Cheshire - Wedding Marquee in Mellor, Marple

Marquee Malarkey recently went to Cheshire to provide a marquee for a "classic country wedding".

How lucky we were with the weather! During the set-up on site we had lovely sunshine, everyone was hoping that we would have glorious August sunshine for the big day.

The marquee was set up just a short walk from Mellor Church, on possibly one of my favourite sites of the year so far. Looking out of the marquee there was the most fantastic view of the local countryside. Put simply, it was idyllic. We've taken a series of photos from on top of the marquee that we shall stitch together to make a panoramic view. (I'll post it up once a photoshop wizz has finished joining up the photos)

The excellent weather allowed us to have an open sided marquee during the day for dining, with the walls rolled down for dancing after.



The Marquee was a tension pole marquee lined with a flat (non-pleated lining) and then carefully selected blue sash lining under the lighting, adding a subtle splash of colour, combined with a lovely diffuse, warm lighting effect. We had a lot of compliments on the marquee, the lining and the lighting.

The reception started at about 3.00 PM. Following the service in the Church, everyone headed over to the marquee for a Champagne reception. Whilst the guests were enjoying the sunshine and champagne, I was really impressed by Sadie Baker who came with a pianist to sing some soulful jazzy numbers early on. She really helped to get the reception off to a good start.

The caterers were happy in their own 9m marquee, they supplied some lovely food, with some particularly exquisite antipasti. (Much to my delight)

The bar was well stocked, and I'm glad to say, very well attended. There was a good fun and relaxed atmosphere. A good number of young, and the not quite so young meant there was a wonderful balance of guests.

We supplied a large dance floor as the bride and groom were keen to have a good space for a dance! The band were excellent. The dance floor was full almost instantly. It was a delight to see such a full dance floor all night. The hardened party goers were still dancing at 3AM!

Lastly, we'd like to wish the bride a groom the very best of luck for the future. We all thoroughly enjoyed working on the event.

The whole event sounds like it went really well and judging from the photos it looks amazing. I do find it very satisfying when you supply a wide range of products in addition to the wedding marquee itself, such as dance floor hire and lighting etc, creating a whole package thats unique to the client. After the day has finished and everyone is happy then it makes you feel great.

It is the event management company that can either make the party a success or take it completely down. Wedding parties are very difficult to execute as you need to have everything right.find a best marquee service which will guarantee the success of your wedding.

It's so important for an event like this that the marquee hire company are this involved. Lots of companies are happy to set the thing up, but won't stick around for the duration. What if something goes wrong?? Anyway, looks like you guys did a fantastic job, well done.

They can be erected on grass or concrete, eliminating the need for guy ropes. Being self supported they can also fit flush up to buildings, and as they have no centre pole, all the floor space is useable.

This is amazing. I also have a desire to work in a reputed event planning company. I just started with event planning and was looking for some ideas of marquees and gazebos for a wedding party at wedding venues NYC. This is my first independent assignment and I want to execute it to perfection.
