Whether you really love them or rather loathe them, there is no avoiding those family gatherings. Birthdays, weddings and various other occasions which call for celebration also come with the added task of an extensive guest list, sometimes including family members which you only see at such events.

To make an event such as this go with ease you need to ensure all your guests are as comfortable as possible. For starters, ensure there is enough space and room to accommodate your guests. Looking into marquee hire for these events is a really good idea as it enables you to use an outdoor space as well as an indoor space.

At Premier Event Marquees we specialise in marquee hire for various events, no matter how big or small. So whether the event is in your back garden or in a larger venue there is a marquee hire solution to fit your requirements.Catering is also essential when having a family gathering as if there is one thing worse than a group of gossiping relatives, it is a group of hungry relatives. Ensure you know beforehand how many guests are coming so you can be confident there is enough food to go round. Buffets work best in these types of situations as people can help themselves and decide what to eat and when.

When deciding on a menu, try to keep a few staple food items but also throw in some food with a difference to add an exotic twist to the menu. This way you will hopefully please everyone and provide enough variety to impress. Vegetarians or vegans may have to be provided with suitable food.Drink is obviously one of the key elements to a family gathering so ensure you have a good selection, not forgetting a bottle of what Auntie Mabel likes. Try to monitor drink distribution so you can ensure supplies do not run out.
