Clearspan frame marquees, pole tents & pagodas.
Clearspan marquees are the most versatile and can be built on most surfaces, and we’re not restricted to grass. With an aluminium structure, the roofs & walls can be clear panels as well as hang decor & lighting from the canopy.
We also offer pagoda marquees which are ideal for small receptions, catering areas, relax spaces or entrances to a bigger structure.
Along with pole tents for a completely different feel.
We advise booking well in advance to avoid disappointment a year and possibly two for the best dates to be available.
A booking is only reserved once a 25% non-refundable deposit has been paid. We are busy in May-October so please book a year in advance to avoid disappointment.
We aim to be flexible with every client regarding the set up and removal of the marquee. This will depend on where and when your event takes place. Often if you are hiring a venue they may want the marquee installed the day before and removed the day after.
If the marquee is in your garden and you want to do a lot of the decorating yourself then it can be installed a few days before. We are always happy to leave the marquee in place for a day or so after the wedding for another informal get together which is becoming very popular.
With years experience of sizing event marquees, we like to ensure that there is enough room to accommodate all guests throughout the day/evening in case the weather is inclement and everyone is inside at all times.
Discussions about numbers for both day and evening and an understanding of what the marquee is to be used for e.g. ceremony only; ceremony then drinks, dinner, dancing; dancing only, will change the size requirements.
We can give 3D Designs for your event so you can make sure you have plenty of space for guests.
Standard finish for a wedding marquee is a wooden floor, windows, doors, lining, lighting and heating (with a carpet being down to personal choice).
After that the additional decor opportunities are endless.
A marquee can be erected almost anywhere although a flat, level, grassy site. Van access is ideal and would is more cost effective. It is possible to install marquees on difficult sites since specialised flooring systems and trackway can combat most site issues although there would often be cost implications.
A site visit can normally assess the feasibility and discuss requirements.
Marquee heating makes it possible to keep marquees warm throughout the colder months.
We calculate how many heating units are needed (for size of marquee) and can leave you with extra fuel.
Lighting and heating requires a small amount of electricity which can be drawn from a nearby building/house plug points for smaller events.
Depending on mainly the catering requirements and the band; a generator may be required. We would always recommend a second generator as a stand by unit due to the importance of a wedding day.
Most marquees are heated using indirect diesel heaters which sit outside and blow clean warm air through ducts and are thermostatically controlled. We can include heating in our quoted price and adjust the number of heating units supplied varying on the size of marquee, time of year and whether forecast.
A variety of marquee lighting effects are available – We can include a range of lighting effects including fairy light canopy, up-lighters, chandeliers, festoon lights all from our own stock.
