Marquees are a popular option for wedding receptions as they can be tailored to suit your personal taste and requirements. Here are 5 ways to personalise your marquee...

1. Size - Whether you're wanting your marquee to fill a small garden or large field, marquees are available in all shapes and sizes. This allows lots of flexibility with guest lists, location and design.

2. Fabulous Flooring - Most marquees come with standard matting flooring, however, there is always room for adding that personal touch. Whether you opt for carpet, elegant tiles or a disco dance floor - the choice is yours.

3. A Blank Canvas - Whether you are dreaming of a moroccan themed lounge or a fairy lit wonderland, marquees enable you to get creative with your decor and styling.

4. Flexible Sectioning - Parts of a marquee can be easily sectioned off. You could have one section for the wedding breakfast, one for the dance floor and a hidden section for the caterers.

5. Outdoor Pursuits - Marquee weddings are great for a Summer wedding. Be at one with nature, incorporating fire pits, tree swings and picnic areas into your big day.
