* All marquee festoon setups are subject to site survey. Pole quantities vary by ground conditions, wind exposure, and final layout design. External W-shape is a premium add-on for perimeter event lighting.
Each 15m run draws approximately 180W. Ensure adequate power supply or request our generator rental. We'll coordinate with your electrician.
We typically install festoon 1–2 hours before your event (or before marquee setup if using interior runs). Plan accordingly.
Our cables are UV-safe and rated for Brisbane's climate. All connectors are weather-sealed. We secure runs to withstand wind gusts up to 80 km/h.
If your power source is far from the lighting setup, request a heavy-duty extension lead. We stock up to 50m cables.
Upgrade to dimmable festoon bulbs for mood control. Perfect for receptions that transition from cocktails to dinner to dancing.
Ask about our WiFi-enabled smart timers. Set your lights to turn on/off automatically or control from your phone throughout the event.
Each 15m run spans approximately 12–15m between poles, depending on the tension and number of attachment points. For a W-shape or canopy layout, we typically space poles 4–5m apart to create multiple attachment points for even weight distribution and visual effect.
Absolutely! Festoon inside marquees is extremely popular. Our interior festoon runs hang from the marquee frame, creating a warm canopy effect. Fairy lights also work beautifully as delicate detail lighting for indoor receptions.
Our festoon runs are designed so that one burned-out bulb won't affect the rest. We carry spares and can swap any bulb on-site at no extra charge. Fairy light strings and LED washes are tested before every install.
Yes. All our festoon, fairy light, and LED systems are fully insulated, earthed, and tested to Australian safety standards. Poles are embedded securely with guy wires. We coordinate with fire marshals and venue managers to ensure safe installation.
Absolutely. Many premium events layer these: main festoon for ambient light, fairy lights for delicate detail on tables or around feature areas, and LED wash to highlight the dance floor or a feature wall. Contact us for a custom lighting design consultation.
Payment is due 30 days before your hire date. This secures your lighting equipment and confirms your booking. We'll send an invoice with full details upon quote acceptance.
Wind exceeding 60 km/h, hail, or cyclonic conditions may delay or suspend lighting installation. Force majeure clauses protect your booking — you'll retain your booking status with a credit or reschedule option. We monitor weather closely and communicate changes immediately.
Cancellations are non-refundable. We offer credits towards future events or rescheduling options at our discretion. Contact us immediately if circumstances change — we'll work with you where possible.
You are responsible for ensuring power supply access and suitable electrical connections are available. We can coordinate with your electrician and suggest generator hire if mains power is unavailable. Disclose any access limitations upfront to avoid extra charges.

I would 1000% recommend In Tents Events to anyone who'll listen! From set up to pack down, just incredible! Their marquee and dancefloor set up was incredible!
Joe and his team at In-tents events were professional, polite and prompt when answering any questions. Nothing was too much trouble.
We hired a marquee for our son's 18th birthday, and it was absolutely fantastic! The marquee was perfect — spacious, sturdy, and beautifully set up.
