What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I would say to firstly look for the type of marquee you might like. With so many different styles of marquees available on the market today it's worth taking a good look around to find one that really fits your ideas in term of looks. It is also worth noting that your budget might need to expand as costs can be quite high. Once you have worked out your budget and which style of marquee you are looking for I would recommend looking at suppliers' photos and online reputation before submitting three quotes. Cheaper is not always better! There must be a reason why someone is offering the same service and product at a much lower cost than anyone else. Perhaps they are just starting out and not have much experience. This can be true even if they display a lot of pictures on their website as a when starting up most companies use stock photos on their website. Or perhaps what their offering isn't a like for like product and service. Their structures might be old and dirty or not of the same quality as others. They might not have added the same extras as another company and/or not offer the same level of service.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

After working for almost two decades in events as a lighting and sound technician I decided to start my own marquee company as I have a strong passion for events. I enjoy the thought that we provide spaces for people to have fun and enjoy their time with family and friends. I also love thinking that newly wedded couples will always remember their big day in and around one of our lovely tents.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

We had a booking for a wedding on some lovely manor grounds in Anglesey, North Wales. The settings and the setup were indeed stunning and we enjoyed the work much. The whole scene was truly magical and I'm afraid words cannot describe it! Add to Event helps grow our business and we look forward to many more bookings.
