How it started:
The Co-Founders Bill & Tim, started the company after their stressful experience booking a marquee for their sisters wedding. Even though the brothers had years of experience managing marquee companies, they found it very difficult finding & booking a marquee online.
So they built MarqueeBookings, an online platform that allows you to easily find marquees, compare quotes & book your perfect marquee from over 650 choices.
Where we are now:
In January 2018 we received investment, shortly after we partnered with a company who helped create the software for GoCompare, Broadband Choices & Uswitch.com. With the help of their comparison-software genius & our marquee hire experience, our website, service & team is setting a new standard for how customers compare and book marquees in the UK.
Since January we have helped hundreds of brides, grooms, festivals, party organises book their dream marquee.

Save the marquees you love, then make an enquiry to speak with one of experts
Moments after your phone call with one of our marquee experts, you will receive multiple tailored quotes which are in your budget & include everything you need.
We can change your quotes, add to them & make new quotes in seconds.
Not only do we send you personalised quotes, we will also conduct an online site visit to make sure your field/garden/venue is suitable for a marquee.
Plus, we will create custom floor plans of each marquee, to help you visualise the amount of space you have inside the marquees.
Once we have helped you find the perfect marquee, you can reserve it with a booking deposit.
The deposit can be paid online via a Card Payment or PayPal. An automatic receipt will be sent to your emails after purchase.
The remaining balance for the marquee doesn't need to be paid until 2 weeks before your event.
It takes us seconds to update your order, so if you have a few more guest coming than expect, no worries we can increase the size of your marquee and add the extra tables and chairs.
The same is true if you need to down size the marquee.
We make money, but we don’t make it from you. The marquee companies pay us a small fee each time we get them new bookings.
The fee does not affect the final price you pay. You won’t pay less by booking directly with the marquee company. In fact, the majority of our customers have told us they got a better deal by booking through us.
'The best deal' differs from customer to customer. Some customers want the cheapest marquee possible, where some customers want a luxury marquee. We choose to work with a range of trusted companies with offer different marquees, at different price points. So no matter how big or small your budget or what your definition of 'the best deal' is, we have the marquee which is perfect for you.
We do not want to send awesome customers to not-so-awesome companies. So, before a company can join they are validated by our team of experts. If they have bad reviews they can’t join and if they have cheaply made marquees they can’t join (you don’t want the tent flying away when it gets windy). Now we work with 180+ trusted marquee companies (UK wide) and secure 100's of bookings each month.
The choice is yours... however, if you go direct it will take you weeks finding & emailing each marquee company in your county. Then you have to wait even longer to receive their quotes.
Make a single enquiry with us and receive multiple quotes, which are in your budget & include everything you need for your event. Our bespoke quoting software makes it super easy & fast for you to find, compare & book your dream marquee.
We have years of experience putting marquees up and managing marquee companies. Our wealth of knowledge means we can help answer all your initial marquee hire questions and help you choose the marquee which is right for you.
We conduct free-online-site-visits for all of our customers. This is to ensure your site is suitable for a marquee. If we are unsure about your site, we will send an expert there for a free site visit.
If your site is perfect, but you would still like to meet the marquee company, we can organise a site visit before you pay the booking deposit, However, marquees get booked up fast. To avoid someone else booking the marquee you love while you're waiting for your site visit, we recommend you reserve the marquee with a fully refundable deposit.
If after your site visit you or the marquee company no longer wants to take on the booking, we will refund the money, no questions asked.
When you inquire, you will be allocated a marquee expert, who will become your free-personal-event-planner. We recommend having a short phone call with your expert, so they can get as much info about your event & what you would like inside the marquee. Minutes after your phone call you will receive your tailored quotes.
If you're more of an email person, that's fine! We can send you an event info questionnaire which takes seconds to complete & it gives us enough info to make your tailored quotes.
