What Size Marquee Do I Need?
Choosing the right size marquee is one of the most important decisions when planning your event.
Too large, and the space may feel empty. Too small, and your guests may feel cramped and uncomfortable.
So, how do you work out the right size?
Start with Your Guest List
When planning a wedding or seated event, we recommend allowing 12–15 square feet per person when using round tables.
For a buffet-style or cocktail reception, allow approximately 6 square feet per person to ensure comfortable circulation and adequate space for guests.
