Your wedding day

Your wedding day needs to be perfect in every way. With experience of more than 500 wedding marquees, we do understand that. So we aim to manage our part of your event professionally and efficiently so that you can enjoy your day.

The advantages of a marquee for a wedding

Marquees have a unique atmosphere. Set up, temporarily, for a single occasion, they are a space apart from normal life, embodying the specialness of an event.

In addition, marquees are very flexible. In a marquee, anything is possible: long, square, L-shaped; romantic, classical, themed.... The bride and groom can stamp their character on an event in any way they choose, unlike in a fixed venue where the decorative possibilities may be limited, and size and shape are fixed.

Hiring a marquee also gives you the opportunity to welcome guests to a wedding reception at home (without the mess of course) at a time of your choosing. And to party until 6.00am if you desire!

County Marquees supplies frame marquees suitable for from 30 to 880 guests. We also offer traditional style and Chinese Hat marquees. See marquees for more information on the different types of tents available. Look at marquee pricing to get an idea of the cost of your marquee.

Wedding styles

There is no “right” style for decorating wedding marquees. A classic white look with lilies is very popular. So is pretty and pink. And whatever style you select for the reception, it is possible to transform the atmosphere with lighting effects for an evening celebration.

Remember, it's your day. So the style is up to you. Please browse our photo gallery for ideas. Or see marquee decoration for a few suggestions specific to tents. And please ask us if you would like help.

Planning for wedding marquees

We take weddings seriously. We have experience of the problems that can arise so we take particular care to ensure:

• that the marquee can accommodate the proposed numbers
• that the chosen size will work with the layout
• that the layout and position of a marquee will function well with caterering, heating and electrical requirements.

We are happy to work with you to ensure that the right decisions are made to fit your circumstances.

See marquee pricing for prices and sizes; event marquee pricing for larger marquees; sample events for prices and equipment needs for different types of events. Or contact us to discuss your wedding marquee plans in more detail.

Marquee layout

Carefully planning the layout of a marquee is particularly important for weddings when the impression on guests needs to be absolutely right.

Issues you need to consider include:

• setting aside space for a reception area and buffet tables
• the position of the Bride and Groom, and the Cake Table
• access for catering staff
• should a dance floor be central or to one side

To help you establish the best layout, we have an online wedding marquee planning tool. This allows you to test out different layouts for maximum effect. Beyond this, we are happy to put our experience at your disposal when considering the layout options.
