Just about every job is a compromise between what your client wants and what their budget is. So is it possible to have a marquee wedding on a budget? Yes absolutely but there’s things you need to make your customer aware of. The main way for them to save money is to have an unlined […]

This is only really relevant for people who supply wedding marquees.

To start with we used a commercial cleaning company who turned round the linings within 2 days, the only problem with that is the linings came back […]

In the UK marquee industry now just about all professional marquee linings are ivory, this has come about from years of experience and customer feedback not just from us but from all lining manufacturers in the country.
