Marquee Wedding Venues – What are the Benefits?

Jon Green • April 22, 2019
Need a little help deciding whether a marquee wedding in a field is for you…let us help nudge you in the right direction!

If you or your family don’t have the space to host a wedding yourself… then choosing to hire a marquee wedding venues gives you all the space and so much more! You won’t be disappointed.

1. Wedding Marquee Venues – not just any old field.

In order for a wedding marquee venue to be regularly hired to host a wedding, the field has to have something pretty special going on. This is usually in terms of its location but most of all the surrounding landscape. Sea & coastal views make really popular venues, giving you a stunning back drop to your wedding day and of course photos too.

2. It is completely up to you what you do.

With a field site you can create your day from start to finish, from the layout and style of the marquee to choosing tables, chairs, bar, decorations, flowers or fun outdoor games. The space is yours to do whatever you want with!

3. You have complete control.

 You get to choose exactly who supplies what from caterers, to bands, dj, bar companies, photo booths and florists.  This can be really key when it comes to your catering and budget, whether you want to opt for hog roasts or a bbq to more formal dining, you get to put all the plans in place.  There are loads of great local caterers who can source fresh local produce and put together the most amazing spreads, for a real treat – take a look at our recommended suppliers listing to get you started.

4. Camping is usually available.

With most of the field sites there is the option to have some overnight camping…this might not be for everyone, but can be great if you want a festival style wedding enabling you to keep everyone together and have fun the next day. Nowadays there are plenty of glamping options too!

5. The Day after the Big Day

Many field sites give you flexibility to have a post wedding gathering the next day, so you can enjoy a 2nd gathering with friends and family if you want the celebrations to continue.


So whatever your ideas for your special day, think about having a field venue – with all that space you have complete flexibility to do exactly want you want to!
