FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
What is your most memorable wedding?
Unfortunately we do not usually get invited to the weddings but we are always keen, especially if there is a free bar!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Boho with a traditional twist. Festoons (pretty sure they are not adjectives but we just love festoons!)
What about your business are you most proud of?
Seeing the excitement grow on the bride face as we complete their set up.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Plan for the rain (sorry!)
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I'm always intrigued to what our couple's first dance is and why they have chosen that song
How do you create an ambiance in a marquee?
We don't do marquees! The great thing with our Tents is that they require minimal dressing as their natural colours blend in with the stunning English countryside.
Where is the most exciting place that you have put a marquee?
We are privileged to set up Tents in some of the most stunning and iconic venues across Sussex. These include, The Walled Garden at Cowdray, Lenadaress Lee Garden's and Arundel Castel
What is your record time for putting up your marquee?
Stretch Tents are relatively quick to set up compared to traditional marquees. But we dont rush our jobs. We want to make sure they are flawless, not set up quickly.
What is your favourite design of marquee and why?
A floating canopy of a Stretch Tent. A modern classic
