Award-Winning Stretch Tent Hire

When planning our winter wonderland wedding from abroad, finding a reputable, reliable, and genuinely friendly supplier felt like a challenge — especially as I come from a construction background and have very high standards. Abacus Marquee and Event Hire exceeded every expectation. From the very first interaction, I was blown away by their responsiveness. Mark from Abacus contacted me within 24 hours of my initial enquiry, making him the fastest of the four marquee companies I reached out to. Not only was he quick to respond, but he also provided a clear, detailed, and well-considered quote from the outset. Throughout the entire planning and coordination process, Mark and his team were exceptional. They were proactive in providing information, visited the site to ensure there were no gaps, and worked seamlessly alongside our other suppliers. Their attention to detail, organisation, and willingness to support the wider planning process made everything feel easy and efficient. The setup itself was handled with absolute professionalism. A full team arrived three days prior to the wedding to ensure everything was installed and functioning perfectly ahead of time. Despite challenging weather conditions during setup, the Abacus team were immediately on hand to resolve issues — always responsive, never missing a call or message. On the wedding day, the marquee was simply stunning and played a huge role in creating the atmosphere we had envisioned. We truly had the best day, and the space looked gorgeous. Post-wedding, true to their word, the team de-rigged within two days, leaving the site in immaculate condition. I would highly recommend Abacus Marquee and Event Hire to anyone looking to create a truly one-of-a-kind event. One of the biggest advantages of working with Abacus is that they have all event components in-house, which makes the planning process far more streamlined. They also offer an excellent range of styles to suit different tastes. The quality they deliver is absolutely worth the cost.

We booked the sailcloth marquee for our summer garden wedding with over 100 guests & it was perfect for our vibe. Mark was excellent at communicating throughout & listened to exactly what we needed. The set up was clean & professional and there was absolutely no signs the marquee was there after take down! The team were friendly & thorough & we'd happily recommend!

We hired abacus marquee for our wedding in St Albans and they couldn’t have been better!! The whole process was so easy, they provided everything from furniture, to lighting, to dance floor, even the outdoor loos! The team set up the day before the wedding and that evening I asked if we could get any outdoor lighting, they sent someone round first thing on the wedding morning to put it up - we were totally impressed! Would recommend to anyone needing a marquee!

We had an amazing tri-zone marquee for our wedding in June. The central area looked amazing with a wooden round bar with a flower wreath above. Our chill out zone had a clear roof which looked so amazing in the evening and the black sparkle dance floor and starlight roof created the perfect atmosphere for the party. The three zones worked incredibly well. Mark and the team were great from the initial phone enquiry right through to the clear up the day after. We need another celebration, just so that we can use Abacus again! We’d definitely have the tri-zone marquee again. It was perfect.

Mark was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and the marquee for our wedding was fantastic! They went the extra mile to help with our decorations and I would highly recommend Abacus Marquees to anyone.

Thank you to the team at Abacus marquees for helping us to transform our garden into a wonderful wedding venue in just under 5 weeks! The team were so helpful and a special thanks to Zulika and her colleague on the day who ensured everything went so well, truly professional!
