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.

Melanie’s 40th Birthday Party Marquee

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

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!

Mike’s Wedding in Studland

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

We are having a really busy week this week, and here is the first event for your viewing.

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.
