The festive season is almost upon us – think twinkling fairy lights, mulled wine, secret Santas, and plenty of mince pies! Christmas parties are the perfect way to celebrate the year gone by, whether it’s with colleagues, friends, or family. They’re an opportunity to spread joy, create memories, and give everyone a reason to sparkle just a little bit brighter.
And what better way to host a magical Christmas gathering than in a beautifully styled marquee? Here’s our guide to create a show-stopping festive celebration.
Why Choose a Marquee for Your Christmas Party?
Marquees are ideal because they’re versatile, weatherproof, and can be set up almost anywhere – your garden, a countryside venue, or even a city rooftop.
Our frame tents are fully water and windproof, and with the right heating, they’ll keep your guests cozy all night long. For smaller marquees, electric heaters are safe and efficient, while larger gatherings can enjoy the warmth of gas heaters, fitted with carbon monoxide detectors for safe, comfortable heating.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand festive extravaganza, our marquees can be customized to fit your vision. And if your guest list is growing? Multiple structures can be connected to create one impressive party space!
Christmas Party Themes to Wow Your Guests
This is where the magic really begins – deciding the look and feel of your celebration.
- Nordic: Picture large pine trees, fairy lights, garlands, and wreaths transforming your marquee into a rustic christmas venue.
- Winter Wonderland: Silver and white décor, sparkling snowflakes, crystal chandeliers, and a glistening Christmas tree for a touch of class.
- Three Kings: Our Arabian tents, with red, purple, or saffron linings, create a warm, exotic atmosphere. Add lanterns, golden Christmas trees, and Moroccan-inspired ornaments for a festive twist.
- Something Extra Special: Feeling adventurous? Turn your marquee into a James Bond casino night with martinis and glamour, or host a roaring ’20s Great Gatsby party with Art Deco décor, feathers, and sparkling chandeliers.
No matter your vision, there’s a style to make your Christmas party unforgettable.
Styling Your Marquee for a Magical Christmas
Your marquee’s interior sets the scene for your celebration. Choose from vibrant Arabian linings, festive reds and purples, or our Star of Arabia, a cream lining adorned with shimmering gold stars. Flooring options include coir mats, hard floors, or even plush carpets for extra warmth and comfort.
Lighting is a game-changer for Christmas events. Fairy lights, chandeliers, uplighters, candles, and lanterns all help create that magical festive glow. The right lighting can turn any marquee into a winter wonderland or a glamorous party venue.
Festive Furniture and Seating Ideas
From formal dinners to casual cocktail parties, the furniture in your marquee can elevate your event.
We offer everything from long banquet tables and Chiavari chairs to luxurious lounge seating adorned with cushions and festive ornaments. Lounge areas are perfect for relaxing with a drink, catching up with friends, or taking a break from the dance floor.
If you have a specific vision in mind, our in-house team can source or create furnishings to perfectly match your theme.
Decorations, Food, and Entertainment
Once your marquee is dressed and furnished, it’s time to add the little details that make your party shine:
- Decorations: From wreaths and garlands to thematic props, the details bring your vision to life.
- Food & Drink: Festive canapés, mulled wine stations, or a full sit-down dinner can complement your style.
- Music & Entertainment: From live bands to DJ sets, entertainment sets the mood for a memorable night.
- Outdoor Extras: Fire bowls, blankets, and outdoor seating can create cozy areas for your guests to enjoy the crisp winter air.
