As we could not stake the marquee in the usual way, we used our hardwood flooring  system to safely site the marquee in place and provide a firm floor for Mr Palmer’s animals to walk on!

Happy Easter Everyone :@)

We also were informed today that we are finally allowed after six years of trying, to be allowed to install our superior structures and equipment at the house. Good news for all our clients!

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!

When LUSH, the global successful cosmetic company that are based in Poole gave us a call requiring marquees for two separate events at their head offices, we leapt at the opportunity to demonstrate our “superior venues”.

We installed our 6m marquee complete with hardwood flooring, litedeck stage, and blackout lining for an area where presentations were to be held. The 9m marquee, had a much larger stage and also our renowned hardwood flooring system for the LUSH FEST 2010 which also featured live music.

Thanks Matt & Gary for your faith in us.

Mike got in touch with us earlier this year requiring a marquee with a separate catering area in a stunning location in Studland near Swanage overlooking Poole Harbour.

We installed our 12m range of marquees to accommodate 110 guests in comfort on our Limewash Chavari banqueting chairs and round tables. There was also a large open area used for reception drinks and later dancing and entertainment. Apart from our candelabras and mood lighting, the client also organised a large truss with lighting and smoke machines for his guests to enjoy.

Other equipment arranged and installed included coat rails, easel, trailer toilets, trailer generator with distribution and hardwood doors.

We were tasked to attach one of our 9m marquees alongside a prestigious car dealership in Poole. The occasion was the product launch of the new Audi A8 at Poole Audi.

The marquee was used to hide the cars before they were driven through black curtains and dry ice into the dealership where invited guests were waiting on our limewash chavari banqueting chairs.

We also provided trestle tables and associated linen and installed a full blackout lining so noone could get a sneak preview.

The challange with this event was to erect the marquee without using stakes. Whilst we would normally use our hardwood flooring system to overcome this problem it was not practical and so ballast tanks were used to ratchet the marquee in situ.

Firstly we installed our 9m range of marquee for a motorcycle rally at Lodmoor Park near Weymouth. Thousands of Harley Davidson bikes and their riders made their way from all around the county to the venue to listen to music and show their bikes.

We also installed our 12m range of marquee to a local holiday park near Poole which needed a superior venue for over 250 guests for an exclusive owners party. Guests were seated on folding chairs and sat around our 6ft Round Tables which comfortably accommodates 10 guests each.

One part of their entertainment was Bucks Fizz who delighted guests on top of our new 2010 litedeck stage.

We also welcomed our newest team member Chris who is pictured here next to the marquee. When asked by me whether he could make this installation successful, he replied: “It’s in the bag”

We had a successful day and have already written to all the couples who visited our stand requesting information.

Upton House is a licensed venue close to Poole where you can get married and have a marquee  reception.

The next wedding fair we will be attending will be at Wilton House, near Salisbury

We have another order today! – Thanks to Martin of our local Yacht Club.

We will be installing our 9m range of structures with an annexe for food preparation. Again the marquee will be fitted out with our wooden flooring system to provide a hard surface to dance on. The marquee will be fitted with panoramic windows to take full advantage of the amazing view over Poole harbour.
