Why choose a marquee wedding venue?

Marquee wedding venues are popular with couples looking for flexible indoor-outdoor space and more freedom over the style of their wedding. Some venues have permanent marquees within their grounds, while others offer outdoor space where couples can hire a marquee for the wedding reception.

Hotels and country estates may also use temporary marquees to extend dining or evening reception space, particularly for larger weddings. Marquee weddings are popular with couples wanting more flexibility over seating layouts, entertainment areas and catering styles that may not fit within a traditional indoor venue space.

Couples planning a temporary marquee setup may also want to explore wedding marquees and tipi suppliers, alongside land for hire and festival wedding venues with space for outdoor receptions.

What to consider when booking a marquee wedding venue

When comparing marquee wedding venues, couples should check whether the marquee is permanent, included within the venue hire or needs to be arranged separately. Some venues provide flooring, lighting, furniture and catering facilities, while others offer open grounds where couples can hire their own marquee and suppliers.

It is also important to consider guest capacity, parking, power supply, toilet facilities and wet weather options, particularly for outdoor receptions and temporary marquee setups.

Couples looking for a more formal garden setting may also want to explore orangery wedding venues, which combine natural light and outdoor views with a permanent indoor structure.

Marquee Wedding Venue FAQs

Not always. Some marquee wedding venues include a permanent marquee within the hire cost, while others only provide outdoor space where couples can arrange a marquee separately. Many venues can also recommend marquee suppliers they regularly work with.

Not necessarily. While marquee weddings can offer more flexibility, couples may need to budget separately for items such as flooring, generators, toilets, lighting and furniture depending on what the venue includes.

Yes, if the wedding venue is licensed for civil ceremonies and the marquee is included within that licence. If you are hiring private land or a field for your marquee wedding, you may need to hold the legal ceremony elsewhere before using the marquee for the reception or celebrations.

Some wedding venues have permanent marquees already installed within their grounds, often used for larger receptions. Other venues provide outdoor space where couples can hire temporary marquees, sailcloth marquees, stretch tents, tipis or yurts depending on the style of wedding and the size of the guest list.

Most professional wedding marquees are designed to handle typical British weather conditions, including rain and wind. Couples should still discuss wet weather plans with the venue, particularly for guest access, heating, parking and outdoor areas.

Some marquee wedding venues offer on-site accommodation within the main venue, while others may recommend nearby hotels, cottages or guest houses for wedding guests. Venues with larger outdoor space may also allow glamping tents, tipis or camping areas so guests can stay on-site after the reception.
