FAQ

How much does a marquee cost?

We have marquees that fit 30 people and we have marquees that fit 600 standing. So each marquee is a different cost. Prices start from $750 + delivery. For an marquee + event hire with 100 people you are looking at approx 6 thousand dollars.

How many people does a marquee fit?

We have marquees that fit 10 people and go up to 640 people standing (360 seated). We work with you to get the right marquee to fit your needs.

Where do we operate?

We are based north of Auckland in Warkworth, but we are happy to travel to most places from the Bay of Plenty to Northland. We are happy to meet to discuss your event either at our showroom or at your site (or over a coffee somewhere).

Do you have a showroom?
We have a small small showroom attached to our warehouse in Warkworth. This is my appointment only. To book at time please contact Kelly at hello@utterly.co.nz

Do you set up and take down?

Yes, as we deliver the event hire and install/ dismantle the marquee and flooring. We can set up your event hire for a small additional fee.

When will you arrive to put the marquee up?
We usually put the marquees up for weekend events on the Thursday or the Friday, and take them down again on the Monday or Tuesday. We are flexible though and work with your needs.

Allow 3 - 4 hours for installation and longer for larger marquees.

Do the marquees have any flooring?

We can provide flooring options for your marquees, including jute matting, dance floors and Profloor. Profloor is a grey plastic tile that clips together. We install all flooring for you.

How many guests can I seat around a table?

Our round tables seat up to 8-10 guests and our trestle tables can fit 8. For a head table we normally only use one side of the table. We can work with you to figure out the number of tables you need for your event.

What about the weather?

However much we can plan for a perfect event, we can’t of course plan the weather. Our marquees are NZ made, 100% waterproof and can withstand high winds. The walls can be on or off depending on the weather.

We do more than marquees! We have tables, chairs, cutlery, chiller trailers, bars, spit roasters, market umbrellas and glassware. We also a range of furniture being created for the cocktail party/ lounge area of your event.

Can you style/ decorate our event?

Do you do things other than weddings?

YES! We can help with your birthday party, dinner party, baby shower or your Friday night drinks. Warkworth is where we are based so we especially love being able to help the local area with all of their celebrations big or small.

Where can the marquees be installed?

Generally our marquees can be erected anywhere. If your venue is in a public space, a special license is sometimes required from your local council. Our peg and pole marquees must be able to be pegged into grass or gravel. Our Clipframe marquees can be installed concrete if required using concrete weights (which are an additional cost).

Our team install all of the marquees and we do not offer "dry hire" expect for our ezy up gazebos.

Marquees over 100m2 will require a temporary building consent from your local counsel. The client is responsible for this and we can help with the marquee details.
