THE IDEAL
MARQUEE
Which Marquee you choose to hire depends on how many people you are expecting and the space you have available. We can accommodate up to 1250 people, with marquees from 20 square feet to 200 square feet, increasing in 10 foot increments.
We have skilled craftspeople who can erect flat hard flooring or even staircases in most places allowing you to site your marquee where you want it.
We can provide space for dining, dancing, mingling round the bar, relaxed seating, changing rooms or breakout areas as well as space for entertainers or catering. Our marquees can also serve as extensions to a house, catering tents and walkways.
DOME
Dome Marquee: Top Hat Marquees designed and commissioned this unique style of marquee to give extra height and air to create more space for your event, party or wedding. These pictures show the Dome Marquee in High Wycombe, Tring, Gerrard's Cross and Harpenden.
CLEAR END
Clear End Marquee: This marquee maximises the light coming into your wedding, party or event. It will also make the most of your view or garden.
FRAME
Frame Marquees: These are constructed with no inner poles to ensure a good use of space with no obstructions. They are very flexible and can be arranged to fit many spaces.
OTHER
Other: There is a range of other marquees: The Chinese Hat with its pointy top; Semi-Permanent for storage or small extensions; Moroccan Tents for themed parties or interesting entrances.
MARQUEE
FLOORING
The key to a great Marquee is having a flat floor. Top Hat have built marquees in many different situations: in a sloping garden, on the side of a hill, between buildings, around garden features and on flat fields.
Whether you on the hills of High Wycombe, Amersham or Berkhamsted or the rolling countryside of Oxford, The Chalfonts or St. Albans our skilled craftsmen can construct flooring on any surface, even incorporating split level with stairs.
Call us to find out what we could do for you.
SUSPENDED HARD WOOD FLOORING
Suspended Hard Wood Flooring: We can make any surface flat. Made out of interlocking metal and plywood panels, suspended hard wood flooring can be covered by carpet. It is the perfect flooring for protection against waterlogged ground and to level an uneven surface. Top Hat Marquees are one of a very few companies who have a suspended wooden flooring system.
CARPET
Carpet: To add style and colour to your marquee we recommend recyclable contract carpet, chosen from a range of over 50 colours to cover hard floors. We cut and fit your choice of carpet to meet your design, sometimes using two colours to great effect. This carpet is recyclable and we return it to be made into pellets for reuse rather than sending it to landfill. On flat dry surfaces, carpet can be laid on plastic sheeting rather than the suspended hard floor.
MATTING
Coconut Matting: This simple, stylish floor covering is cheaper than having a suspended hard floor and is suitable for informal summer events.
DANCE FLOORS
Dance Floors: These are laid on top of suspended hard flooring to create a great space for dancing. Top Hat Marquees offer a range of dance floors from all white, wooden or black and white to fit well with your decoration.
MARQUEE
DECORATION
The marquee will help convey the style or theme you have chosen for your event. You can choose to open up the walls in summer, allowing the landscape around to be part of your decor while still enjoying the protection of the marquee or use windows on colder days for a similar effect.
Top Hat Marquees can be styled classically, romantically, functionally, funkily or lavishly. For an evening party it's very effective to black out an area and enhance it with coloured lighting and the starlight ceiling.
We dress the marquees with linings, carpet, lighting, furniture (our crystal chair is a favourite), catering and even entertainment to develop the look of your wedding, party or event. You then pick the table centrepieces, flowers and other items to complete the effect.
We are happy to help you through to create the atmosphere you want.
THEMES
Top Hat Marquees have created many beautiful weddings, parties and events that use colour and the surroundings to great effect. Have a look at what we have done for people across Bucks, Herts, Oxon and North London and talk to us about what we could do for you.
LININGS & SWAGS
Top Hat Marquees standard linings are pleated and ivory-coloured, an ideal backdrop for most styles. Alternatively we can use bespoke linings such as pink or even printed.
Linings can be set off with swags and roof swags available in a wide range of colours to suit the overall look of your event: pink for a pretty wedding, red to warm up a winter party, white for an elegant corporate event. We match pelmet colours or dangle broad ribbons of fabric from the marquee roof for a more unusual effect. Decorative swags come in a wide range of colours. Striped roof swags are a favourite for Bar Mitzvah marquees - in the right team's colours of course!
LIGHTING
Good lighting creates some of the most beautiful and dramatic effects inside marquees. The type of light will create mood, add colour and even contribute to your theme.
We recommend uplighters, in your chosen colour for general lighting but you may want to consider candelabra for an elegant wedding; night skies over dance floors; pinspots to highlight small areas, raffle prizes, seating plans; exterior floodlighting to bring your garden to life or illuminate access; parcans, powerful lighting to colour large areas; spotlights for speakers and hanging or Indian lanterns.
FURNITURE
Furniture is an important element in setting the theme for your wedding, party or event. We offer a range of chairs in different styles and colours that will enhance your design: crystal, silver, gold, black. These are matched with round or square tables. Sofas, seating cubes, small tables, cushions, bar stools & drinks tables create chill out or greeting areas. Have a look at what we have done and talk to us about what you might want.
MARQUEE
SERVICES
Top Hat Marquees helps stylish events run smoothly. To achieve this for your wedding, event or party, it is important to have services working well in the background. We can recommend reliable & professional caterers, waiting & bar staff, florists, photographers, bands & DJs across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Berkshire and North London. We ensure there is the space for them to operate, with additional catering marquees or an area masked off for laying out prior to serving, fridges to chill your drinks and power and wiring to make everything work. Talk to us about what you might need.
BAR
We offer a variety of different bars to fit with your style: mirrored, shiny, coloured and of a size to suit the event, party or wedding. We provide fridges to chill your drinks and pumps for draught beer. We can provide staff to operate it too.
CATERING
We are happy to recommend a variety of caterers to suit the budget, size and style of your event, wedding or party. We can provide extra space and electricity to meet their needs.
ENTERTAINMENT
We are happy to recommend bands, DJs and entertainers for your event, party or wedding. We can build staging and supply power & lighting for them.
STAFFING
We can help supply waiting staff to ensure food is served and cleared seamlessly.
POWER
Your event needs power. We often source this from your house, but if your wiring is old or unreliable or if caterers are cooking using electricity rather than gas, then a generator will probably be necessary. We also offer an engineer to manage any issues on the night.
TOILETS
These are an essential part of any occasion and we supply them to suit the size and budget of your event, party or wedding.
