From your request to the last chair collected
Five steps, with one coordinator looking after your order from the first message onward.
Request a reservation
Choose a package or list single items, then add the event date, the venue and the guest count.
We confirm the order
Within one working day we confirm the items, suggest swaps for anything already out, or explain why we cannot take it.
Deposit and site check
A deposit of one third holds the order. For marquees we visit the site or ask for photos of the ground in a message.
Delivery and set up
The crew arrives the day before, pitches the tent, levels the floor and lays out tables and chairs.
Collection
We collect the morning after the event, stack everything away and leave the lawn as we found it.
Pitched by our crew, never left to guesswork
Every tent and dance floor is put up by our own crew, who check the ground, the slope and the access before the first pole goes in. Tell us about sprinkler pipes, cables or soft ground on the request form, and we plan the pegs or weights around them.
Tents are not pitched in winds above 60 km/h, and the crew lead makes that call on the day. Some councils and venues require a permit or a safety certificate for larger tents; the rules vary by country and by town, so check with your local authority, and we supply the sizes and weights they ask for.
- Crew of two to six, depending on the order
- Pegs on lawns, weights on hard ground
- Access of at least 1.2 metres to the site
- Rain sides and gutters for every marquee
Decor to finish the look
Add any of these to a package or a single item order, and they travel in the same van with no extra delivery charge. Each piece is priced on the confirmation.
- Fairy light canopies
- Ceiling drapes
- Wooden arches
- Flower walls
- Lanterns and candle jars
- Cake tables
- Lounge sofas
- Back bars
- Photo backdrops
- Easels for seating plans
- Coat rails
- Glassware and crockery
Describe the look you want in the message box, colours included, and we suggest pieces from the warehouse that suit it.
Set ups from recent weekends
Weddings, family lunches, birthdays and office parties, on lawns, courtyards and fields.
Notes from people who threw the party (example reviews)
The marquee went up on Friday in light rain, and by Saturday afternoon it looked like a ballroom. On Sunday morning the crew had everything packed before we finished breakfast.
We needed sixty chairs, eight tables and some heaters at short notice. The confirmation listed every item and the delivery time, and nothing was missing.
The canopy, bar and sofas turned our car park into a summer party. The coordinator checked the access width with us twice so the van fitted.
Tents, weather and the small print
How far ahead should we reserve?
Four to six months for summer weddings and marquees, and two to three weeks for chairs and tables. Late requests are often possible, so send one anyway.
Do you set everything up?
Yes for tents, dance floors and lighting, which only our crew puts up. Tables and chairs are laid out to your plan, or left stacked if you prefer to arrange them yourselves.
What ground can a tent stand on?
Lawns take pegs, while patios, car parks and courtyards need weights. Tell us the ground type on the request, and for marquees we check it before we confirm.
What happens if the weather turns?
Marquees come with rain sides and gutters. If wind on the day is above the safe limit, we will not pitch, and we either move your date or refund the tent hire.
Can we collect small orders ourselves?
Yes. Chairs, tables and linen can be collected from the warehouse during opening hours, which removes the delivery charge.
What if something gets broken?
Accidents happen at parties. Broken or lost items are charged at replacement cost, listed on the confirmation, and ordinary wear and wine on the linen are never charged.
Request a reservation
Tell us the event date, the venue and what you would like to hire. We check the warehouse shelves, and within one working day you hear whether the order is confirmed, needs a swap, or clashes with a date already taken.
- Nothing is reserved until we confirm it
- Deposit and payment are arranged directly with us
- Delivery time agreed before the day
Call the warehouse
Phone during opening hours to talk through an order, or write and the coordinator answers before the end of the next working day.
