You get to choose the venue
Hiring a marquee for a wedding means you get to choose where to host your wedding celebrations, full control over how it is decorated and costs. So if you want to hold a wedding in your garden then you can. It will also be easier to budget because you can choose how much your want to spend on decorating and preparing it for the wedding.
Marquees are ideal for wedding receptions
Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to conduct a wedding ceremony outdoors unless the venue has a special licence to host weddings. To get this licence the venue must be used to host weddings on a regular basis which rules out most people’s private gardens. What you can do is have the wedding ceremony in either a registry office, church or anywhere else of your choosing and host the remainder of the celebrations in your marquee. A marquee outdoors in summer will make a wonderful venue for your celebrations.
Your wedding marquee can be decorated how you want it
A wedding is a once in a lifetime event for most people and what better way to mark the occasion that in a marquee decorated in your own style. Hiring a marquee means you get to choose how it looks and your wedding photos won’t look like everyone else’s.
A marquee is a blank canvas
Our marquees are of course white so you won’t need to worry about your designs matching the décor of a fixed venue. You can choose the colours of the flowers and so on without worrying if they clash with hotel wallpaper.
The number of wedding guests is up to you
Sometimes wedding venues place restrictions on the number of guests due to space constraints. You can hire a marquee for a 100 or more guests as long as you plan for this prior to the wedding.
You won’t have someone calling time on your celebrations
Often with weddings in the UK, there are restrictions placed on how long your wedding celebrations can go on for. If this happens to be one of the best days of your life why be forced to end it early? If you host your event in a marquee you will not face hotel restrictions and as long as you don’t have the neighbours complaining you can party into the early hours.
You can use your own catering
Catering costs at wedding venues can add considerably to your expenses and are often fixed with wedding packages so you don’t get a lot of control. When you hire a wedding marquee you can use an independent catering company or someone you know in the business to come up with the and the type of menu you want without having to compromise.
As these seven reasons show, hiring a wedding marquee for your wedding is worth considering if you prefer lots of flexibility. You also get to enjoy the fresh air outdoors and even if the weather isn’t great there are plenty of solutions avaialable to ensure everyone is comfortable for the duration of the big day.
