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.

Cold? Not in this tent!

Hello Everyone,

Imagine, your wedding day is tomorrow and the weather turns chilly and your guests are coming to your tent. That’s the dilemma Gemma and Dan had last Friday when they gave us a call.

The challagne was on! Even though they needed are Indirect Thermostat Controlled Heaters the next day, we were able to assist. The photo shows the unit providing hot warm air through the ducting into their tent. (Not supplied by us :0( )

The location was Sheldon Manor near Chippenham, Wiltshire. Yes it’s not only Dorset – now we have a growing list of Elegance friends in Wiltshire! The tranquility of Sheldon Manor makes it a perfect setting for small weddings or other special occassions.

Wilton House Wedding Exhibition

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Hello All,

Thanks Dawn, Tammy and Julie for putting together a fantastic show at Wilton House near , Salisbury in Wiltshire.

Wilton is famous for producing quality carpets and for its stately home Wilton House, which proved to be a fantastic venue. The general opinion amongst exhibitors was that the day was very successful. It was the first time that Jos was on our stand alone and what a success she had with 18 potential clients giving us their details requesting information. Thanks Jos for stepping into my shoes and running the stand for me whilst I oversaw another site back in Bournemouth.

We erected our 9m marquee with a 3m walkway leading back into Wilton house. The main marquee was completed with hardwood flooring and full linings in Burgundy. We also provided heating, tables, lighting, electrics, matting, guttering systems & more.

Here’s the photos:
