Marquees are a blank canvas, and with the right styling, they can transform into anything from a dreamy wedding venue to a sleek corporate lounge. Here are 7 creative ways to style your Auckland marquee:
1. Play with Lighting
String lights, festoon bulbs, fairy lights, or chandeliers can completely change the mood of a marquee. Soft lighting works beautifully for weddings and evening parties.
2. Dress the Ceiling
Draped fabric, paper lanterns, or greenery hung from the ceiling adds depth and elegance to your setup.
3. Add a Statement Entrance
Use a 6 x 2m walkway lined with plants, candles, or signage to create a striking entrance.
4. Choose the Right Flooring
From wooden floors to carpet tiles, flooring helps ground your theme and provides guest comfort. Great for high heels too!
5. Define Zones
Use rugs, furniture groupings, or even lighting to divide your space into zones — dining, dancing, lounging, etc.
6. Use Clear or Panoramic Walls
Show off your surroundings! Especially ideal for garden weddings or waterfront views.
7. Personal Touches
Add a photo booth, custom signage, or flowers that reflect your event’s tone. Even a small marquee can feel highly customised.
