Marquee Hire
Pricing.
Marquee hire costs in London vary significantly based on structure size, duration, location access, and the level of finish you need. A basic small-garden structure for 30 guests and a fully dressed wedding venue for 200 guests are both “marquee hire” — but the cost difference is 10×. This guide gives you honest ranges rather than the vague figures most companies publish.
Every quote we produce is fully itemised. You will see the cost of the structure, the flooring, the lighting, the heating, the furniture, the delivery, and any London-specific access charges — separately. No bundled mystery figures. No surprise additions when you receive the invoice.
No Hidden Charges
Every quote is fully itemised. Structure, flooring, lighting, heating, furniture, delivery, install, and derig — all listed separately so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Free Detailed Quote
We provide a written, itemised quote after a free site survey. No vague ranges, no surprises when the invoice arrives.
All-In Packages Available
For events where simplicity matters, we offer all-inclusive packages covering everything from structure to event manager in a single quoted figure.
Price Match on Like-For-Like
If you have a written quote from a comparable London marquee company for identical specification, we will match it.
Cost By Event Size
Cost By
Guest Count.
Small Events
Marquees for 20–60 Guests
Small marquees for garden parties, birthdays, christenings, and intimate events. Pagoda and frame structures are the most cost-effective at this scale — typically a 6×9m or 9×9m footprint. At this size, a basic hire includes the structure, simple flooring, lighting, and entrance door. Styling and add-ons are priced separately. Weekend hire for 40 guests typically starts from £1,295 for a no-frills structure rising to £2,500–£3,500 for a fully dressed installation.
Medium Events
Marquees for 60–150 Guests
The most popular scale for garden parties, birthday celebrations, and small weddings. A clearspan or frame structure typically 9×12m to 12×15m. At this size, most clients include hardwood flooring, a lighting package, and heating — these are the core extras that make the space feel like a proper venue. Expect £3,500–£6,500 for a well-finished medium marquee in London including structure, floor, lighting, and heating but excluding furniture and bar.
Large Events
Marquees for 150–400 Guests
Large clearspan structures for weddings, Asian celebrations, corporate events, and major parties. At 150+ guests the scope typically expands significantly — full interior lining, professional lighting design, climate control, bar structure, complete furniture, and often a stage or dance floor. Prices at this scale range widely based on styling ambition. A functional large marquee for 200 guests starts around £7,500; a fully dressed, styled venue experience for the same guest count is typically £12,000–£18,000 in London.
Wedding Packages
Wedding Marquee Costs London
Wedding marquees are the most complex and typically the highest-value hire we do. A full garden wedding marquee in London — covering structure, hardwood flooring, full interior lining, lighting design, climate control, furniture, bar build, and event coordination — typically ranges from £8,000 to £22,000 depending on guest count, styling ambition, and duration. This replaces a venue hire completely, with no corkage, no supplier restrictions, and no minimum spend imposed on you.
What Each Cost Covers
What You're
Paying For.
◻
Marquee Structure
Clearspan, frame, or pagoda selected and sized for your event. The structural hire is the base cost everything else builds on.
◇
Ground Preparation
Site assessment, levelling checks, and ground protection where required. Included in the survey process, no separate charge.
◈
Flooring Options
Hardboard base, parquet hardwood, matted carpet, or specialist surfaces. Flooring is one of the most significant cost variables after the structure itself.
○
Lighting Package
Interior festoon, LED uplighting, chandeliers, or pin-spot dining tables. Lighting cost scales with complexity — basic festoon to full theatrical design.
●
Heating & Cooling
Industrial radiant heaters for autumn and winter events. Silent air movement for summer. Climate control adds £400–£1,200 depending on structure size.
◆
Furniture Package
Tables, chairs, lounge seating, bar stools, and poseur tables. Furniture is typically priced per head at £8–£22 depending on specification.
⬡
Bar Infrastructure
Freestanding bar units, backlit shelving, and service area. A fully equipped bar structure adds £800–£2,500 to the total.
◉
Installation & Derig
Delivery, erection, event handover, derig, and site clearance. Always included. No separate labour charge surprises.
Pricing Factors
What Drives
The Cost?
Size & Guest Count
The single biggest cost driver. A 12×18m clearspan costs approximately 3× the structure cost of a 6×9m pagoda.
Duration of Hire
Most prices quoted are for a standard weekend hire (Friday delivery, Monday collection). Multi-day and week-long hire rates differ.
London Access
ULEZ charges, congestion zone fees, parking dispensation costs, and restricted access in inner London boroughs all add to delivery costs.
Season
Peak season (May–September) commands premium pricing due to high demand. Winter hire (October–March) is typically 20–35% less.
Add-On Packages
Flooring, lighting, heating, furniture, bar, lining, and staging each add to the base structure cost. These are the biggest variables in a final quote.
Styling Level
A functional well-lit marquee vs. a fully designed interior venue experience can represent a 2–3× difference in total cost for the same structure size.
