Let your event shine with a clear marquee

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect venue that seamlessly blends the beauty of the outdoors with the comfort of indoor celebrations, look no further than clear roof marquees. As an experienced marquee hire company, we’ve seen first-hand how these stunning structures can elevate any occasion.

Clear marquees (see through) are very popular choice when initially talking to our bride and party hosts. We are huge fans of the clear marquee (so are many celebrities!) as they are undoubtedly very beautiful, but there are several things that you need to consider for your party or wedding marquee.

Let’s take a look what makes them so appealing, and our tips to keep your celebration cool when the summer sun is blazing hot!

What’s the buzz about clear roof marquees?

Picture this: a crystal-clear canopy stretching overhead, allowing natural light to flood your event space while offering unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. That’s the magic of clear roof marquees!

Unlike traditional tents, these transparent wonders add an elegant touch to any event, whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or back garden bash. Plus, they’re incredibly versatile, providing a blank canvas for you to unleash your creativity and design a space that’s uniquely yours.

Marquees are modular structures, so design and styling can be really flexible. The see-through marquee elements could be used to create statement areas, creating the wow factor and giving guests something amazing to remember.

The all year-round appeal

One of the standout features of clear roof marquees is their year-round appeal. No matter the season, these marvels of modern design offer a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for your guests.

In the spring and summer, bask in the warmth of the sun as it streams through the clear roof, creating a bright and airy ambiance that’s perfect for daytime celebrations.

As autumn rolls in, watch the leaves change colour from the cosy confines of your marquee, surrounded by the beauty of nature.

And when winter arrives, stay snug and warm inside while still enjoying breath-taking views of the frosty landscape outside. We offer a range of heating solutions to keep partygoers extra toasty.

With clear roof marquees, every season is party season!

Beating the heat: tips for sunny days

While clear roof marquees offer plenty of benefits, they do come with one potential challenge: hot sun. But fear not! With a few simple strategies, you can keep your guests cool and comfortable even on the hottest of days and avoid a greenhouse effect.

Strategic placement: When setting up your transparent roof marquee, consider the position of the sun throughout the day. Opt for a location that offers plenty of shade during peak hours, or use additional canopy coverings to create shaded areas within the space.
Cooling solutions: Beat the heat with portable fans or misting systems. These handy gadgets can help circulate air and lower the temperature inside the marquee, ensuring that your guests stay cool and refreshed.
Lighting choices: Choose lighting options that emit minimal heat, such as LED bulbs or fairy lights. Not only will these options help keep the temperature down, but they’ll also add a touch of magic to your event décor as night falls.
Hydration stations: Keep your guests hydrated with plenty of cold drinks and refreshing beverages. Set up hydration stations throughout the venue so that guests can easily grab a drink whenever they need to cool off.
Split the design: Consider having one end of the transparent marquee completely clear but give the other end a traditional white PVC roof. This will help protect the guests, dancefloor from the sun’s strong rays, and will create interesting zones within the marquee too. Another option is to have clear ends and sides but keep the top covered, you keep the sun at bay but have the benefit of sunlight and panoramic scenery.
White all over: Alternatively, have the whole roof in white PVC. The gable ends of the marquees can be completely clear, as can all of the marquee walls and doors to make the most of natural light and beautiful views, but guests will be shaded from the full heat of the midday sun. Plus a beautifully dressed roof space can be stunning.
Sail away: If you do want all clear roof then one option is add roof sails. Roof sails look stunning in see-through marquee rooves. They add style and provide a little shade too. In the evening roof sales can be up-lit with coloured LED lights to create a beautiful effect.
Keep the flowers fresh: If you are having floristry, table centres or any other features that may wilt in heat, then it’s a good idea to arrange the latest delivery as possible with your suppliers. The less time your beautiful decorations spend in the warm, the better!

With these tips in mind, you can turn even the hottest summer day into a refreshing and comfortable affair that your guests will never forget.
