Describe the atmosphere with visible details
Choose a small set of reference images and name the features you like: a lined roof, a colour palette, table styling or the relationship between dining and lighting. This helps the team understand the brief without assuming every photographed item is part of a standard hire package.
For Peterborough marquee hire, ask which lining, dressing and furniture options are available for your date and suitable setup. State what a florist, stylist or another supplier will provide, then confirm the remaining items in the written proposal.
Make a styling specification
| Element | Decisions to record |
|---|---|
| Lining and finish | The agreed item, areas covered and any colour or configuration detail. |
| Tables and chairs | Types, quantities and whether covers, cloths or other dressing are included. |
| Flowers and features | Supplier, intended position, installation timing and collection. |
| Signs and displays | Where they stand, who supplies them and their relationship to guest routes. |
| Lighting | The agreed feature and the responsible supplier or operator. |
Coordinate installation before attaching anything
Ask the marquee team to agree any attachment, suspension or decorative installation proposal before the stylist arrives. Do not attach items to the structure or alter the lining on the basis of a reference image. A decorative feature must also fit the agreed access and equipment arrangement.
Plan the removal as well as the reveal
Record who removes flowers, signs, personal items and third-party decorations, and when that happens before marquee collection. Make the styling supplier aware of the venue access windows. Keep a final inventory so the event lead knows which items belong to each supplier and which need to leave with the host.
Compare the visible roof finishes
The first image shows an unlined roof and visible frame. The second shows a draped roof finish. Use the contrast to describe your preference; each event’s actual lining, furniture and installation are confirmed in its quote.
