Sailcloth Tents vs Tipis

Sailcloth Tents vs Tipis When beginning to plan your marquee wedding, there are so many different styles of marquees to choose from that it can be hard to know where to start. Twenty years ago the choice of marquees available was fairly stark. It was either a traditional pole marquee with a frilly lining or a modern aluminium and PVC structure. Both had their uses but they also required plenty of imagination and effort to transform them into warm, welcoming [...]

Testimonials

Yorkshire
I wanted to say thank you to you and your team for all their help in setting up and running our marquee. We had a wonderful, happy day. We were fortunate that the weather calmed down and it stopped raining in time for the site to dry out, enabling us to cut grass and have you erect the marquee. There were many compliments on the marquee and the decorations. All in all, we had a lovely day and the part you played in making it such is much appreciated.
Lisa - Bride, March 2018
