Why Bespoke Marquees Are The Future Of Outdoor Events

Outdoor events are changing. People expect more than just a tent over their heads — they want unique, stylish, and functional spaces that reflect their personality or brand. That’s where the benefits of bespoke marquees come in. From weddings and corporate functions to garden parties and festivals, a custom-designed marquee offers limitless possibilities.

Looking for help with wedding marquee hire, corporate hospitality, or private celebrations in London, Kent, or Surrey? Our experts at Cameo Event Hire have been creating personalised event spaces since 1992.

What Makes Bespoke Marquees The Future Of Outdoor Events

As event trends shift towards more personalised experiences, the advantages of custom-designed marquees are clear. They provide unmatched flexibility, style, and comfort compared to traditional indoor venues.

1. Unlimited Style & Design Options

When you choose a bespoke marquee, you’re in complete control. Whether you prefer modern marquee designs with panoramic windows or a classic lined interior with chandeliers, the possibilities are endless. We offer:

• Clear marquees for a bright, alfresco feel.
• Lined marquees for a sophisticated, insulated space.
• Unlined marquees for simple, budget-friendly coverage.

Your marquee becomes a personalised event space, tailored to your guest list, décor theme, and location.

2. Flexible Sizing For Any Guest List

From intimate garden party marquees to large festival marquee solutions, size is never an issue. Our marquee range includes widths of 3m, 6m, and 9m, with extendable bays to accommodate anywhere from 10 to 420 guests seated — or even more for standing receptions.

Example:

• 9m x 21m – 200 seated, 300 standing
• 6m x 15m – 80 seated, 120 standing

This adaptability means your venue can grow or shrink with your event requirements.

To make choosing easier, we’ve created a marquee size guide along with its pricing, with full capacity details — take a look before deciding whether a clear marquee, unlined marquee, or lined marquee is right for your event.

3. Comfort In All Seasons

Our weather-proof marquee features make events possible all year round. Quality materials keep interiors cool in summer and warm in winter, while optional flooring, heating, and ventilation ensure guest comfort regardless of the forecast.

We also offer starlight linings, blackout panels, and lighting options that work in any weather — perfect for both day and night functions.

Key Benefits Of Bespoke Marquees

The benefits of bespoke marquees go far beyond aesthetics. Here’s why they’re becoming the preferred choice for outdoor events:

1. They Transform Any Location Into A Venue

Whether it’s a countryside meadow, your back garden, or an urban courtyard, our outdoor marquee setup can turn it into a professional event space.

2. They’re Cost-Effective Compared To Permanent Venues

Bespoke marquee cost varies depending on size, style, and extras. Still, it often offers better value than hiring a traditional building — especially when you factor in the flexibility to host on private land.

3. They Offer Creative Freedom

Unlike fixed venues, bespoke marquees let you choose layouts, colour schemes, furniture, and lighting to match your exact vision. This makes them ideal for:

• Corporate event marquees with branded décor.
• Themed weddings with unique floor plans.
• VIP festival lounges with tailored styling.

Sustainability And The Modern Marquee Solution

Sustainability is becoming a priority for many event organisers. Our sustainable marquee solutions include reusable structures, energy-efficient lighting, and minimal site impact — ensuring you can host a memorable event while reducing your carbon footprint.
