Marquees UNICO – colourful marquees with style and character

Marquees UNICO combine the practical qualities of a traditional marquee with a lighter, more colourful and distinctive design. The series is ideal if you want a functional event space but prefer something different from the classic white marquee.

With a sturdy galvanised steel frame, a lightweight 300 g/m² polyester cover with PVC backing and extra-large windows, UNICO marquees create a bright and inviting setting for weddings, garden parties, anniversaries, receptions and professional events.

Available in a selection of elegant colours and sizes, UNICO makes it easier to choose a marquee that complements the atmosphere and style of your event.

What makes a UNICO marquee different?

The most obvious difference is the design.

Traditional marquees are often white and use heavier PE or PVC covers. UNICO combines a strong steel frame with a lighter polyester cover with PVC backing, giving the marquee a softer and more refined appearance while still providing a waterproof event shelter.

The choice of colours adds another dimension. Depending on the model, you can choose from classic or more distinctive shades and use the marquee itself as part of the visual setting for the event.

Large Georgian-style windows also allow plenty of daylight into the interior and provide a better view of the surroundings.

Colour can change the atmosphere of your event

A marquee does more than provide covered space. Its colour, light and interior can become an important part of how an event feels.

A light or neutral UNICO marquee creates an elegant and understated setting for weddings and celebrations, while darker or stronger colours can create a more distinctive expression for garden parties, receptions, company events or special occasions.

When daylight passes through the cover and large windows, the chosen colour also influences the atmosphere inside the marquee. In the evening, lighting can create an entirely different effect.

This makes UNICO particularly interesting when appearance matters as much as practical function.

A bright interior with extra-large windows

UNICO marquees feature extra-large Georgian-style windows, allowing generous amounts of natural light into the marquee.

The large windows help create a more open feeling and make it easier to enjoy the surrounding garden or landscape while remaining sheltered inside.

For weddings, dinners and celebrations held during the daytime, this can help create a light and welcoming interior without relying solely on artificial lighting.

Decorative curtains add another visual element and can be used to create a softer and more elegant finish.

Use your UNICO as a marquee or open pavilion

The removable sidewalls provide additional flexibility.

With all sidewalls fitted, the UNICO creates an enclosed event space. On warm, calm days, individual sidewalls can be removed to open the marquee towards the garden or surrounding area.

You can also use the structure more like an open pavilion, allowing guests to move freely between the sheltered area and the space outside.

This makes the same marquee suitable for different occasions and changing weather conditions throughout the outdoor season.

UNICO marquees for weddings and private celebrations

The combination of colour, large windows and a spacious interior makes UNICO especially well suited to occasions where the setting itself is part of the experience.

Typical uses include:

• weddings and wedding receptions
• birthdays and anniversaries
• confirmations and family celebrations
• garden parties and dinners
• receptions and informal gatherings
• club and association events

Inside the marquee, you can add tables and chairs, flooring, lighting, heating and decorations to create the setting you want.

For an elegant celebration, decorative curtains and carefully chosen lighting can emphasise the softer and more atmospheric character of the UNICO design.

UNICO for company events and hospitality

UNICO is not limited to private celebrations. The distinctive appearance can also work well for businesses and organisations that want an event space with more visual character than a traditional white marquee.

The marquees can be used for receptions, company parties, hospitality areas, presentations, promotional events and other organised activities where both appearance and practical shelter are important.

If intensive professional use, frequent transport and repeated rental installations are the main priorities, one of our [Marquees PRO] may be the more appropriate solution.

For changing event sizes where modularity is essential, our [CombiTents®] provide another alternative.

UNICO compared with traditional PVC marquees

A traditional [PVC marquee] is a good choice if durability, repeated use and a classic event-tent appearance are your main priorities.

UNICO is the more design-oriented choice. It combines a lighter polyester/PVC cover with colour options, larger windows and decorative details to create a different visual expression.

If you need a stronger solution for frequent organisational or commercial use, consider [Marquees Semi Pro]. For intensive professional and rental use, [Marquees PRO] are designed for more demanding requirements.

The right choice therefore depends not only on size and budget, but also on how often you will use the marquee and how important its appearance is to the event.

Choose the right size for your UNICO marquee

Start with the number of guests and how you plan to use the interior.

A seated dinner requires room for tables, chairs and walkways, while a reception with standing guests requires less space per person. Weddings and larger parties may also need additional room for a buffet, bar, dance floor, music or other equipment.

Allowing enough space from the beginning gives you greater freedom when arranging the interior and helps maintain the light, spacious feeling that suits the UNICO design.

Accessories complete the setting

The right accessories can transform your UNICO marquee into a complete temporary event venue.

Depending on the occasion, you can add tables and chairs, flooring, lighting, heaters and decorative elements. The combination of the coloured cover, large windows and interior lighting provides plenty of opportunities to create a personal atmosphere.

For evening events, carefully positioned lighting can highlight both the interior and the distinctive appearance of the marquee from outside.

Assembly, anchoring and weather conditions

UNICO marquees are temporary structures and must always be assembled and anchored according to the instructions.

Use suitable anchoring for the ground surface and conditions, and make sure the roof cover and sidewalls are fitted correctly before use.

The polyester cover with PVC backing is waterproof, but weather conditions must always be taken seriously. Check the forecast before and during your event, and do not use the marquee in severe weather or conditions beyond those specified for the particular model.
