“Where are the best marquee venues for my event?” is one of the questions we are asked often. The simple answer is that marquees are incredibly versatile and can be installed in a wide variety of locations. Whether you are planning a private garden party, an elegant wedding, or a large corporate event, there is usually a marquee solution to suit your venue.
Marquees in Your Garden
For many clients, there is no better venue than their own garden. Garden marquees are particularly popular for weddings, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, and family gatherings.
One of the biggest advantages of a garden marquee is that it can often be connected directly to your home, creating a seamless extension of your living space. This allows guests to move easily between the house and marquee while providing the convenience and privacy of hosting an event at home.
Many clients choose window walls, which can be rolled up during warm weather. Not only does this provide excellent ventilation, but it also helps incorporate the beauty of the garden into the event space. A garden marquee offers a unique combination of flexibility, comfort, and a truly personal setting.
Best Marquee Venues for your Celebration
If you are planning a larger event and do not have sufficient space at home, hiring a venue can be an excellent option. Stately homes, barns, hotels, golf clubs, rugby clubs, and other sporting venues often provide stunning outdoor areas that are ideal for marquee installations.
Some of our favourite marquee venues include:
- Battersea Park Venues, including the Battersea Pump House and Bowling Green
- The Great Barn at Headstone Manor
- Roehampton Golf Club
These marquee venues typically offer beautiful grounds alongside practical amenities such as toilet facilities, parking, and catering infrastructure, helping to make event planning much easier. The combination of a prestigious venue and a bespoke marquee allows you to create a truly unique event space tailored to your requirements.
Spotlight on Robert Denholm House
We recently visited Robert Denholm House, a stunning stately home in Nutfield, Surrey, conveniently located with excellent access to Gatwick Airport.
The venue impressed us with its beautifully landscaped grounds, providing an exceptional setting for large marquee events. It is particularly well suited to grand weddings, including Asian celebrations, as well as corporate functions and gala events, with space for marquees seating up to 500 guest or 1000 people standing.
Robert Denholm House offers a wedding licence and a range of flexible event spaces, allowing clients to choose from indoor areas, outdoor grounds, or a combination of both. Various hire packages are available to suit different event requirements, providing maximum flexibility when planning your special occasion.
The venue also offers all the essential amenities needed for a successful event, including furniture, toilet facilities, and ample on-site parking for guests.
Finding the Perfect Marquee Venue
The perfect marquee venue depends on the style, size, and atmosphere you want to create. Whether you choose the intimacy of your own garden, the prestige of a historic venue, or the flexibility of a country estate, a marquee allows you to transform almost any location into a unique event space.
