Location, Location, and Endless Possibilities
Local or destination wedding? Consider travel for you and your guests.
We have lots of amazing venues which host marquees listed on the friends section of our website and are always happy to travel to find new places.
A new venue for us this summer is Gilmerton House in North Berwick and we can thoroughly recommend it if you like Scotland!
We also bring our marquees to many private homes, treating the property and gardens with respect.
Ceremony Style
Discuss your dream ceremony. Religious, beachside, or something unique? This helps you choose the perfect venue.
Outdoor weddings are becoming more accessible and are a popular choice. Lots of couples have opted to tie the knot surrounded by nature’s beauty.
We’re also huge fans of Bamburgh and find it’s the perfect mix of beaches, countryside and stunning backdrops for our marquees. If you’re interested in finding out more about getting married in Northumberland, check out this blog post
Marquee Options
Now, for the exciting part! Here’s why a marquee is the ideal choice.
Marquees can accommodate any guest list size, ensuring everyone has a comfortable and memorable experience.
Marquees can be surprisingly cost-effective compared to traditional venues.
Marquees are blank canvases. Create your dream theme, from boho-chic to elegant ballroom.
Marquees can be completely enclosed or have open sides, letting you decide how much of the outdoors you want to incorporate.
Marquees offer so much flexibility with catering options and entertainment. You can choose what you love!
Insurance Must-Have
Get wedding insurance for peace of mind once you sign suppliers contracts.
Enjoy the Journey!
Planning can be overwhelming, but it’s also exciting! Soon you’ll be tasting menus, choosing music, and saying “yes” to the dress.
Congratulations again!
We hope this helps you plan your perfect marquee wedding.
