We were really impressed with the quality and size of the marquee! We loved the bar area and also the rustic chairs and tables were beautiful. It was all perfect.

I used English Marquee Company this summer for my 60th birthday party. The organisation was very professional. The chairs, tables and bar were of very high quality and the lighting and dance floor were perfect. Best of all the marquee is stunning giving great views and flexibility to deal with different weather and temperatures. I highly recommend the company.

We chose the small pole marque for our daughters garden party and could not have been happier with the service from the team. They communicated really well from start to finish and most importantly the marque looked great. 100% would recommend to anyone!
