What is a custom marquee?
A custom marquee is a temporary structure that’s tailored to fit your event requirements. Unlike off-the-shelf options, custom marquees let you control everything from the size and shape to the internal flooring and roof finish. Whether you’re planning a corporate activation, backyard celebration or a long-term site setup, a tailored marquee gives you the freedom to create exactly what you need.
Why choose a custom marquee?
Custom builds give you control over:
- Space planning for guest flow and capacity
- Layouts around trees, buildings and site constraints
- Finishes and branding to match your event design
- Integration with stages, lighting, HVAC and services
This flexibility suits everything from private celebrations to large corporate events, festivals and long-term site installations.
