Why Add a Bar to Your Marquee Hire Set-Up?
When planning a marquee event, one of the easiest ways to enhance the atmosphere and guest experience is by including a bar area. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday celebration, or corporate function, a well-placed bar creates a natural social hub, encourages mingling, and adds a touch of style to the space. At South East Marquees, our bar hire options make it simple to design a setup that suits your event perfectly.
Creating a Social Focal Point
A bar naturally draws people together. It becomes a gathering point where guests can chat, relax, and enjoy refreshments in a comfortable, informal setting. When paired with our dance floor and bar options, it helps form the heart of your event space — the place where energy and conversation flow. Even at formal occasions, a bar can encourage guests to circulate and make the atmosphere more inviting.
Flexible Bar Options to Suit Every Event
We offer both the 5ft Drinks Bar and 10ft Drinks Bar, each designed for versatility and practicality. The modular structure means they can be used individually or joined together to form a larger serving area. They fit comfortably inside our Clear Span marquees and party tent marquees, giving you complete control over the layout and flow of your event.
Complementing Your Marquee Design
A well-designed bar doesn’t just serve drinks — it enhances the look and feel of your marquee. With the right styling, lighting, and furniture, your bar can match any theme, from rustic wedding receptions to sleek corporate parties. Combine it with marquee linings, marquee lighting and electricals, and tables and chairs to create a cohesive, stylish finish. During cooler months, marquee heaters and marquee carpets ensure your guests remain comfortable long into the evening.
Seamless Setup and Service
Every bar hire includes delivery, installation, and collection by our professional marquee hire team. We’ll handle positioning and setup so the bar fits neatly within your marquee layout, ready for service on the day. You can even combine it with our hard marquee flooring to ensure stability underfoot and a polished, professional finish.
