Do you dream of finding a wedding venue that doesn't stipulate your guest numbers, or which suppliers you use? Are you looking for a space to have a wedding of your dream?

If this is the case, have you considered a marquee? If you're lucky enough to have a family member with a large garden or can hire a land from the local authority, this could be your perfect choice for a personalised venue.
