“We hired a marquee for my mum’s 60th in our back garden and honestly didn’t expect it to look this good.”
Heated, beautifully lit, completely transformed the space. Couldn’t recommend Ruby’s Marquees enough.

A space built entirely for your celebration.
A garden party marquee gives you complete control over your event.
No venue restrictions, no fixed layouts, no compromise on guest numbers.
Just your own outdoor space, transformed into exactly the setting your celebration deserves.
From an intimate garden party tent for a handful of guests to a full festival marquee for a larger event, we design every structure around what you actually need, not what happens to be available.
What’s Included
Everything your party marquee needs, in one package
One team handles the structure, flooring, lighting, furniture and heating. No coordinating suppliers and no chasing quotes.
Structure and design
Bespoke marquee structures, sized to your guest count and the shape of your venue. Clear span frames mean no internal poles, so the full floor is usable and every guest has a clear view of the top table.
Pleated ivory ceilings and linings come as standard, with starlight ceilings, clear roof panels and coloured drapes to match your scheme. Level flooring on any ground, waterproof throughout, and discreet heating for cooler months.
Bespoke Flooring
Hardwood, carpet and matting options, laid over a solid subfloor levelled to your ground. Sloping lawns, gravel, driveways and uneven paving are all fine. We scaffold and shim underneath so the finished surface sits flat underfoot.
Choose a finish to suit the day, from warm hardwood to carpet in your colour, or matting for a more relaxed setting. Dance floors, parquet or chequer, can be set wherever they work best in the layout.
Lining and draping
Elegant Interior lining and draping that turns a structure into a venue. Fully pleated ceilings and wall linings come as standard in ivory, with swagged or flat finishes and uprights draped to soften the frame.
From there we tailor it to your theme: coloured linings, contrasting sashes, starlight ceilings, and clear roof panels where the view is worth keeping.
Chandeliers, festoons and uplighters are fitted as part of the build.
Furniture
Tables, chairs and styled furniture for your ceremony and reception, selected to complement your wedding’s overall feel. Round tables for traditional seating, long trestles for a banquet look, plus cake tables and bars sized to the layout.
Chairs to match the setting, from limewash or gold Chiavari to chapel and crossback, cushioned in your colour. We set everything out to the agreed floor plan before your florist and caterer arrive.
Lighting
From soft ambient lighting through to statement chandeliers, we design lighting that sets the tone for your day and carries it into the evening. Festoon strings for a warm glow, chandeliers where you want a focal point, uplighters to wash the linings in colour.
Everything runs on dimmers, so the room can lift for speeches, settle over dinner and drop when the dance floor opens. All wired and hidden within the build.
Choosing the Right Marquee Hire
Every party marquee we build uses the same clearspan (frame) structure, so your space stays open and flexible, whether you’re planning a birthday, garden party, or festival-style event. See how our sizes and lining options work on our Clearspan Marquee Hire page, or jump straight to your price estimate using our calculator.
| Guests (Standing/Buffet) | Recommended Size | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 | 4.5m x 6m | An intimate garden party |
| Up to 90 | 4.5m x 12m | A milestone birthday or family celebration |
| Up to 150 | 6m x 18m | A larger celebration with a bar and DJ |
| Up to 300 | 9m x 24m | A festival-style event or large summer party |
| Up to 450 | 12m x 27m | A big outdoor celebration with multiple zones |
These figures are based on standing and mingling space. If you’re planning a bar, dance floor, food stalls, or separate zones for different activities, we’d usually recommend sizing up so guests can move freely, our team can help you plan the layout when you get in touch.
