Choosing the right marquee to wow your guests

Hiring a marquee for your New Year’s Eve party is an excellent way to create an unforgettable event. Fortunately, at County Marquees East Anglia, we provide what we believe to be the best marquee hire in Essex. With a marquee, you’re not limited by space or location and can enjoy the added benefit of more privacy too.

Creating a memorable first impression

Once you’ve chosen your marquee, you can focus on making the entrance to your marquee as fun and exciting as possible. From bespoke signage to red carpet-style walkways, a well-decorated entrance will set the tone for the night and make sure your New Year’s Eve party is one to remember.
Provide a welcome drinks station
Upon arrival, why not treat your guests to a welcome drink station? Whether it’s an open bar or a staffed bar with themed cocktails a welcome drinks station will get the party started.

Catering options

Whether you decide on canapes, street food or a range of nibbles, quality food will probably be on the agenda for your New Year’s Eve party to keep your guests happy and their stomachs full. Why not opt for live theatre cooking for a particularly memorable evening?

Sound systems for the perfect party atmosphere

No New Year’s Eve party is complete without the music. You’re likely to want to opt for a high-quality sound system for both music and any announcements leading up to the New Year’s Eve party countdown!

Entertainment

If you want to really wow your guests you might consider additional options for entertainment, from live performers such as aerialists and circus-themed performers to coming up with fun games for your guests to enjoy, there’s many ways to bring entertainment to your New Year’s Eve Party.

Make sure midnight is celebrated in style- as the countdown is the moment guests will be looking forward to the most. Whether you have a large screen showing the London fireworks, fireworks of your own, or balloons dropping from the ceiling, you’ll want to make sure the countdown is a big moment of the night.

Decorations to bring your event together

Create a New Year’s Eve theme with festive colours and detail. You could always add a statement centrepiece to the countdown area and use seasonal foliage, metallic accents, and elegant table settings to build on the theme of your special New Year’s Eve event.

Final touches

When it comes to the final touches of your New Year’s Eve party, there’s plenty to think about. Since this is the one day of the year when we have a countdown, why not include a countdown clock or projection for midnight?
A photo booth is always a great idea to capture memories of the night too. Be sure to consider your lighting too, which can make a big difference to the overall look and feel of your event. You could set up a dance floor with a dedicated DJ or music area, or offer a champagne bar to toast to the new year- the opportunities to create an amazing night in a marquee this New Year’s Eve are endless.
