We're considering a marquee wedding. What factors do we need to think about with this type of venue?
Creating your own marquee wedding is very rewarding but can be hard work. However, there are far more pros than cons! The first thing I would suggest is to find out what's included within the price of the marquee and what are the add-ons. Many people believe that all venues include the necessities, but unfortunately this isn't always the case. You need to ensure you budget for everything you need.
The greatest reward with this type of wedding is that it's a blank canvas for you to work with, allowing you to add your own style and reflect your personalities. Don't feel you have to struggle alone. It's a great idea to hire a wedding planner, and some venues will offer this as part of the service.
