A marquee wedding reception offers a unique and customisable backdrop for your special day, which becomes the heart of your celebration. With the right setup and decorations, you can create a magical and unforgettable atmosphere.

Here are some ideas to inspire your perfect marquee wedding reception.

There are two main marquee types to choose from, depending on the style you wish to create, and the space you have available.

Traditional and Classic Elegance

A traditional pole marquee provides the classic English country garden party atmosphere. This is a beautiful marquee with central poles and guy ropes. The structure is 40ft in width with a range of available lengths.

The walls and windows are lined with a pleated ivory lining. These are the silky drapes which cover the marquee’s internal structure and also provide insulation.  Choose from flat, coloured or patterned options for roof and wall linings to suit your preferences.

Clear windows can also be added to make the most of stunning surroundings and allow natural light in.  These can also be fully removed in the event of good weather.

Modern and Flexible Chic

Frame marquees, also referred to as clear span marquees, are a highly flexible marquee option providing a modern, clear internal space with no visible support structures or poles.

Frame marquees offer maximum flexibility in size and shape and can be erected on any surface, available in 6m, 9m, 12m and 15m widths with unlimited lengths. They are built in 3 metre sections so are a hugely flexible option for sites with limited available space.

The wall panels are easily opened to let the fresh air flow. Clear windows can also be added to make the most of stunning surroundings and allow natural light in. Clear roof panels and gable ends are also available for frame marquees.

Silky draped linings cover the marquee’s internal structure and also provide insulation. Choose from flat, coloured or patterned options for roof and wall linings to suit your preferences.

• Dance Floor: A dedicated dance floor can be a focal point of your reception and encourage guests to let loose
