One Weekend – Five Wedding Venues Created

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

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.

Green House Hotel has Elegance

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

We have gone all Green this week, teaming up with the Green House Hotel in Bournemouth to provide superior venues for brides to have their receptions at.

Visit their website www.thegreenhousehotel.co.uk to see how amazingly green the hotel is – it truly is amazing, right from the carpets to the wallpaper the house has been refurbished to high green standards. My favorite bit is the reception desk that is made from recycled glass tops.

Lots of brides came to see the hotel at their first wedding fair this weekend, where we also were with our demo marquee complete with hardwood flooring and linings, as proved by the photos below.

So people, if you want a Green wedding reception – you know where to go! ALTHOUGH we do provide other colours to choose from inside our marquees. :@)

Culture Festival

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Hello Everyone,

The latest event we were pleased to assist with was the 1st Bournemouth Culture Festival held in Bournemouth Square over three days over the Easter Bank Holiday.

We were tasked to install five separate marquees  to cover over 20 separate stands for the general public to visit, achieved by using our 6m and 9m range of structures.  We also installed our innovative wooden flooring system to anchor the marquees as there was no way that the marquees could be staked.

Other equipment that was delivered included trestle tables, folding chairs and tea urns. Over 12 tonnes of equipment was delivered and erected!!!

Again, this event had its own challenges, we could only install and dismantle the marquees in one day, so we increased our workforce and was able to get the job done on time and as planned.
