Marquee Trends 2023: Exploring The Latest In Event Tenting

With the limited amount of event spaces available at any given time in our space-constrained island nation, many event organisers have turned to tent rentals in Singapore, combining creative usage of decorations and branding to bring out events that offer just as much, if not more enjoyment then those held in convention halls and ballrooms.

Originally starting with one of their most popular and established applications being food events or ‘pasar malam’, event organisers have increasingly made some neat adjustments to repurpose event tentage arrangements to hold an exciting variety of events previously traditionally held in convention halls!

Below are some of the more recent events that see clever use of tentages and decorations.

 

1. Property launches

As more and more developments pop up in Singapore to house the growing population, property developers have resorted to setting up tentages in order to promote their launches physically.

Serving the same purpose as a convention hall, property launches held in tentages are now often air-conditioned and well-lit, providing a just as cozy environment in which prospective buyers can find out more about what could become their next dream home.

Larger tents can also house fully furnished sections to demonstrate the interiors of units these developers are trying to sell, providing a full walk-in browsing experience that results in being just as immersive an experience as a physical tour of the development, which very likely has not been completed.

 

2. Pop culture events

Going back to the first inception of Cosfest, a yearly cosplay event held by the Singapore Cosplay Community back in 2007, temporary event structures such as Marquees have become a staple and crucial installation at pop culture events such as those catering to gamers, western cinema, and anime fans. 

With big, expensive convention halls such as Suntec Convention Centre out of reach for event organisers looking to host a community event, tentages have proved an effective and budget-friendly solution to local pop culture enthusiasts looking to mingle and share their appreciation for their favourite franchises.

Such has been the popularity of these tent-based events that many technology companies have taken note of. Gaming industry giants, such as those dealing in gaming peripherals and pop culture merchandise, have begun setting up stalls, product reveals, and even tabletop game tournaments in these events!

 

3. DIY weddings

For those looking to conduct an outdoor, cost-efficient, yet accommodative wedding reception, tentages have been increasingly popular among new couples. With many ways to customise tents, such as with festoon and fairy lights, along with liaising with vendors providing tables and chairs rental in Singapore, an outdoor, tentage-based wedding reception can be just as, if not more unique than the standard ballroom and church setups traditionally used.

For those worried about the hot and humid weather that could potentially make the event uncomfortable, there are many versatile cooling systems available for rent to ensure a comfortable and joyous wedding experience.
