Clear Roof Marquees

When it comes to creating a unique space for a marquee wedding or party marquee then our clear roof marquees are the perfect choice. Clear roofs marquees create an impressive light, airy, stylish space. They also put you in the heart of your scenery enabling you to maximise a beautiful beach or countryside view, a stunning building or surrounding elegant trees. All these features become very much part of your day.

 

Fully clear roof marquees look amazing both inside and out and can definitely create a ‘wow’ factor. However we can combine both clear and white roofs. This can be a good way of defining different spaces within a marquee. For instance, you can have a lined marquee over your dining area and clear roof over the reception /bar areas or dancefloors – perfect for dancing the night away under the stars!

 

There are plenty of arrangements to choose from. We can also supply clear roof rounded ends to our marquees which can be positioned as an additional space on the side of a marquee (we call this a reception bubble!). Alternatively, you can create a more contemporary twist on a lined marquee by adding a clear gable end. It is a great way of allowing more light into your marquee and again taking in your surroundings.

 

Clear roof marquees are definitely a feature worth considering for your marquee. During a site visit we will look at your space, discuss how we could position your marquee to take in any views of features and importantly, chat through how you would like to use the space for your wedding or party. We’ll then work with you to come up with a layout the works for your site and your ideas!
