PALMERSTON NORTH · FEILDING · MANAWATŪ
Marquee hire
Manawatū
Bring your wedding, celebration or corporate event together with marquee and stretch tent hire in Manawatū. We help plan covered spaces in Palmerston North, Feilding and surrounding rural communities, with enquiries also welcome from Whanganui, Bulls and Marton. Ants & Anna Reid and the team will work through your guest numbers, venue access, layout and weather options, then tailor a quote for delivery, installation and the equipment your event needs.
Planned for Manawatū’s open spaces
An open paddock, a private garden and a town venue each need a different approach. We check ground conditions, wind exposure, access and the space available for rigging before confirming a setup. Waterproof fabric and flexible sides help create shelter, while flooring and heating options can be discussed for your event. We’ll allow for the usable space lost when sides are lowered.
A different kind of marquee
More than a roof
over your heads.
Create a welcoming covered space for a Palmerston North function, a Feilding garden celebration or a rural Manawatū event, with a layout planned around your site.
A stretch tent combines the coverage of a marquee with the softness of an open-air celebration. Its sculptural shape can be adapted to the surroundings, giving you a beautiful place to gather without losing what makes the location special.
Effortlessly elegant.
Soft, flowing lines create an atmosphere that feels warm, considered and completely different from a conventional box-shaped marquee.
Made for your space.
Suitable for many lawns, gardens, rural settings and outdoor spaces, with different rigging options depending on the site.
Ready for the elements.
Waterproof fabric and flexible side options help make outdoor celebrations practical. We’ll discuss weather plans and site conditions with you.

A few useful answers.
Every site and event is different. These are some of the questions that come up most often.
Do you offer marquee hire throughout Manawatū?
We welcome event enquiries from Palmerston North, Feilding, Whanganui, Bulls and Marton. Delivery, access, travel and installation are quoted for your specific venue.
How do you plan for weather at a Manawatū event?
An open paddock, a private garden and a town venue each need a different approach. We check ground conditions, wind exposure, access and the space available for rigging before confirming a setup. Waterproof fabric and flexible sides help create shelter, while flooring and heating options can be discussed for your event. We’ll allow for the usable space lost when sides are lowered.
How far in advance should we book a wedding marquee?
Get in touch once you have an event date and likely venue. Popular dates can book ahead, so an early enquiry gives us time to discuss the available options.
Do you provide lighting, furniture or flooring?
We can discuss lighting, tables, seating, flooring and heating as part of your tailored quote, including options arranged through equipment-hire partners. Availability and suitability are confirmed for your event.
Can we use a stretch tent with one or more sides down?
Many stretch tent setups can be rigged with sides down for added shelter. This reduces usable floor area, so we’ll plan the tent size and layout around the likely weather options.
