Oxford Marquees provided a marquee for our birthday party, working with them was easy and efficient, they understood exactly what we were looking for. The quality of the marquee and the extras we hired from them was excellent. I would highly recommend.

We are so grateful to Oxford Marquees for providing such a lovely marquee for our daughter's wedding. They helped at short notice as we had to change plans because of covid restrictions, and worked with us to plan a great arrangement for a tent for 30 people in our garden, and the tables and chairs provided were super too. The staff were incredibly helpful and efficient in mounting and taking the marquee down. Everyone said it looked as though the marquee had been made for our garden, and it looked absolutely lovely in the sunshine, filled with happy guests.

Working with Oxford Marquees for our event was an easy, efficient, and entirely successful experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating always. They're responses were consistently quick, reliable, and thorough. In throwing a large gala for nearly 300 people, we faced numerous logistical and financial constraints that required us to change our initial plans with regard to the marquee. Oxford Marquee not only refunded our deposit when we had to alter our initial order, they also ensured they were able to meet our various needs and offer alternative solutions when we needed guidance.

Oxford Marquees were wonderful and visited several times to ensure that we were happy with the size and layout of the marquees. Everyone from the company was so helpful and the bride and groom and all the guests were delighted with the result. The delivery and collection worked smoothly and professionally. I would definitely use them again. Thank you, Oxford Marquees!

A very helpful gentleman came round and measured everything and supplied a quote with in two days. I then tried to accept the quote and emailed accordingly. I then heard nothing back for nearly a week. When I called to chase up paying to securing the booking. I was told they were unavailable to do the work!!!!! What a waste of time!!!!
