If the event is outside, you can use large open-sided spaces or patio doors that let guests flow freely between the inside and outside of your marquee to escape rain or the scorching midday sun. hot, sunny day, you’ll usually have guests searching for some shade to cool off, especially to be considered if you’re located in an open area without any shade. Clear walls can also give the perfect outdoor feel and protect your guests from weather elements.

If you have a breathtaking view or beautiful flowers, then it’s worthwhile to incorporate those elements into considerations for styling. If you have a canopy that has a roof cover, large windows to let the entire view or the clear window roofs and walls for stunning views. What about lighting key aspects too? Consider putting string of lights from festoons and lanterns in the trees in the outside, or lighting up a nearby monument or a string of lights that guide visitors to get them there.

Also consider if you want spaces for relaxation as well as dining areas, for instance couches close to the bar area to allow guests to escape to. If you’re hosting an eat-in meal space between tables must also be considered. For plenty of room for the waiters and catering staff to move about. Also, to ensure an enjoyable service for guests.
