We will always try and accommodate our clients who would like to see our marquees erected. When hiring a marquee for your wedding we understand that seeing a marquee standing up will give you a clearer idea of what you want it to look like on your wedding day.
We generally work out size of marquees needed on the basis of the number of seated guests and the style of wedding you are looking for i.e. Formal, casual, festival style? Remember in addition to fitting in the tables, you may also need to think about space for a dance floor, bar area, chill out area. We will always work on worse case scenario that everyone needs to be comfortably under cover should our unpredictable British Weather take a turn for the worse.
Absolutely, we always prefer to come and meet you on sight before giving you a quotation. It is so much easier to meet you face to face and get a real feel for your dream wedding. We will measure up, assess the ground and ensure we have all the technical info we need to give you an accurate quote.
Yes, when hiring a marquee for your wedding, there are number of different options with both the Capri and Matrix style marquees. We can show you pictures and layouts of the different shapes and discuss what will work best for you and your guest. Think about whether you might prefer round or long tables, will you be serving drinks beforehand, do you want to include a lounge area for your guests
We will discuss this with you at the time of booking to ensure we can meet your needs. Normally for a wedding we will put up your marquee 2 days prior to the date of your wedding. E.g. for a Saturday wedding, the marquee will go up Weds/Thurs and be dismantled Mon/Tues.
Hiring a marquee for your wedding is not the only element you’ll need to think about. We can supply all of your furniture needs and have photos on our web-site of the various styles and we can send additional pictures. If we don’t have something in stock we will always try and hire it in.

Living in the UK we need to prepare for all weathers! Our marquees are all water-tight and we assemble them with the sides on. These sides can be opened up or completely removed. We can also hire in marquee heaters for you should we be experiencing a chilli summer.
Depending on the power supply at your chosen venue, you might need a generator for your band and/or DJ and any other electrical supplies, like ovens/fridges/freezers for your caterers.
We supply a choice of lighting from uplighters to fairy lights, all of which we will go through with you in detail. If you want a romantic candlelit reception, we strongly recommend that you use battery operated candles which once placed in a glass lantern offer a very effective alternative to having open flames inside the marquee!
We don’t offer toilets or bathrooms ourselves, however we work with a number of companies that specialise in loo-hire and will be happy to make recommendations.
Where the marquee is in place for less than a week, there will be very little damage to the ground underneath. We always place ground sheets under any flooring we supply, this will discolour the grass over a weekend, however the grass will recover very quickly. When visiting the site we will ask for information regarding any underground services that need to be avoided.
Happy Planning!
Look forward to speaking to you soon!
