Cathedral Glasshouse Tent
The cathedral glass marquee takes the glasshouse format to its peak: a strikingly high ridge (6 to 8 m), cathedral gables at both ends, an architectural black frame and full transparency. It evokes the great glazed naves of historic glasshouses and allows suspended scenography (chandeliers, floral arrangements) that no other event structure can take.

Structure & materials
What you need to know about your tente verrière cathédrale
The cathedral glass marquee pushes the glass-marquee format to its peak: a very pronounced high ridge (6 to 8 m), cathedral gables at both ends, an architectural black steel frame and full glass transparency. It evokes the great glazed naves of historic glasshouses and allows hanging staging — crystal chandeliers, floral arrangements descending from the ridge, video mapping high up — that no other event structure can take. It is the monumental signature for the most ambitious weddings, prestige galas and brand launches that want a unique architectural wow effect.
Materials & construction
- Frame in reinforced matt black lacquered steel (120 to 150 mm profile) — dedicated structural calculation
- Full glass cathedral gables at each end — glazed nave effect
- Side walls and roof in 4+4 mm laminated toughened glass or high-density crystal PVC
- Ridge at 6 to 8 m, height under the eaves 3 to 4 m — exceptional vertical volume
- High-level staging anchor points (load up to 200 kg per point depending on configuration)
- Options: black technical flooring, architectural lighting at the ridge, high-power heating, centralised air conditioning
- Standard sizes: 6 sizes from 10 × 20 m to 20 × 40 m (200 to 800 m²) — 10, 15, 20 m spans, 166 to 666 guests at a seated meal
For which event?
Monumental signature wedding
For a wedding that must produce a venue effect unmatched in France, the cathedral glass marquee creates a vertical volume where crystal chandeliers, hanging floral arrangements and 4 m-high candelabras compose extraordinary staging. Capacity: 200 to 650 guests depending on size. Exceptional photogenics, particularly in the lit evening.
Prestige gala & foundation dinner
Major corporate gala, foundation dinner, patron's evening: the cathedral glass marquee offers the only demountable event setting able to rival a great heritage hall (Petit Palais, Cirque d'Hiver) in terms of volume and verticality. The result reads immediately for press and guests alike.
Brand launch & signature convention
For a car launch, a retail-brand convention or an ambitious luxury activation, the cathedral glass marquee allows vertical video staging, projections onto the glass gables, product suspensions or monumental décor. It is an investment, but also a guarantee of a distinctive image.
Reception at an exceptional estate
At a heritage estate — listed château, premier cru vineyard, historic park — the cathedral glass marquee acts as a temporary architectural extension of the spirit of the place. The nave height lets you continue the volumes of the main building with no break in scale.
What to plan for
- Ground: flat ground essential (slope < 2%), a perfectly clear installation zone. A load-bearing study is recommended beyond 15 × 30 m.
- Access: a heavy-goods track 4 m minimum, a turning area for an articulated lorry. A multi-lorry convoy on large configurations.
- Setup time: 2 to 5 days depending on size. Allow five days before at minimum on 20 × 40 m configurations (650 guests).
- Thermal: high-power heating essential outside summer — the inertia of such a high volume requires specific sizing (forced-air or coupled radiant floor heating).
- Hanging staging: plan the load calculation with your technical crew in advance — each anchor point is validated by our design office.
- Safety file: ERP / CTS always required, file submitted to the town hall. Administrative lead time to allow for in the overall schedule.

