Sarah and Jeremy - A Marquee wedding in Essex

I had the pleasure of helping Jeremy and Sarah plan their June wedding earlier this year. Jeremy is a pilot and so the couple had selected to have their reception in a marquee at Andrewsfield in Stebbing, Essex. Fortunately they were able to use the marquee from a wedding the weekend before so that bit was fairly straight forward.
There are so many things to consider when planning a marquee wedding in Hertfordshire, Kent or Surrey because you need to hire everything in and there are lots of logistically things to think about. Size of marquee, how many tables and chairs, power, dance floor, lighting, toilets and the list goes on. It really is worth consulting a wedding planner in London if you are going to have a marquee wedding.
There's lots to tell you about the big day, and I will, but one of the absolute highlights was the arrival of the bride and groom to the reception by plane. It was absolutely brilliant. Thought you might like to see some of my pictures of the big day.

Supplier Focus, Vicarage Marquee's

I can honestly say I love a marquee wedding. For a wedding planner in Essex they can involve a lot of work and planning but you have a totally blank canvas.
I have worked with lots of marquee companies over the years but Vicarage Marquee's is one of the best. A few years ago wedding band in Essex, One Foot in the Groove were asked by the owner, John to play for his wedding. Of course the marquee was fabulous, we had an area just off to the side of the main dining area with a stage, great lighting a black and white dance floor. We created a real party vibe for all of the guests.
Since  John and Emma got married I have worked with Vicarge Marquee's on several occasions, in fact I hired John to provide one of my clients whose wedding I planned last Summer with a marquee for their renewal of vows and 40th birthday party.
The best thing about working with experts in their field is the fact that you can totally rely on them to provide you with exactly what they have promised. I know John will do everything he can to make my event great. When you come to hire a marquee company you need to ask them several questions. Firstly can they advise you on the size and the siting of your marquee? DO they have a MUTAmarq? What sort of floors do they have ? very important if you are putting your marquee on an uneven field. Ask them if they can provide you with tables, chairs, bars, lighting and dance floors. Vicarge Marquee's have all this and more. Whatever you need they will be able to supply it. John will also draw you a plan and what they call a CAD drawing, a 3d drawing of how they marquee will look with all the tables laid out.

Heart FM Wedding Show - Part 2

On the Sunday at the Brentwood Centre, Essex wedding band, One Foot in the Groove provided the live music in the marquee. Throughout the day they played some party songs to get all the couples in the mood. This very versatile Essex wedding band were also able to play some lovely background jazz and swing, perfect for a drinks reception or wedding breakfast.
In the main arena you could find everything from cakes to gorgeous dresses,  photo booths to flowers. It really was wedding world.

I must say a big thank you to John at Vicarge Marquees, Richard at Fuud Ltd and Paul from MD Entertainments for allowing myself and the band to perform in the marquee over a very busy weekend.
