Wedding Marquees

Your wedding day needs to be perfect in every way. With experience of more than 1,000 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.

Advantages of a marquee for a wedding

Every marquee is unique. Set up, temporarily, for a single occasion, they are a space apart from normal life, embodying the specialness of each event.

In addition, marquees are very flexible. In a marquee, anything is possible: long, square, L-shaped; romantic, classical, themed.... Bride and groom can stamp their character on an event in any way they choose.

Hiring a marquee also gives you the opportunity to welcome guests to a wedding reception at home at a time of your choosing. And to party until late if the neighbours are agreeable.

County Marquees supplies several different sort of marquees: flexible frame structures, romantic traditional style poled marquees, stretch tents and pointy topped Chinese Hat marquees. Which you choose will depend on your space, taste and budget.

Wedding styles

There is no right style for decorating wedding marquees.

Hanging things, especially greenery, from the roof of a marquee is currently very popular, often alongside strings of small fairy or larger festoon lighting.

A rustic look remains popular but it has evolved. Long, dark wood trestles tables are in favour, as are cross backed chairs.

Clear marquees look amazing, especially at night. But they are not always the most practical solution as they can heat up fast on hot days. Combining clear and opaque panels in a single marquee can be a good way to combine wow factor with reality. The classic white look also remains in favour.

Examples include this ravishing transparent marquee or this tent with hanging foliage. There are lots more in our wedding photo gallery.

Whatever style you select for the reception, it is possible to transform the atmosphere with lighting effects for an evening celebration. See this case study for an example.

Remember, it's your day. So the style is up to you.
