I booked a marquee for the Scottish Game Fair 2020 which had to be cancelled as the fair couldn't go ahead.I had paid a non refundable deposit. The booking was carried forward to this year and due to a clash in events we cannot do the Scottish Game Fair. Without even asking Janet has given me my deposit back . This is greatly appreciated as we have not worked for 16 months due to covid cancelling all our events. This was above and beyond and would definitely recommend this company .

We first contacted Tents and Events in early 2019 while searching for a marquee supplier for our wedding. After having been let down by a previous company, Janet and Graeme were incredibly helpful in organising the marquee, furniture and lighting for our wedding. They were very professional and friendly while we discussed our plans via email,… sharing examples and photos of their previous work. We then had the opportunity to see a wedding set up in person on our visit to Scotland. Janet took the time during the set up to discuss details of our own wedding and how things would work. While

Tents and Events provided the marquee for my wedding last weekend and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We went for the clear-sided option to make the most of the view at our venue (Carrick Castle Estate in Lochgoilhead) and then on the day were able to actually open up the sides as we were so lucky with the weather, it was perfect! Janet and… Graeme were a delight to deal with and the extra touches like uplighters in the trees and having them manage our power, etc were SO helpful. They were such great value for money too, I never imagined I'd be able to afford such a perfect marquee
