William Cecil Hotel
Stamford’s The William Cecil hotel, combining accommodation with gardens and marquee options for weddings.
Forget flimsy tents and dodgy decor - these days, marquees are a seriously stylish wedding venue option. They can be decorated to match your wedding theme perfectly, and can accommodate everything from intimate weddings to huge reception parties.
Many wedding venues include a marquee option for their outdoor space, so if you're dreaming of a smaller ceremony with a larger reception, this could be the ideal option for you. It may be that your venue has a permanent marquee on their grounds, or there's simply space for you to choose your own to hire. In this case, you'll have plenty of options to choose from. Will you hire a classic English marquee with roll up sides, or maybe a festival-style yurt or tipi? You may even be able to customise your marquee with patterned linings, different flooring and a bespoke dance floor!
You will often find orangery's in manor house wedding venues and hotels. They will give you that outdoor feeling without having to be outside, you will get picturesque views right from your seat. Choosing an orangery will give you beautiful natural day light, along with views of the night stars in the evening.
Marquee wedding venues are perfect for you if:
- You're having a large guest list at your wedding reception
- You want to marry in a outdoor space, such as a garden or woodland
- You'd love to add your own personality to your venue
- You have a back up plan if the heavens open on the big day.
Orangery wedding venues are perfect for you if;
- You're wanting outside views without having to be outside
- You'd like an open space for your guests to enjoy the atmosphere
- You'd like plenty of natural light in your wedding venue no matter the weather.
Orangery & Marquee Weddings FAQs
If you’re choosing a wedding venue that offers marquee weddings as an option, you’ll need to ask them directly whether the hire cost includes the marquee itself. In some cases, the venue will only charge you for the hire of the grounds, and then you’ll have to arrange the marquee separately with a marquee hire company. Your wedding venue may have recommended marquee suppliers for this, so be sure to check with them.
The price of a marquee wedding will depend on your individual choices for decor, marquee style and other key elements. While marquee weddings may appear to be the cheaper option on paper, remember that it is often not just the structure that you may need to budget for. For example, you'll need to consider flooring, electricity and toilet facilities. It is best to speak to a wedding venue that specialises in marquee weddings, understands what you would need and can give you an accurate quote to fully understand your options and costs. They'll also be able to help you pull everything together for the day too!
Marquees present a fantastic opportunity to personalise your wedding theme. They act as a blank canvas where you can infuse your own ideas. Inside the wedding marquee, hanging decorations like bunting, paper lanterns, and statement floral pieces can create a visually impactful effect. To enhance the atmosphere of your evening reception, consider utilising lighting options such as fairy lights and chandeliers. When it comes to table arrangements, taller designs are advisable as they fill the space and bring a delightful touch to your dining area. Orangeries serve as an ideal wedding venue for simple embellishments as they can be tailored to any theme while offering beautiful natural decor from the outside space. You can also integrate the surrounding views into the decor, resulting in a stunning wedding space.
If the venue has licensed the orangery for civil ceremonies, you are able to have a beautiful ceremony in there. You will have incoming natural lighting and views of stunning grounds and gardens for your wedding photographs.
Most wedding marquees should be able to withstand wind and rain. However, if heavy storms are forecast for your wedding day you may need a backup. Discuss your wet weather plan with your marquee wedding venue to ensure you’re prepared for any poor weather conditions.
