1. You get to choose your venue.

All you need for a marquee wedding is a bit of space! This could be at home, whether that is your own or a parents, but if there isn’t room there are plenty more options.  Field marquee sites have grown in popularity over recent years and the best have something extra to offer, such as spectacular coastal or country views. When looking for a field location many people also head for a special location that holds fond memories, perhaps where they holidayed as children of first visited as a couple.

Take a look at our marquee venue sites in Devon and Cornwall , you might find exactly what you are looking for!  .  Because we know what works well, we don’t take on sites which we think don’t offer our clients something really unique. There are also lots of established wedding venues which use marquees to host receptions. In addition they often have accommodation available as well.  This means you get to spend the whole weekend with the people you love the most!

2. You get to design a marquee that suits your day.

You get to be involved in creating a space that suits your ideas for your day.  Choose a marquee company that enables you to be part of the design process so you get a marquee layout that makes the very best of your location, day and night.

4. You get to take advantage of a view – bring the outside in.

Marquees enable you to be within touching distance of your surroundings. So if you have a lovely view, don’t miss out, make sure you can see it all day!  Frame marquees are particularly good as they can be supplied with clear window walls and clear roofs, which means that you still see that fabulous view when you are inside the marquee as well.

5. A marquee is a blank canvas to create your own theme from start to finish!

Of course one of the major advantages of a marquee is that you can pick and choose your themes and colours as you don’t have to work with existing decors.  You can choose a modern style, classic, country, vintage or beach themes…the list is endless. Get creative and enjoy!

6. Less restrictions on the number of guests.

You get to choose your guest numbers with a marquee.  Whilst you do need to make sure that you have got the right size structure to accommodate everyone, essentially it is up to you how it works. So formal or informal, whatever your day or evening guest numbers a marquee is a flexible room which can be created in a size to fit your celebration!
