Sailcloth Marquee Hire

Making Your Rustic Wedding Dreams Come True..

Sailcloth marquees are gaining popularity among couples who want a wedding venue that combines the rustic appeal of outdoor settings with the sophistication of traditional marquees.

Options for a fully rustic vibe include:

– Coir matting flooring
– Rustic Wooden Chairs & Tables
– LED Fairy Lighting
– Choice of Wooden Bars
– Choice of Dance floors
– Festoon Lighting on Poles (outside)
– Luxury Toilet Trailers
– Power Generators

Our sailcloth marquees are suitable for guest numbers of up to 250 guests formally seated with space for a dance & bar area within the structure.

If your guest numbers are higher than this it is likely you will need a clearspan marquee as an alternative.

Sailcloth marquees are available for hire between April – early October. For any weddings outside this date you would require a clearspan marquee as an alternative.

For rustic-themed sailcloth marquee weddings, connecting with nature is essential. Sailcloth marquees effortlessly merge the outdoor environment with your wedding decor.

Sailcloth Marquees come with a choice of either panoramic window walls and plain white walls.

Example 1 shows seating for 80 people (on trestle tables) with dance floor and bar.

Example 2 shows seating for 60 people (on round tables) with a dance floor and bar.

Abacus provided us with a stunning marquee for our wedding in North Hertfordshire. The team were extremely experienced and professional helping us achieve the vision we wanted. They have a great list of providers who they could work with, introducing us to our DJ, power supplier etc. The team who put the marquee up were friendly and helped put up our home made decorations, as well as the ones they provided. They really helped make the day special for us.

I recently used Abacus for my wedding, renting a marquee and many other details like furniture, bar, etc. Throughout the entire process they were extremely professional, helpful and responsive.

We were very happy to hire a marquee from Abacus earlier this month, for our son's wedding at home. Adam did a great job in helping us sort the right dimensions, and was very patient with our requests for various changes to make best use of our available space. The Abacus team were efficient and tidy. They got the marquee up in good time and taken away again promptly after our event. It was easy to work with them. We will be happy to recommend Abacus to our friends. Thank you, Adam!

Recently used abacus not for a marquee although we have worked with them for that on a previous occasion, but this time was for outdoor electric cabling, lighting and the hire of a generator. All of the tean involved from start to finish we're nothing but professional, well mannered and most importantly of more than happy to help with any last-minute changes or adjustments to plans We can't thank every member of the team we crossed paths with enough for all of their time and effort in making my wedding an incredible and unforgettable experience Thank you for everything your end and all your time for making things top tier and the best it could have possibly been. Heres to hoping our paths cross again in the future, and thank you all again Dan and Sean

Abacus provided two marquees and furniture for our daughter’s wedding and helped us with ensuring we had enough power etc . The service was excellent and the team who put them up and took them down very friendly and efficient. An excellent choice if you are hosting an outdoor event.

Fantastic well organised ‘building’ of the marquee for our daughter’s wedding party. Delightful team of ‘boys’ and no complications. Thank you to Mark and your team

I had absolute confidence he would be able to bring to life the vision we had...

“From the moment I met Mark, I had absolute confidence that he would be able to bring to life the vision we had for our wedding. His enthusiasm and capacity for ideas are superb and made everything so much more that we thought possible.

Mark, Adam and the team worked incredibly hard in quite windy and wet conditions to complete the build without once losing that enthusiasm. They even adopted our dog as site mascot which made him very happy.

We’ve had so many compliments about the quality and ambience that the sailcloth marquee gave to the wedding and we can’t thank Abacus enough for its efforts – thank you so much guys!  There’s more tea waiting whenever you want to pop in!”

Having someone who plans & manages events week in week out using our little black book of known, recommended & trusted suppliers to give you complete peace of mind that your event is in the best hands will provide you a worry-free experience for you.

In addition, having an experienced wedding coordinator on the day with enable you to become a guest of your very own wedding.  They will ensure your big day goes on without a hitch and keeping your wedding timings perfectly in line with your itinerary.