Our team supports event organisers across France with a complete tent hire offer verrière cathédrale. The cathedral glass marquee is the monumental version of the classic glass marquee: a very pronounced high ridge (6 to 8 m), cathedral gables at both ends, an architectural black frame and complete transparency. It evokes the great glazed naves of historic glasshouses and stands out as the most spectacular structure in the French event fleet. Designed for signature weddings, prestige galas and brand events that want a tall volume and ambitious suspended staging. We operate across the whole country, with teams that can be mobilised quickly to coordinate the setup, the access and the technical equipment. For an outdoor wedding, a corporate cocktail reception or a private reception, we size the structure, the guest flow and the technical options (flooring, lighting, heating, lining) to deliver a result that is durable, clear and consistent with your budget.
Our tente verrière cathédrale formats
Our cathedral glass marquees are available from 10×20 m up to 20×40 m and beyond, made to measure, with a black-lacquered steel frame, tempered glass walls from floor to ridge and exposed cathedral gables.
The ridge height (6 to 8 m) allows the integration of crystal chandeliers, suspended floral arrangements, trailing plants and highly ambitious lighting scenography that work in no other structure.
Possible equipment includes black technical flooring, an integrated stage, sound and lighting control, high-power heating for the volume, centralised air conditioning and plant dressing to amplify the architectural greenhouse effect.
Prices and budget for tente verrière cathédrale hire
The cathedral glass marquee is the most expensive structure in the fleet: the price reflects the complexity of the frame, the precision of the gables, the quantity of glass and the setup time. It sits at the top of the prestige range.
The quote is always drawn up bespoke after a technical site visit. Each line is detailed to allow clear trade-offs between surface area, thermal equipment and the level of suspended staging.
For a tent hire service verrière cathédrale in France, you receive a full estimate within 24 h including delivery, setup, takedown and logistics coordination.
Setup, installation and logistics for tente verrière cathédrale
Our teams handle the installation and delivery across the whole country, with a precise schedule agreed in advance with your reception venue.
Setting up a cathedral glass marquee takes 3 to 5 days depending on the size: lifting the tall frame, fitting the cathedral gables, glass panels, suspended equipment, finishing and tests. Heavy-goods access is essential.
The final check includes verifying wind stability (high ridge), the watertightness of the joints, the fixing of the suspended elements (chandeliers, floral arrangements) and the electrical safety of the stage equipment.

Everything to know before hiring your cathedral glasshouse tent
8 practical answers to prepare your cathedral glasshouse tent hire: capacities, prices, materials, logistics.
Both share the same aesthetic — black frame, full glass walls — but at two different scales. The classic glass marquee has a ridge at 4-5 m, capacity 60 to 370 guests. The cathedral glass marquee pushes the ridge to 6-8 m with glass cathedral gables at both ends, capacity 200 to 650 guests, and allows hanging staging (heavy chandeliers, monumental floral arrangements). The choice comes down to capacity and staging ambition.
Sizes run from 10 × 20 m (160 guests) to 20 × 40 m (650 guests). At a standing cocktail, you can go up to 800-1,000 people on the large size. For higher capacities, you move to a modular large-span structure or a cathedral + marquee extensions combination.
Allow 2 days for a 10 × 20 m, 3 days for a 10 × 30 m, 4 days for a 15 × 30 m and 5 days for a 20 × 40 m. The installation of the glass cathedral gables requires a dedicated team and a crane. This time must be built into the venue schedule (extended occupation of the site before the event).
It is the most upmarket structure in the French event fleet — comparable to the cost of hiring out a great heritage venue for an evening. The price depends on the size (10×20 m to 20×40 m), the level of finish (technical flooring, crystal chandeliers, architectural lighting, high-power heating), the duration and the access complexity of the site. As a guide, the ranges seen in 2026 for a turnkey service run from €15,000 to €30,000 excl. VAT for a 10×20 m size (160-250 guests) to €30,000-60,000 excl. VAT for the large 15×30 m to 20×40 m sizes (400-650 guests). The detailed quote is drawn up after a site survey: it covers the structure, transport, specialist setup, the safety file and the technical equipment. Request within 24 h.
Ideally, allow 3 to 6 weeks to prepare your event with peace of mind and keep your choice of options and equipment. In high season (May to September) or for a wedding, book 6 to 12 months ahead. For urgent requests, our teams can step in within 48 to 72 h depending on availability and the complexity of the project.
Our catalogue covers every format: glass marquee and cathedral glass marquee (signature prestige), orangery (grand-style prestige), marquee from 5 to 20 m wide, nomadic stretch tent (Berber tent) from 50 to over 500 m², transparent crystal tent, silhouette tent (sailcloth), bamboo marquee, reception tipi, velum tent, arched tent, modular pagoda tents (3×3 m to 6×12 m), pop-up gazebos, folding tents, rooftop tents, decked-platform structures, canopies, as well as demountable halls, storage tents and large-span structures for B2B uses. Capacity from 20 to over 2,000 people.
We operate across the whole of France, with priority coverage of the major conurbations (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nantes, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Lille, Nice…) and their outskirts within a 50 km radius. Transport and logistics coordination are included in every quote, with no hidden costs.
Yes, setup and takedown are always handled by our professional teams and included in the service: you don't have to provide labour or coordinate hauliers. Only transport charges apply, depending on the distance and the volume of equipment, and they are stated clearly in your quote, with no surprises.
