Are you planning a smaller celebration?

Russ Sizer • August 11, 2023

The last few years have been a stark reminder of how quickly life can change. People's plans for celebrations have had to adapt, and it's no surprise that we're now seeing much smaller, more intimate gatherings on the rise. It's understandable why garden parties and low-key events are becoming increasingly popular - they offer the perfect chance to spend quality time with those closest to us in a relaxed atmosphere, far from the formality of a significant event.


The fresh air and natural scenery of outdoor settings can provide the perfect backdrop for a casual afternoon tea, barbecue, or picnic. Of course, ensuring that you have the right equipment to make your smaller gathering a success is vital. And that's why more and more people are big fans of marquees for small events - they're perfect for creating a cosy, comfortable space for your guests.


Celebrations are an excellent opportunity to spend time with those we love. Smaller events allow us to connect safely and offer plenty of fun and laughter. But even more importantly, they remind us of the importance of cherishing those closest to us - something we could all use a reminder of now and then.
