With marquee hire available across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent, we’ll always visit your site to ensure our marquees are the perfect fit for your special day.

What Size Marquee?

Our Clearspan Marquees are designed with flexibility in mind, manufactured in 3m long bays and available in 3m, 6m, 9m, and 12m widths to perfectly suit any space. With no centre poles, these versatile structures can be built on both hard and soft surfaces, and can even be placed directly adjacent to existing buildings for seamless integration into your event location. They have proven time and time again to be adaptable enough to suit the requirements of almost any site and meet the high standards our clients expect from us.

The size of the marquee you need depends on several factors, including the number of guests and the amenities you wish to include, such as a bar area, dance floor, or stage for a band. When selecting a venue, it’s essential to consider these elements to ensure there is enough space for a suitably sized marquee.

To help you envision how your wedding marquee could be arranged, we’ve provided some example layouts below.

Truly Unique

A clearspan marquee offers endless possibilities for customisation, allowing you to create a truly unique and personalised space for your event. With no interior poles or obstructions, you have complete freedom to design the layout to suit your vision. You can transform the space with bespoke lighting, elegant draping, themed décor, and flooring options to match your style. Large panoramic windows or transparent roof panels can bring in natural light and showcase scenic surroundings, while custom furniture, floral installations, and statement pieces can add a touch of individuality. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek, modern look or a warm, rustic ambiance, a clearspan marquee provides a blank canvas to bring your dream event to life.

Multiple structures can be connected to form distinct “rooms” within the marquee, allowing you to create separate areas for various amenities. This setup enables a seamless flow between spaces such as a bar, dance floor, dining area, and lounge enhancing both functionality and guest experience.

Marquee Accessories

We offer a range of accessories to enhance your marquee, including flooring, lighting, and elegant linings to set the perfect atmosphere. Clear roof panels, gables, and walls provide design flexibility, while stylish entrance areas create a seamless, welcoming arrival.

Marquee Equipment

Alongside our stunning marquees, we offer everything needed for an unforgettable event, from stylish tables and chairs to dance floors, stages, and bars. We also provide luxury toilets, generators, and refrigerated trailers to ensure comfort and convenience, making your event a seamless success.

"We had a wonderful experience with James Marquees. They really worked with us to make our at-home wedding a reality despite some tricky logistics like building it on a tennis court. The team was so helpful and patient from the get-go and accommodating of adjustments as our plans evolved. They did everything for us from the marquee itself, furniture, electrics, toilets to a mirror ball."

Lauren Roberts

"We used James Marquees for our wedding and they couldn’t have been better. Ben was fantastic throughout the process, helping us with decisions and suggestions. They were also more than flexible, allowing us to make some last minute decisions for Plan B due to the weather forecast. The team were very friendly and set up and took down the marquees quickly. The marquees looked absolutely beautiful on the day. Highly recommend Ben and the team at James Marquees!"

Natalie Binnie

"We used James Marquees for our wedding day and we could not be happier. Our marquee was amazing, really high quality and exactly what we wanted. The team were great at advising throughout the planning process and even helped provide some last minute changes due to poor weather over the weekend. We’ll definitely be recommending them. It says a lot that our venue requested the marquee stay for their own event after we were done with ours. Thanks again!"
