a case study of 2 indian marquee weddings
DESCRIPTION
Examples of 2 Asian / Indian extended wedding celebration feasts / events in a marqueeTRANSCRIPT
Bees Marquees’ case study of 2 Indian weddingsOur 1st example is a wedding that started for 400 and rose to 600, on a hotel estate, planned for a series of events over several days, thus making the ‘marquee option’ cheaper than inside a conference venue. That 1st example comes in at £39K (photos will follow in August 2015), the 2nd example at £29K, including a covered built floor, basic furniture, stock lining/lighting and toilets etc (power taken from building) – event photos included here!

CAD impression of the marquees as would be seen from the balcony
to give you an
idea of how this
setup would look
(it’s actually an
initially requested
size of 20m x
40m for the main
marquee)
Some generic background CAD mockups
View to main marquee with a
‘theatre style’ audience seated
for the ceremony

Layout plan for the 20m x 50m main marquee – showing 500 guests for dining in
the same marquee right after the ceremony (468 audience) – more guests could
be accommodated by clearing some ceremony chairs & laying tables in their
place before lunch is served (or just use a larger main marquee area)

Walkway from carpark
You could seat more guests
for dinner by clearing some of
the seating rows right after the
ceremony has finished
Walkway start,
car park end?
Just an idea: pagoda at the
start of the walkway from car
park – looks nicer and also to
relieve the bottleneck

This version contains a lot more than the previous versions but
we kept the price the same by removing the items which we don’t
own, allowing the customer to source them directly (or us to add
back later for an additional fee, if they choose) – toilets,
generators, heating, carpet/lino etc

The 2nd example is a wedding for 350 guestsAlso over several days, priced at £29K (in the end), including a covered built floor in all guest areas (including a changing area with cubicles), basic furniture, stock lining/lighting and toilets. The following slides are a summary of just some of the design changes; at each stage (we had almost 30 versions here) we’ll listen to your thoughts, requirements, preferences and (if feasible!) will redraw, requote and advise accordingly… we never get bored! Pictures only here – sparing you words & figures but examples of the quotes available

We started looking at the most affordable options to accommodate
the 350 guests (a 12m & a 9m span marquee), in all options shown
setup for a daytime ceremony versus an evening party layout
The initially suggested more lavish setup took their eye and we
subsequently developed this, with meetings & visits to revise
The previous layout developed into this (for a while)
Then it developed into this (even with a water feature around the stage)
Budget considerations kicked in a bit and we reduced 3 main structures to 2
Which became this
We tweak it on a familiar map overlay
We give them some visuals on a familiar photo
background & keep changing until everyone’s happy
Finally, the changes slow, the price is agreed and we hope they don’t
change their mind too many more times!
