People Usually Ask...

Setup and Take Down


What type of ground is suitable for setting up a marquee in Liverpool?

For the best marquees in Liverpool, choosing a location with relatively flat and level ground is essential. Our marquees can be erected on both grass and hard floors. It's crucial to avoid areas with noticeable slopes or troughs for the stability and safety of the marquee structure.


Can Marquee Hire Liverpool set up on any grassy surface?

While we can set up on most grassy surfaces, ensuring the chosen area has adequate drainage is vital. Grass surfaces, unless clay-based, typically provide suitable drainage. However, we cannot, under any circumstances, supply our marquees on soggy grass.


What should I consider if my chosen location in Liverpool is prone to flooding or waterlogging?

Suppose your desired marquee location in Liverpool tends to hold surface water or is known for flooding. In that case, it's essential to have a backup location in mind. The unpredictable Liverpool weather can change rapidly, and a waterlogged ground can pose significant challenges and safety concerns for marquee setups.


Can I get an assessment of my chosen location before the event?

Absolutely! We understand the importance of ensuring the perfect setup for your event in Liverpool. If you need more clarification about the suitability of your chosen location, our team at Marquee Hire Liverpool can assess the ground and provide expert recommendations to ensure a seamless marquee experience.


What should I know about booking slots for marquee setup and collection?

It's crucial to ensure we have clear access to the booking location during your scheduled time slot for drop-off and collection. Given our tight schedules with multiple bookings daily, any delays can disrupt other clients' events.


What happens if there are changes or issues with the scheduled slot?

If we need to reschedule and come out on an alternative date or time, or if we arrive and there's no one present at the location, there might be an additional charge. This fee helps cover our time and travel expenses. We advise coordinating closely with us to avoid such scenarios.


How soon before my event will the marquee be set up?

Typically, we aim to erect the marquee one or two days before your event in Liverpool to guarantee everything is in place and ready. However, in certain circumstances, such as scheduling conflicts or specific client requests, we can arrange a same-day setup.


When do you usually collect the marquee post-event?

Generally, we plan our collection for the day following your event and start collections after 12 PM. To facilitate a smooth collection, we kindly ask that the marquee be cleared of any debris, rubbish, empty bottles, or glasses. We strive for the marquee to be in the same condition as when it was initially set up.


I have a corporate event and need the marquee set up and taken down on the same day. Is this feasible?

Absolutely! We can accommodate such requests. If you anticipate such a need, we advise discussing this with our team before booking to ensure availability and proper scheduling.



Winter and Summer Months


Does Marquee Hire Liverpool provide solutions for events during the winter?

While our marquees are designed to withstand typical weather conditions, it's essential to consider the ground's drainage capabilities, especially during winter. If the grass is waterlogged, we recommend selecting an alternative location or considering a hard floor setup to ensure the safety and comfort of your guests.


Can weather conditions affect the setup schedule?

When adverse weather is forecasted, we might contact you to reschedule the setup day or time. This ensures the marquee's safe and smooth installation, prioritising both the structure's integrity and the safety of our team.


How is the temperature maintained inside the marquee during summer?

Our marquees naturally maintain a comfortable warmth in the summer months. On particularly sunny or warm days, we can roll up the marquee sides to allow for better ventilation during the day and quickly roll them down in the evening for a cosy atmosphere.


What about the temperature in the marquee during the colder winter months?

We recommend employing our specialised heaters for the chillier winter days. These devices discreetly circulate warm air throughout the marquee, ensuring that your guests remain warm and comfortable throughout the event. Please ask our team for more information on the heating we can provide.


Does the carpeted flooring option affect the marquee's temperature?

Yes, opting for our carpeted flooring not only provides an aesthetically pleasing, level, and dry surface but also enhances the marquee's insulation. This added layer aids in retaining warmth, elevating the comfort level for your guests.




What You Can Do

Are smoking and vaping permitted inside or near the marquee?

No, for the safety and comfort of all our guests, smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited inside and near the marquee. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this rule.


Can I use loose confetti or confetti canons inside the marquee?

If our carpeting or flooring is being used, we kindly request that guests refrain from using loose confetti or confetti canons inside the marquee. An additional cleaning fee will be applied if this rule is not adhered to. We appreciate your understanding to ensure the marquee remains in pristine condition.


Can we have food and drink inside the marquee?

Absolutely! You're welcome to serve food and beverages inside our marquees. However, we do ask that sticky sweets and chewing gum be avoided. For the benefit of all, we request that the marquee's interior be treated with care and respect.


What should we do about spills or waste?

We understand accidents happen. We ask that any spills are promptly cleaned, and before our team arrives for collection, please ensure the marquee is cleared of any rubbish, mess, bottles, cans, wrappers, glasses, or dropped food. We need the marquee to be returned in the same condition as it was initially set up.



Marquee Sizes


How can I determine the appropriate marquee size for my event in Liverpool?

The best way to assist you is by having a clear understanding of your event space. For a more accurate recommendation, kindly send us a short video or photos of the desired marquee location. The more details you provide about your event - such as the type of gathering, number of attendees, preferred seating arrangement (seated, standing, or a mix), and any additional marquee requirements - the better we can tailor our suggestions.



Pets


What is the policy regarding pets around the marquee setup area?

For health and safety reasons, it is imperative that any pet-related mess in the area designated for the marquee setup be thoroughly cleaned and, if necessary, disinfected before our team's arrival. Failure to do so might result in us declining to erect the marquee, and any deposit made would be non-refundable.


Are pets allowed inside or near the marquee during the event?

No, we have a strict policy prohibiting pets from entering or being around the marquee under any circumstances. This ensures the cleanliness and safety of the environment for all guests.


What if there is evidence of pets inside the marquee post-event?

Should we find indications of pets having been inside or around the marquee, additional cleaning charges will be levied. This ensures that the marquee is returned to us in its original, pristine condition and can be given to other customers.
