Marquee weddings have really improved over recent years.  No longer do they feel like camping in a tent; they are now beautifully cared for, exquisitely presented and can host an entire wedding reception. Many companies can provide the hire of the tables, chairs, floor linings and lighting.

If you are thinking about hiring a marquee for your wedding The Designer Card Company has come up with some tips for you.

• Don’t forget the toilets! These aren’t automatically ordered with the marquee, so do ensure that you have booked some!
• Marquees can now be fitted with heaters if you are worried about the weather.
• Remember that if it rains, the sound of the rain beating down on the marquee can be very loud and may interrupt speeches etc.  So try to make sure that there is somewhere else you could go in order to do your speeches.
• It is not legal in this country to marry in a marquee.  The location of the ceremony must have a solid wall structure in order to become licensed.  This is not necessarily the case in other countries.
• Think about the location of the marquee - will it spoil your photos of the area?  It is wise to consult your photographer first before deciding on the exact location of the marquee.

The Designer Card Company, experts in personalised wedding stationery design, can provide matching stationery for the inside of your marquee or reception venue.  Matching Menu Cards, Table Numbers, Place Cards or Place Tags, Favour Boxes, Table Plans or Escort Cards and Thank You Cards can all be provided to match your handmade wedding invitations and evening invitations.
