Marquee weddings offer endless scope for creating your dream day, with countless options for design, layout, furniture, lighting, styling, catering, entertainment... However, being presented with so many options can be a daunting prospect, which is why at Bisley Marquees we’ll allocate you your own Event Manager who will be on hand to help guide you through the process of planning your marquee wedding.
The Complete Wedding Package
With so many elements to consider, using one provider to supply all the key components for your wedding can take away a lot of the stress. At Bisley Marquees & Hire Company we are able to supply your marquee, lighting, and furniture, as well as your luxury toilet hire, generator hire, and refrigerated trailer hire.
Clearspan, Traditional, or Oriental?
The type of marquee you choose can reflect your wedding style, whilst also optimising the space you have available. Clearspan marquees are open framed structures with PVC roofs and walls, which create a blank canvas for you to style however you wish. Clearspan marquees can be customised with panoramic windows, clear roofs and panoramic gable ends, peaked roofs, conservatory annexes and a range of beautiful linings including; ivory pleated, ivory flat, printed linings in bespoke Bisley Marquees prints, or starcloth ceilings.
Our Traditional marquees, sometimes referred to as Sperry Tents or Sailcloth Marquees, are made from canvas with a wooden pole structure and stunning high ceilings. We offer a range of bespoke printed marquee wall linings and optional window drapes for those looking to create a unique, stand-out space.
Oriental marquees are square pointed ‘Chinese Hat’ style structures, available in a range of sizes, ideal for creating additional space for chill out, drinks receptions, shade canopies, or as an entrance marquee.
The Site
When thinking about a marquee wedding, it is important to think not only about where you’d like your marquee to be located, but also where your guests will park, proximity to neighbours, accessibility for contractors, where the toilets can be sited, and space for your caterers. We have a range of flooring options available to suit every budget, from corn matting to boarded floor with carpet, or a fully levelled cassette flooring system. With our specialist FloorStak floor levelling system we are able to build marquees on uneven or sloping ground to the highest standard of finish.
A member of our team will arrange to meet you for a site visit to measure up, plan your marquee layout, and ensure that we can access your site with our various trailer units, vans and lorries.
We aim to set up your marquee several days before your event (usually on either Wednesday or Thursday for a Saturday wedding), so that you have plenty of time to add your personal touches. For your complete peace of mind, we’re available 24 hours a day during your event, and can be called at any time should you need us to keep things running seamlessly.
The Facilities
In addition to your marquee structure, there are a few other essentials you’ll require to turn your site into the perfect wedding venue. When booking your luxury toilet unit, always make sure that you let us know how many guests you’re expecting – and make sure to tell us if you’re having guests camping too, we can then recommend the most suitable size unit for your party. If you’re planning a Sunday event too, we offer toilet servicing so can ensure that your loos are cleaned and refreshed before you start round two of the party!
One perk of a marquee wedding is being able to supply your own drink, saving you on corkage - if you’re doing this, make sure you hire a refrigerated trailer to keep your drinks cool. All our fridge trailers are fitted with locks, so you can ensure your drink will be kept safe overnight.
Finally, you will need power. To ensure you hire the most suitable generator for your event we’ll always ask for the power requirements of your band / DJ, caterers, and any other suppliers, as well as taking in to account any items we’re suppling such as lighting, toilets, heating, or refrigeration. We are able to offer back-up generators for added peace of mind, this is something your event manager will be happy to discuss with you.
Creating A Unique Space
We understand that your marquee wouldn’t be complete without those little details that make your wedding stand out, which is why we offer a huge range of finishing touches to choose from. We have a range of stylish and practical chair and table options, dance floors, bars, lighting and linings - including a range of Bisley's own bespoke printed linings.
