I cannot recommend Kevin and his team enough. We hired a very large marquee for our wedding to include bar area, fridges and heating. We also had catering done internally so it had to incorporate a section for that as well as dance floor and band area. The team had to contend with erecting all this in a hurricane which blew through the week before the wedding on the Saturday. How they managed was nothing short of a miracle! Thankfully the storm cleared and the sun came out for the big day. The marquee was stunning with lights, chandeliers, the works. And reasonably priced! I would not use any other company. Just the best day

We used First Choice Marquee hire for our wedding which was the best decision for our venue we could have made. The whole team were so professional, easy to get in touch with and made everything totally stress… free. Everything was tailored to exactly what we wanted and within our budget, Kevin as a point of contact was amazing. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a marquee! Thanks to all the First Choice team for helping make it a perfect day :)
