Giving you stress-free experience and able to put your feet up knowing your event is being planned & handled by a multi award-winning Company.

🤔🥳 You're Booked In - What Happens Next?

Thank you for securing your marquee hire with us — we’re excited to be part of your upcoming event!

Now that your marquee is sorted, the real fun (and planning!) begins. Whether you’re organising a garden party, wedding, or private celebration, there’s a lot that goes into bringing everything together.

That’s why we offer Planning Support Packages — to help take the stress out of organising your event and give you as much (or as little) help as you need.

🤔 Why Consider a Support Package?

Many of our clients are surprised by just how much is involved in planning an event around a marquee:

Coordinating suppliers like caterers, bands, toilets, and generators
Making sure power and layout requirements are covered
Dealing with last-minute changes, weather plans, and delivery timings
Ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day

We’ve helped plan hundreds of successful events, and we know where things can easily go wrong — or right. Our support packages give you access to this knowledge and experience, so you’re not on your own.

We Know it was the right decision to go with Abacus...

Wow wow wow Abacus, I have just celebrated my 50th Birthday party and just want to thank you all so much for your brilliant service, team, quality of marquee and everything in it, your advice and professionalism.

From the moment we met Mark the owner of Abacus on a site visit for our event we knew it was the right decision to go with Abacus, I put a lot of faith in them and they certainly did not let me down.

My event coordinator was always at the end of the phone if I had any questions leading up to my party and they gave me great advice helping me turn my vision into a reality.

They introduced me to DJ Panico who absolutely made the night he was fantastic and had my family and friends up dancing all night long, we highly recommend him!

Huge thanks to Ben, Kieran, Rick, George, Jake and Matt for setting up the marquee and everything in it including LED Bar, LED dance floor, starlight cloth interior, doors on the front of the marquee they were hardworking, professional and really worked as a team they were here all day and were an absolute pleasure, nothing was too much trouble and just got on with it!

The same goes for them taking it down and packing it all up after the party. The marquee looked absolutely sensational and everything was such good quality inside and out.

Thank you so much Mark and all at Abacus Marquee and Events for enabling us to have the best night ever!! If anyone is considering hiring a marquee and organising an event please don’t hesitate to contact Abacus we highly recommend them I can promise you, you will definitely not be disappointed!

Your very own Event Coordinator

Your on the day/night event coordinator will be a truly invaluable service. They will be your go to person to sort all of your last minute tasks out that quite simply, you will not have time to do on the day.

You will have access to contact your event coordinator in the run up to your event to discuss your event itinerary to ensure no stone is left unturned.

They will allow you to become a guest of your very own event rather than a host. They will allow you to enjoy whatever you are celebrating in company of your closest friends & family.

You’ll be able to play a part of your event without having the worry of when to turn on the generator, the marquee heater or whether the bar has everything it needs to be stocked up.

They will welcome guests as they arrive and direct them to where they need to be. They will ensure all event staff are in the right place at the right time. They will be your event superstar that you probably didn’t think you needed at first, but are now so grateful for them.

They will ensure you and your guests create memories & experiences you will never forget.

The best bit? We will keep it very secret you had the very best help, by the UK’s highest reviewed events company and pretend you planned, prepped and organised your event all by yourself…
