What an amazing team Intents Marquees are. They made our wedding day perfect. It was a large job, marquee and a big stage construction with clear marquee outside. All done with no fuss and was absolutely breathtaking. Thanks guys looking forward to working with you again Holly & Phil

Rowan and Liz at Intents Marquees are AMAZING! Rowan met up with us and was full of ideas about the space, and then Liz coordinated everything from there (including when I realised I had under requested on chairs the day before the wedding!).
Setup and takedown was seamless, and the marquee looked amazing on the day!

Just an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Intents supplied my company with a large volume of marquees for my event and I was quite a demanding client but they catered for all my requirements with ease. Arrived on time to setup and teardown and the entire team were fantastic to work with. I simply cannot recommend them enough.

Fantastic service at Intents, Rowan came twice to look at the positioning and size of the marquee, the marquee looked brilliant at the end and they kept us informed on delivery and collection etc every step of the way. Would highly recommend Intents.

We used Intents Marquees for our wedding in October. Rowan and the team did a fantastic job. The marquee looked awesome and exceeded all our expectations. We had so many lovely comments on the marquee against the house, thanks to Rowan's amazing creativity and vision. I would highly recommend them.
