Marquee Hire have hundreds of marquees to choose from
Marquee Hire loved being part of beautiful bride Angela’s wedding to Neil on the 26th August 2017. Angela designed her own wedding dress, which we made to measure to fit her perfectly, in champagne satin and gold lace. From the moment we first met this relaxed and charming bride-to-be, Angela was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Providing the marquee for such a happy occasion and be part of making special couples dream come true. The finishing touches were chosen to add to the occasion, ensuring every detail was taken care of. As they were married in August, the floral designer put together the most glorious summer bouquets, table decorations and flower arch in gorgeous pink and white roses.
Angela and Neil chose to marry at St Lawrence’s Church in Lurgashall, followed by a relaxed reception in a stunning marquee from Marquee Hire Cobham.

With Marquee Hire Its Your Day in Every Way
WONDERFUL MARQUEES FOR WEDDINGS, PARTIES & OCCASIONS
Planning your wedding and need ideas for the perfect wedding theme and venue. With Marquee Hire Sussex, the professionals with years of experience you won’t go wrong. They offer excellent honest advice and can help make your dream a reality.
Here are some reasons why hiring a marquee from marquee hire Surrey is a great idea for a perfect wedding:
You’ll have plenty of time – if you have ever organised an event before, no matter what the size or nature of the ‘do’ you’ll probably have felt pushed for time at some point. Organising venues, guest lists, catering, furniture and entertainment (to name but a few tasks) is very time consuming, so by getting started now ready for your 2015 spring, summer or autumn events you will give yourself the gift of time.
You can spread the cost of your event – when organising a family party or wedding it will help to ease the burden if you can spread the cost over several months. By booking your venue now and getting the deposit or full amount paid, you’ll then have plenty of time to replenish your funds ready for the additional costs of catering and entertainment.
You’ll get a better choice – by booking your events early it stands to reason that you will have more choice. Availability for any event venue or service is generally better when booking in advance. If you are choosing a marquee for your venue, you’ll have an improved choice of size and style on your given date if you book now rather than waiting until nearer the time.
You’ll get a better turnout – as soon as you have booked your venue you can start inviting your guests. The earlier you get your invites out, the better your turnout should be as people aren’t generally booked up for events that far in advance.

Our Top Tips For Your Wedding Reception Checklist
Our Top Tips For Your Wedding Reception Checklist
Marquee Hire have had years of experience in helping couples to organise their weddings, so we’ve put together a handy wedding checklist to help brides and grooms to make sure their wedding day runs smoothly. If you’ve planned for your wedding reception to take place in a marquee, then check out our wedding reception checklist (by no means extensive!):
- Choose the right style of marquee. This will vary according to the number of guests you are inviting and how you wish them to be seated – you’ll also want to make sure that your guests are sheltered from the Great British weather whilst they are enjoying their meal, so go for a walled marquee such as a Clearspan. Providing flexibility in terms of interior fit out and styling.
- Be sure that the marquee has a suitable power supply. It might not sound very glamorous to think about generators and electrics, but without suitable power, you won’t have lighting, heating, music or perhaps catering. Your marquee company should be able to sort the power supply for you but double check with them to make sure they know what they are doing. Can you imagine a Wedding where the lights go out? We can’t, so ensure that this area is thoroughly checked. We use our own ECA registered electricians to carry out installations on our behalf.
- You’ll also need to consider which flooring option you will go for – after all, many of your guests won’t be too happy if you’ve decided to just stick with the grass as your flooring option! Consider matting to the entrance and matting or perhaps a carpeted area underneath the dining tables and, a parquet or black and white dance floor. Alternatively a hard floor throughout should the ground conditions not be suitable for matting. See what options your marquee provider is able to offer you.
- Have you thought about lighting? Fluorescent strip lights won’t give a particularly romantic atmosphere, but chandeliers, uplighters and dappled lights will. You will need to think about the lighting options for the time when your guests will be eating as well as the lighting during the evening’s entertainment.
- Heating – you might be having a summer wedding, but with Britain’s unpredictable weather, your guests may start feeling chilly by late evening. Consider using a thermostatically controlled heating system which can be utilised if the temperature drops during the evening. Of course, if you’re having a winter wedding, then you’ll want the marquee to be nice and warm for when the guests arrive following the ceremony.
- Decorations. The way that the marquee is decorated inside can really help to reinforce the theme that you are aiming for with your wedding. Try to keep consistency with your wedding stationery, the dress and flowers, so consider these carefully when deciding on how to decorate the marquee. Most marquee hire companies will work with you to suggest some ideas and will help to put your plans into action.

Planning a summer special occasion party?
We were trying to plan the perfect party and had no idea where to start until a colleague recommended we speak to Marquee Chichester whom they had used in the past.
At first we were a little hesitant as we didn't just need to hire a marquee we needed big ideas to pull this function off. We were so surprised as they have professional party and function planners who shared their thoughts and ideas as well as being able to organise decor and catering all under one service. What a pleasure it was, we will definitely be using Marquee Hire in the future.
