Lets get 2011 started and what better way than creating a venue for Melanie to celebrate her 40th Birthday Party.
Melanie asked us to install a marquee in her garden in Studland, Dorset which was on a slight slope, which is OK for the friendly pheasant but not so good for guests to dance on. No problem though, our lovely hardwood floor system once again proving invaluable. Once we had a level surface, we installed a 9m x 12m marquee complete with ivory linings throughout. Lighting was provided via black candelabras and LED colour washing up lighters. Other equipment that was hired was our new poseur tables (bar tables) and 4ft round tables & banqueting chairs; bar counters, coat rails and most importantly heating!

Happy New Year firstly to everyone especially those who have helped us over the last year by providing us the opportunity to create venues; and our elegance boys and girls for their hard work in fulfilling our clients expectations.
We were asked by Andy, owner of Mai Tai in Ashley Cross, Poole and Brambles in Broadstone, Dorset to assist his company by hiring furniture at one of his establishments to enable more guests to be seated in the restaurant over this very busy festive period. At the same time at his other bar; to create an outdoor area over his decking so that an extra 60 + new years eve revellers could enjoy the party as well as those in the main bar!
The challenge of this marquee was the very complex different levels of the site, raised flowerbeds, being squeezed between two buildings and a bus shelter, not to mention the very strict Poole council officer who did not want us to encroach onto the pavement. Alas, after a few tense moments, we managed to install one of our 6m clear span marquees into position and everyone was happy!

We were fortunate enough to assist a local entrepreneur to create two ice rinks, one outside his very own house in Southborne, Dorset and another in Fareham, Hampshire over this Christmas and new year period.
We achieved the outdoor ice rink in Dorset by hiring our wooden flooring system that was installed perfectly level across two front gardens, this was then later covered in ice to provide the surface of the rink. Making sure it was level was paramount and we used over 200 concrete blocks and hundreds of pieces of packing wood to achieve this.
The rink in Fareham was laid directly onto a leveled surface, so the only requirement was a marquee to be used as a temporary cafe, reception area and boot room. We installed a 12m x 30m marquee with panoramic windows facing the ice rink.

What amazing temperatures we are having at the moment, -25 in some places!
That does not stop us though! - We had a job to do and a few flakes of snow are not going to stop us.
A local theme park in Christchurch, Dorset required some extra room for masses of children who will be coming to their Santa’s grotto this weekend and we hired our 6m x 12m clear span marquee to fulfill this requirement. Most importantly through, was the hire of our marquee heater to warm the children up!

Wow what cold hands we had this morning when the Elegance boys and I went to dismantle our marquee at Holton Lee near Wareham, Dorset.
The marquee was hired for a joint 30th birthday party over the weekend.
As there was lots of frost on the ground and areas of mud the client wisely choose to have the hardwood flooring system in their 9m marquee which had the capacity to accommodate their 150 guests.
Even the smokers at the party felt special by having their own reception canopy area where they could puff away.
We also provided furniture for the party and lighting to illuminate the tent in these lovely dark winter days.

Even though its October, we are having glorious sunny blue skys most of this week including the day when we saddled up and went to Sturminster Marshall near Blandford in Dorset to install our 9m marquee for Penny’s party.
As there is lots of frost on the ground we installed our innovative hardwood flooring along with ivory roof and wall linings with vivid purple overlays and valances. Most importantly, we also installed two heaters with thermostat controllers to keep guests nice and cosy. Other equipment ordered, bar counters, coat rails, anthracite folding chairs, 6ft round tables, litedeck staging and cream candelabras.
After the installation was completed, the client requested a reception canopy at the entrance to the marquee, we of course were happy to oblige and installed this a few days later

We had a call from Dennis, who’s father Percy, had just passed away. He wanted a superior venue for freinds and relatives to pay their respects in.
We provided a 6m Marquee complete with panoramic windows, trestle tables and table linen.
We installed the marquee close to his assisted flat near Christchurch, Dorset.

We were pleased to assist Tim, a trader which attended this year’s Tank Fest at the Tank Museum in Bovington near Bere Regis, Dorset.
We installed our 6m range of marquee with some trestle tables.
An annual event in The Tank Museum’s calendar and the largest Armed Forces Day event in the region, this year’s Tankfest is gearing up to be the biggest yet with the Army’s contribution expected to attract in excess of last year’s 10,000 visitors.
In addition to a full programme of live tank action displays will be all the familiar highlights of Tankfest that have made it such a popular family event including living history camps, costumed re-enactors, the chance to meet serving soldiers plus a host of other activities and entertainment.

Our friends Stacey and Peter tied the knot this weekend when they got married at Canford Parish Church.
They choose to have their reception at the Horton & Chalbury Village Hall near Horton, Wimborne, Dorset. The stunning barn-style building is now available for hire after just being completed. The large oak floored main hall is around 1,400 sq ft, the Scutt room around 450 sq ft and the kitchen is fully fitted with semi-commercial equipment. For more information on hiring phone 01258 841251.
As the hall only had basic chairs and trestle tables, the Bride and Groom asked us to transform the hall to become more in keeping for a wedding reception. To achieve this we installed our limewash chavari banqueting chairs with round tables covered with our white cotton tablecloths and gold overlays. We also helped with providing glassware and mood LED lighting.
