Fairytale Wedding Planning in the UK: Marquee Weddings

Marquee Weddings



I just love a marquee wedding. There is just something so special. I think a marquee wedding sets the tone for a magical
atmosphere, they're romantic and every detail from the start is your decision, making it unique to you both. You are in control of every detail.
So many couples are now opting for a marquee wedding as they want the freedom to have their special day in a location where they want. 


 For couples that love the outdoors then a marquee wedding is the perfect option. You can design your marquee from start to finish, just the way you want it and if you want your special day to connect with nature then a marquee is a great way of bringing the outdoors in.


Maybe you want to have your wedding ceremony outdoors too. This is all possible when you have a wedding celebrant to help you create your personalised and bespoke ceremony. There are no restrictions when using a celebrant.


We have some amazing wedding celebrants on the directory. Just click on the "Wedding Directory" at the top of the page and click on suppliers in your region. 


Forest weddings are becoming very popular. Can you imagine your marquee wedding set in the most beautiful tranquil forest? How amazing would that be. You can see why they are getting more popular.
Wrekin Forest Events in Telford have the most stunning grounds for your forest wedding.

As you know we can not rely on the great British weather, your marquee will keep you covered in case of any unexpected weather changes. Marquee weddings are perfect no matter what time of year you plan to have your wedding.


No matter what your wedding theme is you can create that setting with a marquee wedding.
Marquees have a blank canvas and so you can design the inside to match your wedding theme, no matter what your budget may be. 


You may have a big budget and can really go over the top, or if your budget is quite tight then you can buy in your decor to keep within your budget and it won't break your bank. Chandeliers, hanging flower arrangements, bunting, balloons, vintage props and rustic decor etc. Oh the choices go on!


You also get to choose your own caterer. This is my other love for marquee weddings.  You could have a hog roast, pizza, grazing tables which are becoming increasingly popular, unique mobile bars, ice cream carts etc, or maybe you would like a sit down meal.
 This is your very own unique space and the choices are endless for you to create your Fairytale Wedding.


I would advise you to hire a wedding planner if you are thinking of having a marquee wedding. Although all the planning can be done yourself, it's a lot of planning to be done on your own. Having a wedding planner to keep in touch with all your wedding suppliers to make sure your special day runs as smooth as possible will take away a lot of the stress and save you time.


Choose your location. Yes, no matter where you want to have your marquee wedding, you decide.


 Couples are getting married in their back gardens now, what a great idea, especially if you have the space.
There is no cut off time so your party can go on until the early hours, providing your neighbours are ok with this.


There are many venues that will also allow you to have a marquee on their grounds.  Couples choose to have their wedding ceremony inside the venue and then opt to have their reception in a marquee on the grounds of the venue. This is a great idea as you can also use the venue accommodation for yourself and your guests. You can find a list of wedding venues by clicking on the link 'Wedding Directory' located at the top of this page.


You can also ask farmers if they have a field that you could hire. I've known many couples that have asked farmers who own fields in the area they live. Some will let you hire their field for a small fee and others may offer it for free. It's certainly worth an ask.


Do you fancy hosting your very own bell tent hotel for you and your guests that will work great with your marquee wedding?
This is a great idea if you have hired a field for your marquee wedding. You and your guests won't have to worry about getting transport to a hotel when your wedding ends. You could even have a full weekend wedding and turn it into a mini festival wedding!


Marquees come in different sizes and shapes and so you won't have to limit the number of guests. You can choose to have them as big or as small as you like.
If you want a small intimate wedding then a marquee wedding is a great choice. 


Some venues have a minium number of guests and so you may end up paying for a larger guest list than you actually need.
Maybe you would like your bar, dance floor and entertainment separate, this is all possible with a marquee. You could even have a separate party tent! You will find all our amazing wedding bands and solo singers on the directory. 


You can find lots of amazing suppliers on our wedding directory that would love to help you create your fairytale wedding.
