Wedding Marquee Hire London.
A venue built entirely around you.
All-inclusive wedding marquees across London and the South East. One team, one vision, one unforgettable day.
Your wedding day deserves a venue as considered as everything else you’ve planned.
Ruby’s Marquees has been creating bespoke wedding marquees across London and the South East since 1988, designed entirely around your space, your guest count, and your vision.
We provide wedding marquee hire for traditional English weddings, large-scale South Asian weddings, and everything in between, all backed by a free site visit before we quote you anything.
“We’d never hired a marquee before and had no idea where to start.”
Ruby’s Marquees visited our garden, measured everything up, and the result on the day was absolutely stunning. Our guests couldn’t believe the transformation.

YOUR VENUE.
Your way.
A wedding marquee gives you something a fixed venue simply can’t.
Complete creative control. Your garden, transformed into exactly the setting you’ve pictured. Your guest list, accommodated without compromise.
Your vision, built from the ground up rather than squeezed into someone else’s space.
For couples who want their wedding to feel entirely their own, a bespoke marquee isn’t just an option, it’s the only way to get there properly.
What’s Included
Everything your wedding marquee needs, in one package.
Our wedding marquee packages are completely all-inclusive. One quotation, one team, one point of contact, from your first call to the final guest leaving.
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.
Celebrations
Fully weatherproofed and heated where needed, so your celebration runs exactly as planned whatever the British weather decides to do. Every structure is sealed, with guttering between linked bays so guests stay dry moving between spaces.
Indirect heating warms the space on cooler evenings, ducted quietly from outside with no visible units inside. For summer, roll-up sides let air move through and drop in minutes if the forecast turns.
Choosing the Right Marquee Hire
Every wedding marquee we build uses the same clearspan (frame) structure, giving you a fully open space with no poles to work around your top table, dance floor, or ceremony layout. 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 (seated) | Recommended size | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 48 | 4.5m x 12m | An intimate reception, close family and friends |
| Up to 100 | 6m x 18m | A classic mid-size wedding, room for speeches and a small dance area |
| Up to 150 | 9m x 18m | A larger reception with space for a dance floor and DJ |
| Up to 200 | 9m x 24m | A full wedding breakfast plus evening reception guests |
| Up to 300 | 12m x 27m | A large-scale wedding with band, bar, and dance floor |
These figures assume seated dining. If you’re combining your ceremony and reception in the same marquee, or want a dedicated dance floor, DJ booth, or bar area, we’d usually recommend sizing up, our team can confirm the right fit when you get in touch.
Wedding marquees for every celebration.
Traditional Weddings
Elegant, timeless marquees designed for classic English wedding celebrations, from intimate ceremonies to large, joyful receptions.
South Asian Weddings
Large-scale South Asian and Indian weddings need space, structure, and atmosphere that smaller venues simply can’t provide.
We design wedding marquees that comfortably accommodate hundreds of guests across multiple ceremonies, with the scale and grandeur these celebrations deserve.
We’ve spent decades delivering weddings across London’s South Asian community, so we understand exactly what’s required, from guest flow to staging to the level of detail that matters most.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations
Mehndi, sangeet, and other pre-wedding events, styled and structured to suit the occasion, often run alongside the main wedding marquee as part of a seamless multi-day celebration.
