How to Plan a Marquee Wedding

Here are some thoughts for you to ponder!

Set A Budget

Before you start splashing out the cash for eye-catching props to sit within the tent, ask yourself: how much can you afford? A wedding is one of the most important moments of your life, but that doesn’t mean that you should spend more than what is necessary, or worse still, more than you could afford.

So, between you and your partner, agree on a maximum figure that you will not go beyond, with a possible percentage of 5% as wiggle room if you’re close to the line. This ensures that your amazing occasion won’t spring any financial struggles beyond the happy day.

Flesh Out Your Ideas

Once you have a budget, it’s then time to sit down together and mind-map some creative ideas to truly make the day sparkle. Do you have a colour that should be on display at any point of view, or is there a specific theme that you wish for the ceremony to adopt?

Perhaps one of you has some thoughts about the post-ceremony entertainment, or it could be that someone has a truly out-of-the-box suggestion that none of the guests will be expecting to see. This is one of the most exciting stages of the process because the wedding is essentially a blank canvas, and the happy couple get to decide how their big day is going to look and feel.

Thinking about planning a marquee wedding?

A marquee wedding allows your special day to become even more special. That’s because you would have more control over how the wedding is going to look.

The more intimate setting of the tent provides flexibility for the wedding couple to choose everything from colour schemes and lighting to any additional decorative elements. So, there is a lot of value towards having a marquee wedding. But how do you go about planning a marquee wedding?

Pick The Right Venue

Here’s a suggestion: don’t start spending any money on balloons, lights, a dancefloor etc until you know where the ceremony is going to be held! Take the time to pick a venue that ticks all of the boxes and doesn’t have any flaws (such as difficult transport access or a lack of rooms to accommodate all of the guests).

As you come to choose a location, it’s imperative to get the best deal in order to meet expectations but to also avoid overspending. Once you have confirmed the venue, that’s when you can start to build your dream marquee wedding around the site.
