Bespoke Marquee Hire in Essex
Create an event space designed around your setting, guest numbers and plans with bespoke marquee hire from Ruby’s Marquees.
We provide tailored marquees across Essex for weddings, garden parties, private celebrations, corporate occasions and film and television productions.
Create a Marquee Venue Around Your Occasion
A marquee gives you the freedom to host your event within a private garden, country property, venue grounds or another suitable outdoor setting.
Instead of adapting your plans to an existing room, the structure and interior can be arranged around the way you want guests to dine, celebrate and move through the event.
Ruby’s Marquees plans every Essex installation individually. We consider the available
ground, access, guest numbers, event schedule and features needed inside the marquee before recommending a suitable setup.
Our team will visit the location, take accurate measurements and discuss your requirements. This allows us to prepare a marquee plan and quotation based on the site itself rather than relying on a standard package.



Our Marquees
Marquee Hire Across Essex for Weddings and Events
Wedding Marquees
Create a wedding venue within your chosen garden, private grounds or outdoor location.
Ruby’s Marquees provides wedding marquee hire across Essex for ceremonies, wedding breakfasts, evening receptions and pre-wedding celebrations.
The interior can be planned around your seating arrangements, catering, entertainment, dance floor and styling, with different areas created to support each stage of the day.
Party and Garden Marquees
Host your celebration at home while providing guests with a comfortable space for dining and entertainment.
We install garden marquees throughout Essex for birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, family occasions, summer parties and seasonal celebrations.
The structure and layout will be developed around the available garden space, the number of people attending and how you intend to use the marquee.
Corporate Marquees
Ruby’s Marquees creates temporary event spaces for businesses, schools, organisations and professional occasions across Essex.
Corporate marquees can be used for hospitality, exhibitions, launches, presentations, staff celebrations and outdoor events.
We’ll plan the interior around your programme and attendee numbers, with appropriate space for catering, networking, displays, presentations or entertainment.
Film and Television Marquees
We also provide temporary structures for film and television productions working throughout Essex and the surrounding areas.
Marquees can be configured for crew catering, wardrobe, holding areas, production offices and other operational facilities required alongside a filming location.
Planned Around Your Essex Garden, Grounds or Venue
Event locations across Essex can range from residential gardens and village settings to larger private grounds and outdoor venues.
Each site presents different considerations. The dimensions and condition of the ground, vehicle access, existing landscaping and surrounding structures will all influence the most appropriate marquee.
During your free onsite visit, we’ll assess:
- The usable length and width of the installation area
- Access for installation vehicles, equipment and the team
- The level and condition of the ground
- Grassed, paved or mixed installation surfaces
- Trees, planting, patios and permanent outdoor features
- Nearby buildings, outbuildings, walls and boundaries
- Appropriate entrances and exits for guests
- Space for seating, dining and comfortable circulation
- Areas needed for entertainment, dancing or staging
- The marquee structure and layout best suited to the location
This assessment helps us identify the practical requirements early and prepare a quotation based on the actual site.
Complete Your Marquee Interior
Ruby’s Marquees can provide the structure alongside the practical and decorative elements needed to create a comfortable, finished event setting.
Depending on your plans, the installation can include:
- Marquee structure and professional installation
- Hardwood flooring and carpet
- Interior lining and draping
- Tables and chairs
- Event lighting
- Heating
- Dance floors
- Staging
- Practical event furnishings

We’ll discuss the available options and recommend features suited to the season, style of occasion, number of guests and way the marquee will be used.
