We had our wedding celebration this weekend which we had to postpone since April due to covid-19. We have been totally impressed with Bennetts from their help and advice to the erection and supply of the marquee. We had a 30ft by 30ft which fitted in our garden and this seated 50 people easily. I would have no problem with a recommendation to use this company. We had a great day and everything was perfect a big thank you

We recently used Bennetts for our wedding and, at short notice, they could not have been more helpful. Friendly, supportive and the service received was exceptional. Highly recommended.

The entire team at Bennetts could not be more helpful and knowledgable. they are a joy to work with , whether planning a special event at home or more recently helpful us have a very successful weekend at the Dorset Seafood Festival. Thanks so much

The transaction was very easy. I phoned up with the type of marquee I needed, received their advice, and booked it. On the set up day, there was a complication with another stand. The driver waited patiently and then set up the marquee for my stand. Thank you for great service! Kate, Poole Sailing
