Unlike other venues where a wedding reception can be held you have a lot more options available to you when you are trying to light a marquee. In fact when it comes to marquee lighting actually getting it installed is much easier than you would have first thought.
The kind of lighting that is installed in a marquee can dramatically affect the look and feel of the event. However, before deciding what type of lighting to have you need to carry out some checks in to the marquee hire company in relation to the marquee lighting they provide. Firstly is it regularly tested and checked to ensure that it works properly and do they insure their lighting. Secondly do they provide a secondary system to cover if the main system used to generate power for the lights happens to fail.
Once you have found the right company to provide the marquee lighting you need to next decide just what type of lighting you want in the marquee. In this article we take a quick look at just some of the types of marquee that are suitable for use in a marquee.
Fairy Lights Or Rope Lights " These are wonderful strings of lights which can be hung around the sides of the marquee both inside and out to create a more warm and romantic feel to the place. Certainly this is the type of lighting will be perfectly suitable for using to decorate a marquee where a wedding reception or anniversary party is being held.
With this type of lighting it can also be placed across the inside of the marquee roof and this creates an effect similar to a night sky. In most cases this type of lighting will have been situated over the dance floor in the marquee so giving it a more intimate feel.
Uplighters - If you want to create a warm feel at the edges of the marquee and to hide unsightly items then this type of lighting is perfect. However this type of lighting can also be used to help accentuate areas by having coloured bulbs put into them.
Chandeliers - If you are looking for marquee lighting that can create a dramatic statement this is what you should be considering. Ideally you should situate this type of lighting over the areas that need the most light say for example over the table where the guests of honour are seated.
Lanterns or Floodlights - This the type of lighting you use to help your guests make their way to the marquee and enter it. If you are intending to use such lighting then make sure that the plugs and sockets are well protected to prevent any type of moisture gaining access to them.
When it comes to getting marquee lighting installed it is important that you use the services of a qualified electrician. Certainly any reputable marquee hire companies will employ their own to install the lighting you have chosen for your event in the marquee.
