- Where will everyone sit?
- This is for our wedding, what will the Bridal Table look like?

- Can everyone see the bridal table?
- How much space do I need between each table for the waiters to get through?
- Where will we put the bar?
- Where will we put the dance floor?
- How much room does the band need?
- Where will the guests enter the marquee?
The best way to get started is a site visit. We will come to your chosen site, to meet you and discuss with you your vision for the event. No matter what type of event you are planning, corporate hospitality, a wedding, a birthday, we know you will find this tool to be a great help.
Following are several case studies, showing the plans and the finished event. Each one was planned perfectly and the hosts were confident that when the marquee arrived on the truck that everyone knew what was happening.
Case Study 1
The marquee was for a birthday party. The dance floor was in a marquee erected over a lake so meticulous planning was required prior to the event. A scaffolding platform was erected in the lake and the first marquee was put up on the platform. Then the main marquee went up next, followed by a marquee to house the toilets, and finally the entrance/kitchen was erected. This complex was for a customer who was fully involved in the planning. He required the highest attention to detail and the very best quality available. The marquees were located in a corner of a very beautiful garden and the Hyde Park Hire team had the utmost respect for this wonderful environment. The night went without a hitch – showing the benefits of proper planning and how Party CAD was so important in achieving the final result.
Case Study 2
This event was a summer wedding near Christchurch in a large garden. The family had several spaces available in the garden to put the marquee, and Party CAD was very helpful to them when they where deciding where to locate the marquee. Together we were able to measure the garden areas and scale the marquees onto the spaces in the computer. The wedding was fantastic.
Case Study 3
This marquee was for a wedding in a paddock beside the bride’s family home. The relationship of all the marquees to each other was critical. The entrance was through a narrow gateway from the garden and the guests parked their cars on the far side of the marquee and walked around the marquee to the garden, where pre dinner drinks were held. The marquee interior was kept a secret until the guests were invited to take their seats for the reception.
