Marquee hire in Melbourne typically starts from around $900 for a small backyard marquee and can range from $5,000 - $10,000+ for large wedding and corporate event marquees, depending on the size, style and inclusions.
The larger the marquee area, the higher the cost. For example:
Your final marquee hire cost will also depend on additional requirements such as flooring, lighting, furniture, heating, delivery and installation.
After more than 30 years in the event hire industry, we've found the best way to budget is to first determine your guest numbers and the experience you want to create, then design the marquee around your event rather than trying to squeeze guests into a space that is too small.
The size of marquee you need depends on your guest numbers, whether your event is seated or cocktail style, and whether you need space for extras such as a dance floor, bar, catering area or lounge furniture.
As a general guide:
One of the biggest mistakes we see is underestimating the space needed. A marquee might technically fit your guest numbers, but you also need room for people to move comfortably and enjoy themselves.
With more than three decades of experience installing marquees across Melbourne, we help clients create layouts that look beautiful while still being practical.
Yes, marquees can be installed on concrete, decking, artificial grass, asphalt, pavers and many other surfaces.
The installation method simply changes depending on the location. On grass, marquees are generally secured using ground pegs, while hard surfaces require specialised weighting systems such as water or steel weights to safely secure the structure.
Over the years, we have installed marquees in all kinds of locations including backyards, gardens, driveways, tennis courts, commercial spaces and private properties.
If you're unsure whether your space is suitable for a marquee, send us some photos of the area and we'll be able to advise the best installation approach.
Whether you need council approval for a marquee depends on the size of the structure, location, duration of installation and type of event.
For many private backyard celebrations, a temporary marquee may not require a permit. However, larger public events, commercial functions or marquees installed for extended periods may require additional approvals or engineering documentation.
Every council has different requirements, so we recommend checking early in your planning process.
With decades of experience working with Melbourne councils, venues and private properties, we can help guide you on what information may be required for your event.
Yes, quality event marquees are designed to be waterproof and provide protection from Melbourne's unpredictable weather conditions.
Professional marquees are manufactured using durable PVC roofing and walls designed to protect guests from rain, wind and harsh sun. Side walls also come as a standard inclusion for extra protection during cooler months or windy conditions.
A marquee is not just a backup plan for bad weather - it creates a comfortable, private event space that allows you to celebrate with confidence.
After installing thousands of marquees across Melbourne, we've experienced everything from summer heatwaves to unexpected rain. The key is choosing the right marquee size, installing it correctly and planning for Melbourne's changing conditions.
