We hired Wings for our wedding marquee for our original date last year which was unfortunately postponed due to Covid-19 to this year. Ben, Gemma and the team could not have been more friendly, approachable or accommodating throughout all of our dealings. They met our every request and even went above and beyond multiple times for us when they really didn't have to. We would honestly recommend them to any one looking for a marquee wedding. Throughout the day we received multiple compliments on the marquee itself from the design, structure and layout all of which would not have been possible without

We recently booked Wings Events to provide the marquee for our daughter's wedding, and were really impressed with their service. Nothing was too much trouble and Ben and Gemma are great to communicate with. The marquee was beautiful; every detail was sorted, and they even built a special bridge for us to get from the lawn to the field. We had the uncertainty of not knowing what our final numbers were going to be until 12 days before the actual date, and Ben and Gemma were so understanding. We have no hesitation in recommending Wings to anyone looking for great service and we will certainly be

We hired Wings for our wedding marquee this Summer and they were brilliant. All planning and communication with Ben and Gemma was seamless and they were a pleasure do deal with. Ben and his team were great to have around during the set up and break-down. They were efficient and professional and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend!

Ben, Gemma and the Wings Events team were a pleasure to have as our marquee supplier for our wedding at Newington House. They were kind and supportive of the last minute changes that affected us due to COVID and were always willing to go the extra mile to help us achieve the wedding we wanted. We loved the marquee and could not recommend them enough! Thank you!
