Marquee Hire is a company that has grown from a small idea into a successful enterprise with James Morris heading up the team. James saw the opportunity for marquee rental in Surrey and realised the potential. This young entrepreneur started with one marquees for hire and soon added many to his collection. Read about the recent interview for the South East Business Magazine.

We’re delighted to be featured over two pages in the South East Business magazine with our Managing Director, James Morris profiled in The Boss slot.

This mentions our values of ‘quality and expertise’ and ‘the speedy rise of Trafalgar Marquees with the impressive list of clients extending to The Army, MoD, the German Embassy in London, The Royal Society and Hyatt Hotels’. In her editorial, the Editor, Christine Rayner praises James’s ‘self-discipline, foresight and sheer bravado’ in setting up his business as a student, which was ‘a bold risk-taking step. It must have taken nerve to do so, yet it has paid off handsomely’.

Much of the work, he admits, involves “emotional occasions” such as weddings, funerals and high-profile business gatherings. And this requires careful pre-event discussions, to ensure Trafalgar provides what is required.

Wedding marquee hire is on the rise as they offer a more affordable and flexible wedding option and the same goes for party marquee hire.

No job is considered too big or too small. James and his team of 10 permanent staff (which can rise to 35 in the busy summer season) are happy to consider any approach for business, even the niche roles such as providing cover for part of the major residential and retail complex Number One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge, when there was a water leak.

With many reasons to throw a marquee party, from Weddings to Christmas, christenings to Bar mitzvahs or Bat mitzvahs, birthday parties, engagement parties and anniversaries might bring about some questions that we can help you answer. Marquee Hire Surrey are available if you have any unanswered questions.

Are the marquees safe?

Yes, our marquees are fully staked and weighted and completely fire resistant and weatherproof. They are made in accordance with EC safety standards. However to ensure a dry floor in wet conditions we would recommend that you have a hard floor.

How many guests can I accommodate in a marquee?

What type of event are you holding? Work out the number of guests, whether they will be seated or standing. Then you possibly need to add on space for dance floors, stages, reception areas. As a general rule of thumb you need 8 sq ft minimum per person for a standing event, 15 sq ft per person minimum if they are seated. Our advisors will be able to inform you of the size marquee you need.

Marquee flooring

Our normal flooring is matting – similar to coconut matting – which is a close weaved man-made fibre which is sufficient for most marquee surfaces. Friendly to high heels too! However we can provide hard flooring, which we would recommend that you cover with a carpet, if the surface requires it.
