For a reception, a very practical solution is the folding garden tent, also called a marquee. It is very easy and quick to set up to accommodate many guests.

Ready to install, the reception tent features a dismantlable structure, making it perfect for all your garden events. Often foldable, it’s designed to meet temporary needs, allowing you to enjoy great moments with family and friends. There are two main types of reception tents on the market: dismantlable tents, which are similar to camping tents, and umbrella-opening tents for quick and easy setup.

How to choose a reception tent?

When it comes to marquees, there are different shapes, roof styles, and colours. However, it is advisable to choose your reception tent based on the surface area and the number of guests you expect, rather than aesthetics.

The structure of a marquee must be stable in case of bad weather. Choose materials such as steel or aluminium with a good anchoring system on the ground. There are also crossbars that strengthen the structure.

We also recommend checking its UV protection rating to ensure you are protected from the sun’s rays.

Some models feature curtains with plastic windows that allow you to close the reception tent to protect it from bad weather.

How to arrange your marquee for a reception?

Once installed, you can dress your marquee with flooring (parquet, carpet, rugs), arrange your reception furniture, and fix lights and plants to the structure’s bars. It all depends on your preferences, tastes, or the theme of your "garden party."

Additionally, you have the option to add space heaters or a patio heater. If your tent is closed, it's better to use electric patio heaters as they don’t release CO2.

How to maintain a marquee?

Once your event is over, it’s important to properly maintain your marquee. Be sure to clean the reception tent thoroughly and store it in a dry place, such as a garden shed or garage, to protect it and ensure its longevity.
