110% professional and amazing service from start to finish. So supportive when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and even when the rearranged date was hanging in the balance. Beautiful framed marquee, very clean toilets, amazing heaters, car park floor matting, fabulous festoon lighting….. all perfect and made our venue for our big day! Can not recommend highly enough, if you have any event big or small - you need South West Marquees! :)

Southwest Marquees were fantastic! I got married at the end of August and had the venue in a local barn with a marquee outside. They provided carpeting, dance floor, stage and lights for in the barn and marquee… as well all the tables and chairs. Everything looked amazing and the team were really professional. They really helped us get the best out of the venue and were incredibly useful when it came to planning what we would need too! Thank you!

The pandemic was so tough on businesses and we weren't treated kindly by everyone - South West Marquees went above and beyond to make our day happen and work. The marquee, furniture and toilets we

What can we say other than these guys are nothing less than a five star service all round!! We had booked South West Marquees for our wedding, having to firstly postpone in June 2020 we finally had our special day August this year. We had some unfortunate issues with the venue in which the Marquee was to be put but South West Marquees honestly went above and beyond to be accommodating and saved our wedding!! All of the staff are friendly and super helpful, from numerous phone calls checking various bits and bobs and always a happy helpful member of staff the other end of the phone making sure
