Things to remember when choosing an outside venue for your wedding or party
Here is a few ideas of things to think about when booking a venue for an outside event where you might need a marquee.
The Ground
When choosing a venue make sure that the ground the Marquee will be erected on is suitable, If you go to see the venue on a dry day make sure you ask if the area is liable to flood. As we all know the British weather is very unpredictable so you do want to be caught out! . The ground will also need to be as level as possible or tables will be on an angle making things tricky.
Power
A must for any marquee especially if you are having a DJ or Band is Electricity, If the venue is unable to provide power a generator is the only option. We have used alot of different generator hire companies and found that HSS Hire is very reasonable and easy to deal with.
Parking
A lot of the time people over look parking, People tend to get carried away looking at the site and forget the parking. Most people will drive to a Wedding reception or Party so you have to think that most cars will have between 2-4 people in it and these cars will have to go some where. It is allways best to find a venue which has either a gravel or tarmac car park so people don’t get stuck if it is a wet day.
Toilets
If you are looking at a venue where the toilets are not included in the package then you will need to provide your guest’s with suitable toilets. For Toilet hire the best in the business is A First Class Flush Please have a look at the website!
Hotels
Don’t forget most of your guest will be drinking so driving isn’t an option, There are planty of Hotels and B&B’s in Sussex so accomodation shouldn’t be a problem. It is best to contact the Hotels near your venue, if you say you are having a wedding near by you should be able to get a deal on rooms for yourself and your guests.
