Find your Marquee Wedding Venue in London

There's a considerable amount of legwork and orchestration that goes into planning an alfresco celebration. While gorgeous scenery and natural landscapes mean you can embrace a less-is-more approach when it comes to decorations, you may need to hire in generators, lights, flooring, portable toilets and kitchen equipment.

Some expert tips for organising your marquee wedding:

–preparing your guest list is an important step toward establishing a budget

–think about the style of reception you want as well as your marquee venue hire options (traditional, frame, giant tipis, etc.)

–make a contingency plan for bad weather

–check if your catering team provides hospitality staff

–consider whether to provide a dress code (like black tie, cocktail attire or fancy dress)

Things to consider when hiring a space for your event:

–ease of accessibility for the elderly or disabled

–time of the event (try to schedule your ceremony after the hottest part of the day so the sun won’t be so strong for your guests)

–lighting (this is key for events that carry on into the evening)
–catering options and licences (like whether the venue has an alcohol licence or can cater to special dietary requirements)
