Report
Adrian at Devon Party Marquees, is fantastic. He is very professional and incredibly helpful. He works with you to ensure that you have everything that you need on your day. We hired him for our wedding and he liaised with our caterers and venue to ensure that everything ran smoothly. He turned up and took down when he said he would and was very efficient. I changed my mind numerous times and made a lot of changes and Adrian remained patient and helpful throughout these. Everything turned out exactly as I hoped and I am incredibly grateful for this. Devon Party Marquees is also very competitive

Adrian was so helpful from start to finish, the marquee looked amazing, a lot nicer than the 'normal ones' and still with plenty of room for dancing! If you're having a festival style wedding, give DPM a call, they were more responsive, more helpful and cheaper than all the others I contacted.

We have used Adrian and his team on numerous occasions, from weddings to family celebrations, and they have excelled themselves every time. They operate with a no fuss approach and get the job done in a friendly but professional way. I couldn't recommend them enough.
