    In the grounds of a grand house in rural Northamptonshire, Kingsmead Marquees pulled out all the stops to create the perfect setting for a 180 seated wedding

    The challenge was how to meet the customers requirements ~ 180 seated guests, provide fantastic views, a hidden dance area, an inviting entrance canopy leading to the reception / drinks marquee, internal mobile toilet area and finally a large kitchen ~ all within a large, beautiful, but unusually shaped lawn. 

    After having the imagination of positioning the top table underneath the key feature ~ a clear PVC roof section, everything else just flowed naturally, and when it came to the installation, 3 days of hard work provided the results, stunning.

    I still look so fondly back on our wedding day photos - the marquee you built for us was truly beautiful and the process with you was smooth and felt easy, despite it being quite a complicated build I’m sure! You provided a magical backdrop for a magical day. Memories that indeed last forever.
