LOVIN’ Al fresco Now that outdoor weddings and civil partnerships have been made permanent, say ‘I do’ in a yurt, tipi or woodland venue BARNY LEE MARQUEES, COVERING SOUTHERN ENGLAND AND WALES With Barny Lee Marquees, couples can create a unique wedding in a setting that’s personal to them and tailored to the grounds. The marquees can be positioned to take in panoramic views and can incorporate natural elements such as water features, flowerbeds and trees. The framed, modular marquees offered are one of the most versatile structures on the market. They can be installed with as many walls and windows as required and can be assembled to create the perfect fit for the size and shape of the venue, from the classic square or rectangular structures to L-shaped ones. A framed marquee is supported by an external frame eliminating the need for internal structures for support. As a result, there’s a clear open space that’s unobstructed along the length of the marquee. The marquee interior can be tailored to the chosen theme using marquee linings, dancefloors, stages, party accessories, bars and lighting. The decorative marquee linings come in a range of styles and colours, such as traditional pleated linings or more subtle flat ones which provide a clean, modern look. The company also offer themed and starlit linings to add some sparkle. As experienced wedding organisers, the team can help plan all aspects of the reception with an array of bars, furniture and accessories for hire. Couples can create a wish list using the product hire page on their website: https://barnyleemarquees.co.uk/product-hire-range. They offer a full design, planning and production service starting with a consultation and site visit and should the couple want their guests to stay over, Barny Lee Marquees also offer a range of luxury glamping accommodation including bell tents and safari tents. As founders of The Glastonbury Retreat and The Badminton Retreat, they’re a team that knows what it’s doing when it comes to luxury glamping! Ceremony licence?
