Take any outdoor area you like and capture that piece of paradise under one big marquee, filled with your closest friends and loved ones on your special day. Marquee weddings are a chance for couples to put their own personal touches and really create the space from the bottom up.

We’ve put together a list of things you need to know about a marquee wedding so without further or do, here you go Fairies.

Cost

A marquee may look luxurious and beautiful, but that all comes with a price! All the parts to build the marquee from the floor, to the ceiling will add up but can all be achieved on a budget. Consider finding a location that doesn’t require a floor to be installed which could save you some money to put towards other aspects of your special day.

Weather

If there is something that brides can’t control on their wedding day, it’s the weather! But hey, if it rains on your wedding day that’s a sign of good luck, as annoying as that can be. Being under a marquee, in a beautiful and picturesque location sets the vibe for the overall wedding and this is what it is all about. If the weather happens to be a letdown, it’s not a bad idea to hire a larger marquee space which will allow your guests to have more room and could also serve as your ceremony venue.
