Introduction to Marquee Weddings
A wedding marquee is a great way to create a unique and memorable atmosphere for your special day.
Marquee weddings offer flexibility and can be tailored to suit your style and budget.
With the right planning, a marquee wedding can be an unforgettable celebration.
Wedding marquees and gazebos provide a beautiful and intimate setting for your wedding reception.
Marquees can be set up in various locations, including gardens, beaches, and countryside settings.
BUT – you need to get insurance for your marquee (usually through the optional wedding marquee cover) provided as part of a wedding insurance policy (not the same as a vanilla event insurance!)
