What to Know Before Hiring a Marquee in Auckland: Weather, Surfaces & Setup Tips

Hiring a marquee for your Auckland event? Great choice! Before the big day, here are a few important things to consider to ensure everything runs smoothly:

1. Auckland Weather Can Be Unpredictable

Even in summer, Auckland weather can change quickly. All our marquees are built to withstand wind and rain, but you may want to consider adding side walls or flooring for comfort.

2. Know Your Surface

Marquees can be installed on:

  • Grass: Secured using stakes straight into the ground.
  • Hard surfaces (e.g. decks, patios): We use heavy anchor weights to ensure stability.
    Make sure your site is flat and clear of obstacles.

3. Allow Enough Clearance

We require at least 1 metre of clear space around the marquee perimeter for strapping and setup. Measure your yard or venue accordingly.

4. Book Early

Weekends and wedding season book out fast. Secure your marquee in advance to avoid disappointment.

5. Setup & Pack-Down Is Included

Our team handles everything — from delivery to installation and takedown. You don’t need to lift a finger.
