Why a Marquee for a Christening or Baby Shower?
A christening or baby shower is one of the first celebrations in your child's life — it deserves a setting that matches the occasion. A clearspan marquee with festoon lighting and modular flooring creates an elegant, intimate venue in your own backyard. No need to find a hall, no need to compromise on the venue.
Most christenings and baby showers are 20–50 guests, which is the sweet spot for our 6x3m to 6x9m range. The pagoda marquee is also a popular choice — the peaked roof creates a distinctive, elegant silhouette that photographs beautifully for these milestone occasions.
For baby showers, the 6x6m with Pack 2 (flooring and festoon lighting, $1,620) is the most popular setup. It seats 30 guests comfortably for an afternoon tea format, with room for a gift table and grazing spread. The flooring protects against grass and mud — important when guests are dressed up.
We deliver, install, and pack down across Brisbane and South East Queensland. Our crew is careful and considerate — we know these are family occasions where the house is full of people and the last thing you need is a loud, rushed setup crew.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size marquee for a christening with 30 guests? +
The 6x6m is ideal — 36m² seats 30 comfortably with room for a buffet table and gift area. Pack 2 ($1,620) adds flooring and festoon lighting for an elegant finish.
Can I have a marquee and a pagoda together? +
Yes. A popular setup is a clearspan marquee for dining with a pagoda alongside for the ceremony or cocktail hour. We can position them with a covered walkway between.
Is a marquee safe for a baby? +
Yes. Our marquees provide full weather protection — shade from UV, shelter from wind and rain, and a stable, enclosed environment. The flooring creates a clean, level surface.
How far in advance should I book for a christening? +
4–6 weeks is usually sufficient for christenings and baby showers. Weekend dates in peak season (September–March) should be booked earlier.
Can I decorate the inside of the marquee? +
Yes. The interior is a blank canvas — festoon lighting, draping, balloon arches, floral installations, and table styling all work beautifully. Our flooring provides a stable, clean surface.
What is included in a christening marquee hire? +
Equipment hire only — the marquee structure, walls, and any add-ons you choose. Delivery, setup, and pack-down are quoted separately. We bring everything — you don't need to lift a finger.
