The UK’s Outdoor Wedding Expert — Specialist Marquee Wedding Planning

why Marquee Weddings

Looking for an outdoor celebration that feels exciting, personal, and completely unforgettable? A marquee wedding is the perfect way to create a stunning space that’s entirely your own — whether it’s pitched in a field, your family garden, or a beautiful venue.

Marquees are all about possibility. You get the freedom to design every inch of your day — the layout, the lighting, the styling, the atmosphere. It’s your vision, brought to life from the ground up.

But here’s the truth: an incredible marquee wedding takes more than just an empty plot and a beautiful structure. There’s power, lighting, access, logistics, and yes, the ever-changing British weather to think about. That’s where I come in. As one of the UK’s leading marquee wedding planners, I handle every detail with calm confidence, turning the complex into something effortless — and making sure your celebration feels extraordinary from start to finish.

Your marquee wedding journey starts here

With over ten years of experience planning marquee weddings across the UK, I know exactly what it takes to transform an open space into a breathtaking, fully functioning wedding venue — one that feels effortless, joyful, and entirely your own.

Planning an outdoor celebration is about more than just choosing a plot of land. It’s about crafting a complete experience that your guests will remember forever. I’ll guide you through every step, including:

  • Choosing the perfect marquee to match your style (see our blog on Choosing Your Wedding Marquee)
  • Power, lighting, and infrastructure setup
  • Toilets, catering, and practical essentials
  • Weather contingencies and guest comfort planning

Every wedding site is unique — there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. I tailor every aspect of your marquee wedding to your location, vision, and priorities, making sure every detail is taken care of so you can focus on celebrating your extraordinary day.

How Can I Help as Your UK Marquee Wedding Planner

From our very first conversation, I’ll answer the key questions upfront — helping you save time, reduce stress, and avoid unnecessary costs.

Every planning package begins with a kick-off meeting and a detailed site visit (or review, where applicable) to spot potential challenges early. Depending on your chosen package, I’ll be by your side throughout the entire journey, offering expert guidance and on-the-day coordination to bring your marquee wedding vision to life.

If extra hands are needed for setup or on the day itself, I have a trusted team I can call on to ensure everything runs smoothly and effortlessly.

Whether you’re looking for full planning support or prefer to take on some elements yourself, I offer flexible marquee wedding planning packages tailored to your needs. My aim is simple: to give you confidence, peace of mind, and the freedom to enjoy every single moment of your extraordinary day.
