Who To Hire For A Wedding

Filed under: Weddings — Tags: , , , — John @ 12:43 pm

You’ve fallen for the man or woman of your dreams, you are crazy in love and the next thing you know you’ve decided to spend the rest of your lives together.  A large amount of planning is needed for a wedding and this is often forgotten or not taken seriously.  People always remember the vital things that need to be arranged like the location, the dress and the ring but other things tend to get forgotten.

The first step towards wedding bliss is to plan what you want what you need and what you can spend.  Budgeting for your wedding is a priority.  If the funds aren’t there to have the horse drawn carriage to your castle wedding then you may have to be a bit more realistic.  Arguments can often occur when working out the budget so be prepared to compromise.  The best thing to do is to plan a budget for each aspect of your wedding from the wedding day itself and the rings to the wedding reception and the wedding gifts.

Location is all-important whether you want a castle wedding or to get married at your local church.  You could have a wedding almost anywhere from a tropical beach to a football ground.  The other issues are the size of the venue, suits for the groom, best man, usher and pageboy, dresses for the ladies and how much champagne is needed for afterwards.

The next step is the wedding reception.  You need to find a venue that your guests can get to easily and that will have all the facilities you require.  A wedding marquee is a good idea if you are out in the middle of nowhere.  Hiring a marquee from a marquee hire company is a great idea because they offer a range of services.  A lot marquee hire businesses use PAT testing to ensure all their electrical equipment is safe in all conditions.

Depending on what the weather is like,hiring a wedding marquee might not be a great idea.  Many hotels offer wedding reception facilities as well as a place to stay.  An increasing number of wedding venues such as golf clubs can even provide you with a location for your wedding, the reception and accommodation for your guests.

Something that is often forgotten about when planning their wedding is the legal side.  Wedding insurance is vital as it protects you in case anything goes wrong.  Important things will be covered like if the wedding rings are lost or stolen, if the dress is damaged and if you have to reschedule your day due to an accident or illness.

Hiring A Marquee For Your Corporate Event

If you are holding a corporate event this summer why not hold it outside.  Providing the weather is nice, you will be able to hold your corporate event outside and this is something that will benefit you as good weather, wine and food will help to give a good impression and helps put people in a relaxed, friendly mood.  The one thing you will need is a Marquee as this will give you a place to get out of the sun and hopefully not the rain as well as providing you with a place to show presentations etc.  Hiring a marquee is simple you just need to find a good marquee hire company and work out what you require for your event.

You need to have an idea of the size of marquee you will need to hire as an example a 6m x 15m frame marquee can fit a few more than 100 guests standing, or about 60 where the guests are seated and a dance floor, with a larger marquee – e.g. a 12m x 24m frame marquee can fit around 350 guests standing or 175 people seated again with a dance floor.The easiest way to calculate the size of marquee you will require is to work backwards, you know how many guests you invited so from this we can calculate what size marquee you will require. 

The reputable Marquee Hirers use qualified electricians whom are specialists in installing power for outdoor events, often it is possible to link into the main fuse board of the nearest building and run a high capacity power cable to the marquee with a distribution board at the end, remember this should only be done by a qualified electrician.  If you are planning on using any portable appliences then it would also be a good idea to make sure that they have been PAT tested by a certified PAT Testing company as you don’t want any problems if it starts raining.
