David and Amanda did a great job in the 12 month build up to our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble, and the end product that was supplied was superb. All of their staff could not be more helpful.

We chose Western Marquees to line our wedding venue which was Frampton Village Hall. The guys arrived on the Friday before the wedding and started setting up, it was safe to say we were so excited to see the hall transform into a magical and stunning venue, it felt like Christmas there was so many lights! It really created the atmosphere that we wanted and they did an incredible job on a tricky project! David and Amanda were always contactable and really helpful! We can't thank you enough!

We needed a very large marquee for a wedding plus tables, table cloths, chairs, catering tent, generator with leads, and loos. Our marquee had four tall wooden poles holding it up (with flags on each pole where they poked out of the top of the tent), transparent walls for much of it, bunting, fairy lights, chandeliers, dance floor and green carpet… - it was stunning and once the tables were laid and the flowers out..even more stunning. David and Amanda could not have been more helpful and reassuring. As soon as I have some photos I'll post them. I would certainly recommend Western Marquees
