car parking and other facilities there too.
