Ashley at Greenhill Marquees was amazing during all the preparation time, helping us decide what we really wanted whilst keeping the costs down and making sure we would end up with just the right decor. As well as keeping the mother of the bride sane! The guys who did the setup and take down were thorough, dependable and friendly. Thank you so much to all of you at Greenhill who made our daughter's wedding reception so spectacular.

Greenhill provided the marquee for our daughters wedding. From the time of our initial approach, the professionalism of Ashley and her remarkable team was outstanding. Initially, Ashley showed our daughter Charlotte, her fiance Andrew, and my wife and I an amazing diversity of marquees and options through some splendid visual presentations. At all stages through the subsequent evolution and formulation of Charlotte and Andrews thoughts, Greenhill were highly practical in providing ideas, and working through understanding their requirements and the development of the design. There was immense

From our first meeting with Ashley to the day when our marquee was taken down, the entire Greenhill team were on hand to answer questions and provide us with a first class service. Our split level marquee was beyond incredible, the design and execution impeccable and having Michael the "Greenhill man" onsite to tweak and perfect those last minute requests made everything effortless and easy on our part. We loved our marquee so much we all wanted to keep it and I cried when I had to leave, knowing I wouldn't see it again! We can't thank Greenhill enough for making our wedding so special and I couldn

WHAT A SPLENDID OCCASION! We had said we would only have one big party for our children's 18th/21st and so it had to be a good one. Greenhill organised absolutely everything from the marquee, the dcor, the help, and the entertainment down to every detail perfectly. It looked amazing. Thank you.

This is the best marquee provider we have ever used, nothing was too much trouble for the team. They are highly professional and caring, I have no hesitation in recommending. Ours was a large charity ball for over 400 guests, when the main room was "revelled" everyone in the reception gasped with delight and amazement.
