We were extremely delighted to once again secure the contract for the Swanage Folk Festival where we created two of their venues (the most superior in my mind!) at their usual picturesque site overlooking the sea in Swanage, Dorset.
We supplied on hire two 12m structures and three entrance / storage “pods” as well as 800 folding chairs and three stages.
The Dorset Wildlife Trust..ed us to install early in the morning two marquees to be used in their community event where the public enjoyed a range of activities and learnt about all sorts of wildlife. The event was held in The Marsh in Blandford Dorset.
We have now taken delivery of a further 1200 Folding Chairs making us now the largest stockholder of furniture to hire in Dorset! …. probably :@)
So if your holding an event that requires bums to be comfortable then sit down and relax with us!!!
A very unusual garden was the venue for a wedding reception in Parkstone, Dorset.
Unusual as it was on different levels and odd angles and it even had a very sharp drop to contend with, however, one thing it did have was a brilliant view of Poole Harbour and beyond to the Purbecks. To take advantage of those views, we installed our panoramic window walls.
We were tasked with installing a 6m wide marquee as the main dining area, although a corner of the marquee was hanging over the edge of the sloped garden, although combining the marquee with our award winning hardwood flooring meant that we could do this safely!
MAY DAY MAY DAY
One of the clients own gazebos blew over and was damaged the day before the big day, so last minute we were called to come back to the site to install a 6m x 3m marquee on the patio to provide more covering for guests. – Thanks Elegance Ashley for dropping everything and coming to the rescue!!
We also created the wow factor inside the marquees by hiring our new spandex table covers in Black for the large round tables and White for the poseur bar tables.
Last weekend saw team elegance creating five superior wedding venues in Dorset and Wiltshire. The elegance boys started off by delivering all the equipment necessary to create a superior wedding venue (apart from the tent itself) to Dean’s Court House in Wimborne. The team there has just started to hire out the house for weddings and functions this year and information can be found here (http://www.deanscourt.org/).
Next on our hit list was to install the venue for Richard and his bride to be at Birkin House (http://www.birkinhouse.com/), near Dorchester where we are lucky enough to be one of the main suppliers of marquees and event equipment. This marquee had a separate catering tent where Amanda, David and Louise from Merlins Catering (http://www.merlinscatering.co.uk/) were hard at work preparing a feast for the happy event. We also provided all the equipment for the Bar, including chillers and pumps and of course the lovely liquid itself!
Then we were back with Andrew and Alex over looking Poole harbour at Harry Warren House (http://www.harrywarrenhouse.com/) in Studland, this venue must be one of the best if you like your sea views! Aurelia instructed us to install the marquee to the side of the house, a new place for us, as we normally install the marquees in front of the house where its more level. No problem though, using our flooring system we managed, with the help of over 1500 pieces of packing wood, to level the floor and install the marquee. Another catering tent was professionally guttered and ducted to the main marquee and this time the team at Nomad catering (http://www.nomadfood.co.uk/food/) providing the delicious food.
Moving next to Nothe Fort in Weymouth (http://www.nothefort.org.uk/) and going from an unlevel site to a perfectly level parade ground, although this site still has it’s challenges, and one of them is not to use stakes to anchor the marquee so bang, load on the flooring system boys, another occasion where we were glad that we have invested so much into the flooring and are now the largest stockholder of this type of flooring in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire! This time the hog roast food was provided by Posh Pigs (http://www.poshpigshogroast.com/)
Lastly, we went to Wiltshire for Becky to install her marquee at Gurston Farm, a new venue for us but the great thing there is that they have a hall which has a kitchen, bar and toilet facilities right next to where the marquee was sited avoiding the need to hire it all in. Best of all was the view to be had over the valley.
We were chosen to provide an extension to Peter’s home in Mudeford, Dorset for his birthday celebrations. Only one problem…… there was a wall in the way! but as one of our elegance boys Ashley says “we will tackle anything put in our way…when you hit a wall in life…just build a marquee over it!”
We also hired poseur/ bar tables, table linen and chairs.
“With the recent heatwave the marquee came in really useful for some shade”, that’s the comments received when the elegance boys Ashley and Chris, turned up to collect our 3m marquee from a private property in Southborne, Dorset. Sue & Steve celebrated their birthdays and said goodbye to their friends before moving to Cornwall with a big party held at their home.
We provided a marquee as an extention to their home coupled with our innovative flooring system to level off the site especially where the drive dropped away towards the road.
We all wish you the best of luck for the future.
What a drop…..
It was a glorious day last weekend when we were requested to appear at one of the most prestigious and well know hotels in Bournemouth, Dorset, the Royal Bath.
We were asked to cover a live demonstration by Aspirational Weddings http://www.aspirationalweddings.com/of ice carving by a local company In Ice Designs http://www.inicedesigns.co.uk/ who make bespoke ice sculptures for any event.
We also displayed at the hotel our new spandex coloured table linen, so if your having your wedding reception at The Royal Bath and want that wow factor for your tables, you know where to ask! 
Congratulations to Pauline and John on their wedding which happened last weekend. We all hope you had a lovely day and was nice and warm in the marquee which we hired at their home in Southborne, Dorset.
As the garden just outside the patio doors had an unlevel surface and a slight raised concrete area, we installed our hardwood flooring to provide a level surface. As well as ivory linings with vivid purple valances, we hired lighting and furniture.
Thanks to Nick and Chris who installed & striked this project.
Wow what another amazing weekend we had at the BIC Wedding Show 2011 held in Bournemouth, DORSET. For this exhibition we had pride of place right at the front of the show and what a start we provided for the show! as soon as you walked through the doors everyone knew they were coming to the largest wedding exhibition in the south.
We installed our 9m demo marquee in our corporate purple and white colours, even the carpet was colour coordinated just showing what can be done when you hire a marquee from us coupled with your imagination.
Also making their debut was our purple and white spandex table covers, coupled with our lovely lime wash chavari banqueting chairs. Our squared crockery looked fantastic against this.
We even debuted for the first time our nightsky laser which really worked well creating an amazing array of moving patterns on the roof and wall linings.
It just goes to show that we can even do more next time, when another exhibitor, Southbourne Florists (www.southbourneflorist.co.uk), walked past and said that the tables could do with some flowers. The very next day, lovely table centres appeared matching our colour theme! – Thanks very much Tracy!
Well, thank you to all those who visited our stand, this is what they saw:
