Structure & materials
What you need to know about your tente verrière
The glass marquee is a fully glazed event structure — black lacquered steel frame and glass walls from floor to ridge — that transposes the aesthetic of the great 19th-century orangery glasshouses and monumental conservatories into a demountable envelope. Its look is architectural: slim lines, full transparency, a pronounced ridge. It stands out as the go-to structure for prestige estate weddings, corporate galas and receptions where the visual continuity with the grounds, the château or the garden must remain total.
Materials & construction
- Frame in matt black lacquered steel (80 to 120 mm profile) — architectural look
- Walls in 4+4 mm laminated toughened glass or 0.8 mm crystal PVC depending on configuration
- Full glazed roof, transparency ~85%, with perimeter drainage
- Ridge at 4-5 m, height under the eaves ~2.30 m — airy, light-filled volume
- Options: wooden flooring or black technical flooring, blackout curtains, internal blinds, radiant or forced-air heating, mobile air conditioning
- Standard sizes: 7 sizes from 10 × 10 m to 15 × 30 m (100 to 450 m²) — 10, 15 m spans, 83 to 375 guests at a seated meal
For which event?
Prestige wedding at a château or estate
The glass marquee naturally extends a château, a historic orangery or a formal French park. Guests move from the garden to the reception with no visual break, natural light passes through the structure throughout the meal and the slim black silhouette stands out in the photos without competing with the venue. Common size: 10 × 18 m (130 guests) to 10 × 30 m (250 guests).
Corporate gala & upmarket dinner
For a gala, a prestige dinner or a corporate awards ceremony, the glass marquee offers a refined architectural setting with no "tent" effect at all. Hanging florals, chandeliers and table staging are set off by the transparency of the walls and the rigour of the black frame.
Brand launch & signature client party
For a brand activation that needs to produce strong images, the full transparency makes the outdoor scenery (vineyard, grounds, architectural façade, seaside) part of the staging. The photo and video result is very different from a standard marquee or orangery.
Reception at a wine estate or landscaped garden
At a wine estate, a contemporary garden or a site with an open view, the glass marquee lets the landscape into the room. The effect is particularly striking at the end of the day — sunset, gradual lighting of the surroundings — where the transparency comes into its own.
What to plan for
- Ground: flat ground essential (slope < 3%). Black technical flooring is recommended to match the finish to the rest of the structure.
- Access: a track at least 3.5 m wide for the convoys — delivery of the glass panels requires careful handling.
- Setup time: 1 to 3 days depending on size. Allow two to three days before at minimum for configurations ≥ 10 × 30 m.
- Thermal: glass transmits cold faster than PVC canvas — radiant or forced-air heating must always be sized outside summer. In summer, ventilation or air conditioning to avoid the greenhouse effect.
- Photogenics: the cleanliness of the walls determines the result — final cleaning within the 24 h before the event.

Our team supports event organisers across France with a complete tent hire offer verrière. The glass marquee is a prestige structure that is fully glazed, with an exposed black metal frame and transparent walls from floor to ridge. Inspired by the great 19th-century orangery glasshouses and architectural greenhouses, it offers a tall volume, complete transparency and a highly distinctive visual result. It is the natural choice for estate weddings, corporate galas and receptions where the structure must engage with a chateau, a formal French park or a signature landscape. 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 formats
Our glass marquees are available in several formats (from 6×12 m to 15×30 m), with a black-lacquered steel frame and walls in tempered glass or crystal PVC depending on the desired level of finish.
Compatible equipment includes technical flooring, architectural lighting built into the structure (pendants, chandeliers), radiant or underfloor heating, air conditioning for summer and plant dressing to reinforce the greenhouse effect.
We confirm the site's suitability in advance: level ground, wide access for the glass modules and clearance around the perimeter to showcase the silhouette from the outside.
Prices and budget for tente verrière hire
The glass marquee sits in the prestige range: the price reflects the cost of the materials (steel frame, glass walls) and the precision of the setup. Allow a budget equivalent to an orangery for the same surface area.
The quote is drawn up bespoke according to the surface area, the thermal options (essential in the shoulder seasons and winter) and the level of interior equipment. Each line is priced separately to make trade-offs easier.
For a tent hire service verrière in France, you receive a full estimate within 24 h including delivery, setup, takedown and logistics coordination.
Setup, installation and logistics for tente verrière
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 glass marquee takes 2 to 4 days depending on the size: anchoring, lifting the frame, fitting the glass panels and commissioning the equipment. Lorry access and level ground are strict prerequisites.
The final check covers the watertightness of the joints, the stability of the frame, the testing of the equipment (heating, lighting, air conditioning) and the cleanliness of the glass walls before opening to guests.

Everything to know before hiring your glasshouse tent
8 practical answers to prepare your glasshouse tent hire: capacities, prices, materials, logistics.
The orangery has an opaque white or crystal PVC roof and façades with French doors: it evokes the great heritage orangeries and stays "grand siècle" in spirit. The glass marquee has a slim black frame and full glass walls from floor to ridge: the look is more contemporary and more architectural. Comparable budgets, an aesthetic choice based on the look you want (classic heritage vs contemporary prestige).
Standard sizes run from 6 × 12 m (60 guests) to 15 × 30 m (370 guests). Allow 2 m² per guest for a seated meal with a dance floor, 1.2 m² at a standing cocktail. Beyond 370 people, you move to the cathedral glass marquee with a higher ridge.
Yes, with suitable heating (radiant or forced-air), insulating flooring and blackout curtains as an option to reduce night-time heat loss. In the depths of winter, the heating cost accounts for around 15 to 25% of the structure budget depending on the area and the length of use.
The cost of hiring a glass marquee depends on the size (6×12 m to 15×30 m), the choice of walls (crystal PVC vs laminated toughened glass), the technical options (black flooring, heating, air conditioning, architectural lighting), the length of use and the service area. As a guide, the ranges seen in 2026 for a turnkey service run from €8,000 to €14,000 excl. VAT for a medium size (130-200 guests) to €16,000-30,000 excl. VAT for the large sizes (250-370 guests), delivery and setup included. Bespoke response within 24 h after a technical discussion.
The glass marquee fleet is smaller than the marquee fleet. For a high-season wedding (May-September), we recommend booking 6 to 9 months ahead. For corporate events, 3 to 4 months are usually enough. Detailed response within 24 h with the date, the location and the capacity.
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.
