Marquee Events with SOCO
We Bring Marquee Events to Life
The marquee is just the shell.
The marquee is just the shell.
What happens inside? That’s everything
At SOCO Event Hire, we specialise in turning empty structures into fully realised event experiences – with considered furniture, seamless layouts, and a team that knows exactly how marquee events actually run.
Â
We don’t supply the marquee – but we work alongside the best in the business to make sure everything inside it looks incredible.
Â
Beautiful. Functional. Effortless.
Looking to Hire a Marquee?
Completely personalise your event
We help you make the right marquee choices for your event. While we don’t directly hire the marquee to you, we connect you with the best marquee providers in the business, the ones we know and trust. We will consult with you on what will suit your event based on size, location, style and more. Because the marquee is just the starting point.
What size suits my event?
What turns your marquee into something your guests remember?
- The furniture
- The details on the table
- The lighting as the sun goes down
- The way the space flows
- How it all comes together on the day
Â
That’s where SOCO comes in.
Â
We partner with trusted marquee suppliers to make sure your marquee wedding feels cohesive, considered, and completely effortless — not like a collection of moving parts.
How We Work
We guide your marquee event from the inside out.
When you’re planning a marquee event with SOCO Event Hire, we step in early to make sure everything is considered — not rushed or retrofitted later. We will guide you and support you to ensure you consider
Â
- Understanding the right structure for your guest count, layout, and vision
- Connecting you with trusted marquee suppliers we work with regularly
- Mapping your layout early — so every element has a place (and considering wet weather options!)
- Selecting furniture and tableware that works with the structure, not against it
- Thinking through the practical details — flooring, access, weather, and lighting
Â
We’re not here to just fill a marquee.
Â
We’re here to help you plan it properly — so it looks incredible, functions seamlessly, and feels effortless on the day.
Our Approach
Why experience matters in marquee events
Marquee events aren’t as simple as placing furniture in a room — everything is built from the ground up, and every decision impacts the next.
Â
With over 15 years of experience in marquee events, we understand how every element needs to come together.
Â
When planning happens in silos, things don’t flow and we see:
- Structures that don’t allow enough space for seating, service, or movement
- Layouts that look good on paper but don’t flow once guests arrive
- Furniture selections that don’t suit the scale or environment
- Weather considerations left too late — and felt in the leadup and on the day
Â
This is where experience matters.
Â
Our role is to bring it all together early — so your marquee event feels cohesive, considered, and completely effortless when it matters most.
Trusted Marquee Partners
We don’t do marquees — but we know them inside out.
Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with marquee suppliers we trust and genuinely enjoy working alongside.
Â
That means we can connect you with the right team for your event — and work closely with them to make sure everything integrates seamlessly.
Â
No crossed wires. No gaps. No last-minute surprises.
Â
Just a marquee wedding that comes together exactly as it should.
Â
The structure is just the beginning.
Â
Once that’s in place, this is where everything starts to come together — and where we really come into our own.
Â
We specialise in:
- Furniture that defines the look and feel
- Tableware that brings the detail
- Styling guidance that pulls it all together
- Creating spaces that actually work — think cohesive, considered event spaces
Â
Because a marquee isn’t the experience.
Â
What’s inside it is.

"It was such a joy to work with the team at SOCO"
It was such a joy to work with the team at SOCO Event Hire. From beginning to end, there was so much care and effort in ensuring our day would run smoothly with the marquee, furniture, tableware etc we hired. Everything was in pristine condition and throughout the entire process the SOCO team were so kind and were incredibly patient with all the questions I had. SOCO are incredibly organised and their products are amazing. They were so helpful and accommodating with some last minute hires and really made the extra effort to organise them for us. The set up and pack down was a seamless process I would highly recommend going to SOCO Event Hire for all your marquee, furniture and tableware needs, they are just amazing.

“We love working with SOCO!"
Charli at SOCO was absolutely amazing for my fiance and I. She helped guide us through the many different choices for marquee hire for our wedding. Graciously called us and talked us through packages and options, suggesting and giving us a fantastic and customisable quote. There was never any pressure to go with a certain option and it allowed us to design things how we would need them.
She provided expert advice on what the needs of our guests would be, eg. How many guests work per table (comfortably) and what good food storage solutions we might need.
She gave very clear and easy to understand explanations on how the delivery, setup and packdown procedures would work and have us a lot of confidence in her and SOCO.

"The quality products provided by SOCO are second to none"
What a dream it was to work with the amazing Georgia at SOCO! We couldn’t rave anymore about Georgia and the amazing products SOCO have on file. All our guests loved the outdoor furniture – think Amalfi coast meets Ralph Lauren country house. The Marquee looked incredible, especially the lighting – think chandeliers and disco balls all mashed into the most magical reception venue ever! We cannot fault the service Georgia provided, along with her amazing communication, care and concern. We didn’t expect Georgia to turn up on delivery day, but she was there making sure everything went well! The quality products provided by SOCO are second to none, and we cannot wait to arrange our next event with the team!
