Lighting

Décor

The ceiling of many of our marquees can be lined with silk draping, fitted to the marquee perfectly.

We have a range of flooring solutions, a wood grain finish, carpet or plain black form ply. Each floor system has it’s unique benefits. Our service team can advise you on the best option for your hire event.

Furniture

Dress up and theme your event with furniture. We have a large range of tables and chairs that can help make your dream a reality. Speak to our staff to advise and assist you with setup options inside the marquee that will fit your invited guests.

Accessories

Along with marquees and furniture, we can also offer staging, picket fencing, portable loos, bar units, podiums and cool rooms for your event. Staged seating is a special item that can be supplied as per your requirements.

Anchoring the Marquee

Marquees are temporary, lightweight structures.  When exposed to extremes in weather – like a thunderstorm or heavy rain you need the marquee to stay in place. We take safety very seriously!

We erect marquees on surfaces from grass to concrete, and need to anchor them properly and securely.

On grass, we use pegs if the venue allows, or weights if pegging is not an option. Typically venues like Sydney Botanic Gardens, Centennial Parklands and most public parks prohibit pegging so we always weight them.

Floor and Location

We can build marquees on almost any site. Before we provide a firm quote we will consider the following options.

• Is the site flat and level or is it sloping or uneven? Best results is a  ground condition of a tennis court
• Underlying grass or concrete also can affect the type of floor used. Soft spongy grass can result in movement of the floor and is very difficult to eliminate completely.
• The foliage around the site with overhanging branches can also limit the size of the marquee. In these circumstances, the trees may need to be lopped by the owner, before it is installed.

Prices on the site do not include the cost of flooring.

Testimonials

Dear Walkers,

It has been one week since we had the party. The party went very well. Everyone asked about your marquee, the glow chairs/table. I told them that I got it from you and I also said you guys were very professional and gave excellent service.

I just wanted to thank you for your support, excellent coordination and your setup team were super good!

Thank you so much and I will contact you for my next party. We are going to have it in December this year and I am just waiting for the date.

Thank you
Irene

To you and your team at Walkers ….. Firstly I would like to thank each and every employee I have dealt with during my wedding organisation. Reg and Regan firstly were so helpful and polite and lovely. Both helped with everything I asked making it seem not a problem every time I was told I would be called back or emailed I promptly was.

The boys that set up the marquee were efficient and polite. Also yourself for the extra effort of checking the site and being honest with what would work. At the end of the day, the sun was shining the marquee was a hit and the wedding was perfect. Thank you for your generosity with the bench seats there were needed and made a difference that was so generous of you and an unexpected blessing.

You obviously have great staff who are an attribute to your company. Please, can you read this to them so they are encouraged? I mentioned you guys in my speech and you come highly recommended from me. Please make sure you pass this on also to the boys that set up n removed the marquee!
Thanks again Racquel
