The most perfect marquee with all the trimmings!

We opted for a 2 pole sail cloth tent which was just perfect for our wedding day. Events Under Canvas also supplied all of our interiors, from the tables and chairs through to the lighting and decorations too. It all looked absolutely amazing. The people who set up the marquee were great. They walked us through everything we needed to know for the big day and even dropped everything to come and resolve an issue with the generator on the day too. They really were fantastic!
