A marquee turns any field into a wedding venue — and the companies couples rate most highly are the ones whose build goes up on time, in the rain, without drama.

View profileWhat marquee hire really costs
Marquee pricing is quoted low and built up: the from-prices here run from £500 to £5,000, but the real number arrives when flooring, power, furniture, heating and gutters join the quote.
- Under £1,000 buys small structures and drink tents — Capri (£500), Mango (£650) and TipEase (£900) start here
- £1,500–£2,500 covers a modest wedding marquee with basics
- £4,000+ is a full build: large clearspan or styled tents with flooring, power and furniture
Insist on one written quote that includes erection, take-down, site visit and insurance — the companies above build their reviews on doing exactly that.

What to ask before you book a marquee
The questions that keep the field dry.
| Ask | A good answer | Walk away if |
|---|---|---|
| Full quote | One written quote: marquee, flooring, power, furniture, heating, gutters | A frame price with everything else to follow |
| Site visit | A site visit before the final quote | Quoting from a photo |
| Weather plan | Ground bars, sides and heating offered for bad weather | Sides cost extra, apparently |
| Insurance | Public liability confirmed in writing | No paperwork offered |
| Power | Generators or mains assessed for your catering and band | An extension lead, presumably |
| Take-down | Collection included and scheduled | You own the marquee by Sunday |
