Booking marquee hire online?
Do customers actually book marquee hire online?
Yes, we organise hundreds of marquee bookings every year. We complete site visits, build quotes and send invoices to customers everyday. Once the customer pays the invoice, the payment is automatically sent to your bank account. Keep scrolling to find out more or call us on 01626 245056.
How much is this going to cost me?
Free to be listed, we invoice you once a booking has been made.
We invoice you a small advertising fee once the customer has paid the booking deposit.
Our advertising fee is taken directly from the customers booking deposit, so you will never send us money.
The advertising fee is determined by the number of jobs you have completed with MarqueeBookings, the total job value and the marquee type.
No joining costs, no subscriptions, no hidden charges
For more information call us 01626 245056.
Receiving payment
When do I receive the booking deposit?
You will receive the booking deposit 14 days after the customer pays. We defer payment to 14 days due to the cooling off period as defined in the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Site visit
How does MarqueeBookings complete one?
We have built software that allows us to complete an online site visit. If we have any concerns about the site, we will seek your second opinion. You can request to not take payment until completing your own site visit.
Adding your booking preferences
You are control of the bookings you choose to accept or reject
You set the distance you are prepared to travel.
You set the minimum job value.
You can cross hire items.
You can edit and update your pricing at any time.
Customer cancellation
What happens if the customer cancels?
Once the customer has paid the booking deposit and you have received the payment, your terms and conditions (including cancelation terms) come into effect. If the customer cancels on you, your cancelation terms will come into effect.
Marquee company cancellation
What happens if you cancel on the customer?
If you cancel on the customer without valid reason you will be instantly black listed from MarqueeBookings. If you need to cancel on a customer, phone us immediately on 01626 245056.
Rejecting a booking
Are you allowed to reject a customer's booking?
Yes of course, you can choose to accept or reject any bookings. You are not charged for rejecting bookings, completing site visits or speaking to leads.
We only invoice once you have confirmed you want the booking and the customer has reserved the marquee.
What marquee companies are allowed on MarqueeBookings?
There is only 1 rule...
No cowboys here.
Only reputable marquee companies who stock high quality marquees from well known manufacturers. Each marquee company is pre-vetted prior to signing up.
Who started MarqueeBookings?
2 brothers, Bill & Tim
After years of putting up marquees we decided to take the industry online to help tackle a number of the problems that exist for marquee company directors.
Marquee company directors are arguably the hardest working directors in the UK. Not only are we working 15+ hour days rigging marquees, but you are then also responsible for:
- Managing your website
- Managing social media
- Marketing
- Advertising
- Emailing new customers
- Phoning new customers
- Driving to meet new customers
- Quoting customer
- Invoicing customer.
If you add up all that time, how much does it cost you in time away from family, stress and money?
MarqueeBookings.co.uk was built to make your life a lot easier. We can't help you put up the marquee, but we can help you find new bookings and generate more revenue.
If you want to find out more, call us on 01626 245056.

Devon Party Marquees

"Very impressed with the first job received from Marquee Bookings (£4990), the site visit they performed was fine and the guys in the office were very easy to deal with and quick to respond. I would recommend them as they have found me a booking!"
Supplier Reviews
Brooks Marquee Hire
Tom Brooks
"The ease of securing the booking from you is what makes your service the best. I don’t need to send out initial emails to your leads/customers, I don't need to build & adjust their quotes, when you offer the booking you have done all of that and I just need to accept the booking."
Supplier Reviews
The Wedding Marquee Hire Company
Greg Bartlett
Question. Have you tried similar online services and if so, how do they compare to MarqueeBookings?
Answer. All the other similar services tend to just send us leads and do not have any more input. Marquee bookings is quite unique in that they are more like an event/party planner and are therefore a lot more involved and helpful.
Question. What is the best thing about MarqueeBookings.co.uk?
Answer. Simplicity. They ask us if we have availability and then the next thing is the marquee is booked. It takes a away a lot of the initial hard work of working out what a client wants.
Question. What are the 3 main benefits of working with marqueebookings.co.uk?
Answer. More Business. Effectively a repeat customer. A booking with little hassle.
Question. Would recommend us to other marquee companies and if so, why?
Answer. Would I recommend you? No way I want you to give me the bookings not my competitors!

Frequently asked questions
-
How does MarqueeBookings make money?
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.
-
How do you find me the best deal?
'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.
-
How can I trust the marquee companies you work with?
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.
-
Shouldn’t I just book directly with the marquee company?
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.
-
What makes you the experts?
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.
-
Can I have a site visit with the company before I pay the deposit?
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.
-
How do you tailor quotes for my event?
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.
-
How much does a marquee cost?
This is a tough one to answer, the 3 main factors which influence marquee hire costs are… budget, marquee-type & event size.
Budget is the trickiest, marquees aren’t cheap. However, some are more affordable than others. Speak to one of our experts on 01626 245056 to discover the marquees you can hire with your budget size.
