Chris and his team were absolutely fantastic for our wedding setup on 21st August - we had the Aurora Sailcloth marquee, which was beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere! From the very first time we spoke to Chris, his helpfulness and reassurance was amazing. Thoughout the whole process of postponing, new covid regulations and all the… stresses, Chris was a great help, and I knew we were in safe hands. The final wobble was the week before, when the weather forecast looked awful, so Chris and his team put out extra matting, and another pagoda for shelter, all last minute! Despite the

Thank you so much to Up Marquees for making our day bespoke, unique and absolutely perfect. As our venue was basically just land with no wedding co ordinator, Chris and team worked especially hard with us to create our perfect wedding venue. All the guests were absolutely blown away with it, everything was organised extremely well and we cannot thank you enough for your support in the planning of our wedding. Our venue was a truly unique and special place and it was absolutely brilliant to work with you guys - we can not recommend you enough.

We had the pleasure of having Up Marquees provide a beautiful frame marquee for our wedding this summer. After some extensive research we chose Up Marquees because of their clear attention to detail, their quick and friendly responses to all queries, and their professionalism. We weren't disappointed. Despite having to organise most of the details… from afar, Chris wasn't fazed and he and his team worked exceptionally hard to produce the most beautiful marquee with exactly what was needed practically for caterers, bar and dancefloor requirements. We had utmost confidence in them throughout

Cannot recommend Up Marquees enough! From the initial enquiry Chris was so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We only spoke briefly but he managed to capture exactly what we wanted and the marquee was amazing. We're still having people commenting on it now, nearly 2 months on. Thanks again for everything, you really did help make our wedding more perfect than we could have imagined!!
