Marquee Weddings provide an excellent alternative to large venues. If you are unsure as to where you should hire a marquee for your wedding, there are now many suppliers available in your area. The possibilities for your marquee decoration are endless from drapes of coloured fabrics, bedecked with flowers, ribbons and fairy lights, a marquee can be the dream setting for an English summer wedding. Marquee Weddings give that a cosy, at home, feel to your wedding and you can make it just the way you want it. More great ideas when considering a marquee wedding One of the advantages of a marquee wedding is being able to choose your own outside wedding caterer. Wedding catering can be a large cost at a wedding venue and you won't have much choice, however, if you have a marquee wedding, the marquee catering options are endless. They will set up a mobile kitchen on trestle tables in a catering tent - usually the end of the wedding marquee which has been partitioned off - and will usually also have a refrigerated van. Alternatively, go for a country theme with a wedding barbeque or hog roast, or provide your guests with picnic hampers and rugs. More great Ideas for Marquee Catering Don't scrimp on Mobile Loos! For around £200 you can have a pair of tardis toilets - those awful ones you find at festivals and on building sites, or for £450-£550 you can have a proper trailer with separate ladies and gents flushing toilets with proper basins, towels, mirrors and even a vase of flowers. It is an Easy choice! There is a growing industry of wedding luxury mobile loos, so it is likely that there is a supplier near you.
