Essex Sailcloth Marquee Hire

Bring Your Rustic Wedding Vision to Life

Sailcloth marquees are becoming a favourite choice for couples seeking a venue that blends the natural charm of the outdoors with the elegance of a traditional marquee.

To create a fully rustic atmosphere, you can choose from features such as:

  • Coir matting flooring

  • Rustic wooden chairs & tables

  • LED fairy lights

  • Wooden bar options

  • A selection of dance floors

  • Outdoor festoon lighting on poles

  • Luxury toilet trailers

  • Power generators

Our sailcloth marquees can accommodate up to 250 guests seated formally, with additional space for a dance floor and bar inside the structure. For larger guest numbers, a clearspan marquee may be more suitable.

Sailcloth marquees are available for hire from April through early October. Weddings outside of this season would typically require a clearspan marquee alternative.

Perfect for rustic-themed celebrations, sailcloth marquees create a seamless connection with nature, enhancing your décor with their light and airy design.

You can also choose between panoramic window walls or classic plain white walls to complement your wedding style.

It is recommended with some of these configurations that some of the tables are packed away after dining to give more space for standing/dancing.  Alternatively go up a size to give you more space between the dining area and the dance area

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.

A massive thanks to the team at Abacus for providing us our wedding Marquee which was beautiful! We had a slight hiccup (my fault) which the team sorted for me and resolved so quickly! I would definitely use this company again for all future events!

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.
