Marquee Lighting
Lighting plays a huge part in how a marquee feels once the sun goes down. From soft fairy lights to statement chandeliers, the right combination can completely transform the atmosphere — creating a space that feels warm, relaxed, and beautifully inviting.
Below are some of the lighting equipment and styles we use to bring marquees to life, both during the day and into the evening.

Marquee Lighting FAQs
Most marquee lighting is LED powered nowadays so can be run off a local power source. Most houses would serve well. But f there is no nearby source of electricity, then a generator is needed.
Not really. Fairy lights work best when combined with another sort of light. Uplighters are common companions as they are unobtrusive and don’t draw attention away from the pretty fairy lights. Other options include lighting bars and chandeliers.
The most popular – and the most atmospheric – lights for clear roof marquees are festoon or fairy lights.
Yes!
Many thanks for providing such an impressive marquee. Thank you also for supplying the outside lights at such short notice. The extra night sky made all the difference
