  • Marquee Sizes & Layout Options

    At Coastal Canvas, we know that every celebration is different. That’s why we offer a range of marquee sizes to suit your space, guest count, and plans for the day.

    Flexible Fit for Every Site and Guest List

    We offer a range of pole marquee sizes, from 6×12m and 12×24m, with plenty of flexibility in between.  Each marquee is adaptable to your guest count and layout needs.
