When it comes to a business event, everything has to be perfect – your success may just rest on it. From location to capacity, branding to lighting, everything has to be in the right place to impress clients and colleagues alike. So is it any wonder that finding the perfect corporate event venue can feel like a challenge?
But while sailcloth glistening in the sunlight is a reminder of a quintessential British summer wedding, more and more businesses are looking to the humble marquee to host their event. Why? Because it solves all of your problems.
From stunning locations to creating memorable moments, let’s dive into five reasons why a marquee is the perfect venue for corporate events.
1. Your event, your location
Unlike traditional brick and mortar venues, marquees can be set up almost anywhere – from your head office grounds and hotel lawns to private estates and rural locations. It’s a flexibility that gives you complete control over your business event. Whether it’s an end of year party, a brand birthday or a product launch, you can bring your marquee to a stunning location that reflects you, your brand and your values.
2. A blank canvas for your branding
When it comes to business, nothing is more important than your brand. It’s what makes you, you. Which is why it’s vital that your corporate event venue reflects everything about your business. While traditional venues offer some customisation, hiring a marquee for your business event goes one step further by giving you a true blank canvas.
Use hard flooring to create an air of class for a black-tie ball, add a dancefloor for an end of year celebration, or decorate with your own branding, banners and more to make the space unmistakably you.
3. A completely scalable space
Not only does a marquee offer complete customisation when it comes to décor and branding but one of the real beauties of using a marquee as a venue for corporate events is its scalability. Whether you’re planning an intimate team event for 30 colleagues or a large-scale corporate function for 400 guests, there is a marquee size to fit your guest list perfectly. No need to cram your team into a small function room – get a space perfectly tailored to the size of your event.

4. The power of the great outdoors
Opting for a marquee to act as your corporate event venue truly gives you the best of both worlds. While your guests can choose to sit inside, dining, drinking and conversing underneath the sailcloth roof, you can also harness the power of the great outdoors.
A marquee offers the perfect space to invite your guests to flow between indoors and outdoors. Roll up the walls of the marquee and create one space – both indoors and out. When partnered with a stunning location on a beautiful country estate or in a lush green field, you have a recipe for a truly breathtaking business event.
5. Memorable moments
Whether it’s an end of year ball or an awards evening, a marquee gives you the power to create truly special memories for your guests. By hosting your business event under sailcloth, you’re immediately setting yourself apart from others, creating a space that’s entirely you and your business – a space that will leave a lasting impression on clients, partners and employees alike.
