Everything You Need To Know About Marquee Wedding Planning



Are you dreaming of a charming marquee countryside wedding surrounded by the rolling hills and fresh air of Devon? Well, you are in for a wedding treat, and have found yourself in the right place for planning. As a Devon-based wedding planner specialising in rustic, marquee weddings, our team are here to give you all the insider tips. Read on for all the pros, cons, and important information for planning your marquee wedding. 


The biggest attraction to marquee weddings is the complete blank space that you get to work with in a fabulously unique location- it really is an opportunity to let your imaginations run wild. Think of this space as your own personal canvas to decorate and transform as your heart desires, so you can truly bring your dream wedding to

life. Whether you want to transport your guests to a day of rustic charm, or classic elegance the possibilities are endless! And guess what? Our team at West Country Wedding Planner are here to make it happen for you.


Flexibility is also one of the other pros of a marquee wedding. Unlike traditional venues with strict timelines and regulations, marquee weddings offer you the freedom to create a schedule that suits your vision perfectly. Whether you want to dance under the stars until the early hours or have a leisurely bunch the morning after, the choice is entirely yours.

Whilst we absolutely adore a marquee wedding, there are a few things that we recommend our couples consider before jumping into planning. 


Location, location, location - finding the perfect location for your marquee to be can sometimes be tricky. Whether you are looking for a field to rent or a space that comes with a wedding venue on site, hiring a wedding planner to assist with the search is a good idea. Fortunately, our expertise lies not only in planning the perfect marquee wedding, but also in finding a marquee-worthy site for your wedding day. Rest assured, we’ll help you find the perfect space and ensure your budget doesn’t spiral. 


Now let’s talk logistics. Planning a marquee wedding involves a few extra considerations compared to a traditional wedding venue, you are building an entire event space from the ground up. You’ll need to consider toilets, catering facilities, power supplies for all your suppliers and of course the unpredictable British weather. But don’t fear about these not so fun tasks, with our expertise in planning marquee weddings and local knowledge, we’ll handle all the small details so you can focus on enjoying the fun

stuff.  An on the day coordinator is also a must so you don't have to stress about pulling the day together. (like who's turning on the 'genny' directing suppliers or setting up the garden games and name cards!)

Our team have been planning marquee weddings for many years and can tell you first hand just how many small and unexpected details there are to consider as well as how much admin time it takes to pull everything together. Planning a wedding, whether it’s in Devon or anywhere else, is a full-time job. Let’s be real, you’ve probably already got enough on your plate with work, family and tasting all the wedding cake flavour options! By handing over the reins to a seasoned pro like West Country Wedding Planner,

you save time, stress and you can focus on the fun stuff.
