Marquee Weddings
Dear Lovely Wedding Planners,
As you’re here reading this, you’re obviously looking for more exciting and alternative options for your wedding than a corporate-looking hotel function room. They had their place back in the day, but weddings have become much more of an experience these days, and people want to give their friends and family a truly amazing day to remember. One that will be talked about for years to come.
If this is what you’re after, read on…
Rustic marquee weddings can be really stunning. Our Sailcloth Marquees provide a dazzling venue for weddings big and small. With a range of furniture and accessories to choose from, each set up can be totally bespoke so that your wedding day is like no other. Would you rather have more informal long tables and benches or round tables and chairs? We offer both. Are you planning to dance the night away? Then let’s add in our oak parquet dance floor. And don’t forget the bar, which can come with illuminated letters so people know where to go to fill up their glass!

But this isn’t about us, it’s about you and your perfect marquee wedding.

Marquee Wedding FAQs
We have a selection of beautiful venues across the Midlands that can provide the perfect setting for our marquees. We have sites in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands. We are able to travel up to an hour and a half from our location in Swarkestone, Derby. This means we are only ever 90 minutes away from you and your venue if we are needed. Alternatively, if you have your own site already or if you are looking to have your celebration in your own garden space, this is possible too. We are always happy to visit new sites and discuss the options with you. Start your free quote to discover if we can cater to your location.
Our Bamse Fire pits are tipi specific and isn’t an option with the Sailcloth Marquee Tent. You can however hire this for use outside as long as it is 5m away from the Structure.

To make your tipi event function, you will require power and toilets. If your site does not offer these or organise the hiring of them, this is something we can do for you.
When we build your marquee, we’ll work with you to understand where you will want openings for example the main entrance, or an exit for your catering team. Most couples choose to either have the build complete with all the walls on with the option to roll these back on the day of the wedding or for really hot days, the walls can be left completely off all the way around or in part.
The Sailcloth Marquee build as a rule for a Saturday Wedding, will either be the Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. We will always pre-agree this with you.
The take down will be on the Sunday afternoon or Monday.
If your location is new to us, we will need to conduct a site visit. Here’s how the process works:
Virtual Site Visit:
– Initially, we will work with you to look at the site and review its feasibility through a virtual site visit conducted together on Zoom.
– During this session, we will assess key aspects such as site access, and space to ensure it meets the requirements for your chosen Marquee Size.
Physical Site Visit:
– Based on the findings from the virtual site visit, if a physical site visit is required we’ll book this in. Not every site will require a physical site visit.
– One of our expert installers will visit the location to conduct a thorough inspection and finalise the setup plan.
