Frequently Asked Questions

Our Hampton Marquee is ideal for weddings, corporate events, parties, and private gatherings.

Our Hampton Marquee measures 9.7 metres wide by 21.2 metres long, with a ceiling height ranging from 2.1m at the side poles to 6.3m at the centre peak. It’s a spacious, elegant structure that suits a wide range of layouts — from long-table dining and cocktail setups to dance floors, bars and lounges.

Need help visualising the space? We’re happy to provide example floor plans or chat through what setup might suit your guest numbers and style.

The Hampton Marquee space delivers understated luxury — clean lines, high peaks and soft light combine to create a setting that is both sophisticated and welcoming. Exact capacity depends on your layout, furniture choices and any extras like a dance floor, bar, lounge area. As a general guide, we suggest optimal design capacity to be:

• seating layout – long tables – 100-140 guests
• seating layout – round tables – 80-120 guests
• cocktail style – standing – 180-220 guests

While you can fit more, this guide ensures adequate space for the bridal party, dance floor and band without compromising guest enjoyment.

Absolutely – consider it your blank canvas! Our Hampton Marquee features a stunning open plan layout, giving you the freedom to configure the event how you envision it. We also have a selection of add-ons like lighting and flooring to help set the tone of your event which we can install for you.

You are also welcome to add florals, lighting or other styling elements to make the space your own. However, due to insurance requirements, we are unable to install decor items ourselves so any styling installations must be carried out by your florist or stylist. We’re happy to discuss logistics with them directly.

We recommend booking 6-9 months in advance, especially for peak seasons (spring/summer weekends). Last-minute bookings are possible, but subject to availability. Get in touch to check availability today.

We’re based in Bathurst and service the Central West region, including Orange, Blayney, Oberon, Lithgow, and surrounding areas. Travel within 1 hour drive of Bathurst is included, and for events beyond that, a travel surcharge may apply depending on the location and access.

Yes – our Hampton Marquee is both waterproof and weatherproof. It’s designed to handle rain, sun, and moderate wind, with high-quality materials that keep your guests dry and comfortable. Clear or solid sidewalls can be added to fully enclose the space, offering additional protection from the elements while keeping the view open and the atmosphere inviting. In the case of extreme weather (especially high winds), we’ll work with you to make adjustments or set up a safe alternative. Your safety and experience come first.

We proudly work with a range of private properties, wedding venues and rural estates across the Central West. Our marquee is designed to complement established venues as well as private farms and family properties. We value collaboration and are always happy to liaise directly with venue managers to ensure seamless integration with site operations.

Central West Marquee handles all delivery, installation, and dismantling, ensuring a safe and seamless experience for your event. We hold $10M public liability insurance and follow structured installation and weather monitoring procedures.

We usually install the marquee 1–2 days before your event, depending on the schedule, access, and weather. This gives you and your vendors time to style and set up comfortably.

We’ll confirm timing with you in the lead-up to your event and work closely with your venue or coordinator to make sure everything runs smoothly.

We’ll need flat, clear ground with vehicle access as close to the setup area as possible. The site should be free of obstacles like trees, fences, or garden beds, and we’ll need at least 2m clear space around the marquee footprint to safely install and anchor the structure.

Importantly, because the marquee is secured with ground stakes, you’ll need to confirm that there are no underground services (like water, electricity, or irrigation) in the setup area. We recommend using Dial Before You Dig to check and mark any services ahead of time.

If access is tricky, the ground is uneven or you’re unsure about site conditions, just let us know — we’re happy to chat through options and take a look ahead of time if needed.

Sites must be flat, level, and free of major obstructions (e.g. rocks, steep slopes, tree stumps) or underground services (e.g. water, electrical or irrigation lines). If the site is unsafe for setup, we may not be able to proceed. If you’re unsure, we recommend a site inspection to ensure a safe and smooth setup on the day

We understand that occasional breakages happen, which is why a damage waiver is included in your administration fee. Minor incidental damage within that allowance is covered. However, any excessive damage resulting from negligence may be charged at full replacement cost.

We know that plans can change. If possible, please advise us of any changes at least 30 days before your event, in accordance with our hire terms and subject to availability. The sooner we know, the better we can assist.

Your safety is our top priority. Our Hampton Marquee is engineered for outdoor use and secured with heavy-duty ground stakes and ratchet straps for stability. In normal weather conditions — including wind and rain — it provides a secure, sheltered space for your event.

However, in the event of extreme weather, particularly high winds or storms, setup may be postponed or adjusted for safety. We’ll always work with you and your team to plan a safe and reliable event experience.

The Hampton Style Marquee is secured using ratchet straps and heavy-duty ground stakes, which are driven into the earth to anchor the structure safely and securely. For this reason, our marquee cannot be installed on solid rock or surfaces where staking isn’t possible. Before setup, we ask that you confirm there are no underground services (such as water, electrical, or irrigation lines) in the installation area. You can do this with through Dial Before You Dig. This ensures a safe and smooth setup on the day.
