Alresford provided the marquee for my wedding and did such a beautiful job! They were fantastic when we had to delay due to covid and in the two years we ended up working with them they were always quick to respond, came out to see us face to face whenever needed and were so accommodating. Thank you Oli, Amanda, and the rest of the team! Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Alresford Marquees highly enough. Oli and the team were amazing and made my vision for our winter wedding come true, despite a difficult location and terrible weather. We still have guests commenting on how beautiful the marquee was! Thank you so much

Oli and his team supplied the marquee, tables, chairs, lighting, generator and loos for our wedding in September 2019. From start to finish we were thrilled with the service, and most importantly, the marquee looked amazing! I received quotes from 5 local companies and Olis pricing was the most competitive and the quality of marquees was similar to quotes 150% of the price. We would highly recommend Alresford to anyone - no complaints at all.

Absolutely thrilled with our choice of marquee for our wedding. Not only is Alresford Marquees a very professional, communicative outfit, but the end result was just stunning. We opted for a traditional three-pole marquee for our country-themed wedding reception, and we were just delighted with the result. Oli and his team made sure we had everything we needed - including last minute additions (such as heating, which we'd not thought about) - and completely put us at ease. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
