Wild flowers featured in this country wedding.

A meadow was sown along the site's edge to complement the pastel duck egg, pale yellow and white Chinese lanterns, sunshine coloured napkins and floral decorations within the marquee.

The bridal party enjoyed a glorious day followed by entertainment in the professionally lit traditional pole tent.

We had the pleasure to work in the next village to our base in Dewlish, Dorchester with a wonderful family. The wedding marquee was sited on the sports field and enjoyed endless views across the Dorset Countryside.
The attention to detail was extraordinary. The theme was soft peach and terracotta. Linen napkins set off the place settings on rustic trestle tables seating 4 along their length and butted to create three rows. Limewash chiavari chairs with ivory pads offered comfort and style.
Our rustic wooden ladder gave the florist, Julie - the opportunity to dress as a suspended feature in the roof space along with fresh garlands.
And all captured beautifully by Libra Photographic

We believe we offer a unique level of service and this starts from the first telephone conversation. We don't necessarily always get to work with the enquirer, as in this case, but a reaction like this acknowledges our professionalism and passion ...........................

Thank you for your call recently about my enquiry for a marquee at Minterne House Weddings for next year.

We have just decided to opt for another venue so will not be needing your services.

I would like to say that of all the marquee companies I contacted whilst researching for a Minterne wedding you offered the friendliest and best service by far. I passed this information onto Sarah at Minterne who had recommended you and said that had the wedding proceeded at Minterne I would have used you. You had the time to chat and offered lots of useful advice.

Many thanks again. We do have another daughter so I will remember your company should we ever need a marquee again !
