FAQs

Planning your event

Our team can advise on structure size, layout and site requirements. Call 07908 009 266.

Speak to our team

What size structure do I need?

As a guide, 50 guests seated suits a 6m x 12m, 60 with dancing a 6m x 15m, and 120 a 9m x 12m. Our team will recommend a layout based on your guest numbers, catering and entertainment.

How do I build a hire enquiry?

Choose your equipment, enter the quantities and add it to your basket. You can review everything before adding your event dates, venue and contact details.

Do your hire prices include VAT?

Prices are shown excluding VAT first, followed by the price including VAT at 20%. Delivery, setup, any small-order charge and the final hire period are confirmed with your quote.

Can I hire a marquee and furniture together?

Yes. Add equipment from different categories to the same basket. If you need help working out the layout or quantities, include a note with your enquiry.

Do you deliver, set up and collect?

Our team can handle delivery, installation and collection. The arrangements depend on the equipment, venue and access, and are confirmed as part of your quote.

Where do you provide event hire?

SMH Events covers London, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Suffolk. Add your venue postcode to your enquiry so we can discuss the arrangements.

How are structures secured?

Our structures are anchored or ballasted to the manufacturer's structural calculations for the site, and we monitor forecasts in the run-up to every event.

Do you provide RAMS and insurance?

Yes. Risk assessments, method statements and public liability insurance documentation are provided for every booking, as required by local authorities and venues.
