It's the small details that make a Wills such a timeless beauty. We love using traditional oak sliders with guy ropes spliced by hand, by us to secure our marquees. We think that this is the perfect combo of form and function 👌

Robbie & Lizzie's guests really brought their A-game to their wedding celebrations, putting in MAXIMUM effort 💯

The secret singers got the party started during the wedding breakfast dressed as the brilliant Nomad Catering by James Brown waiters and the fun continued into the wee hours for all the guests who'd travelled far and wide to celebrate and make new memories with R & L 🤍

Welcome to Paul & Ola's wonderful wedding 🌸

This year has seen one of our biggest wedding receptions to date, but also some beautiful, intimate celebrations of love. Paul & Ola's wedding was held at home with their nearest and dearest, blessed with glorious weather and the most outstanding North Yorkshire views.

Relaxed vibes were the order of the day with an outdoor ceremony, live music, delicious food followed by ice cream, s'mores around the firepit and fireworks to finish off a wonderful day.

The day was captured by the talented M and G Wedding Photography and brought to life by this wonderful crew 👇

Pure joy! That just married feeling for Paulina & Santiago earlier this year in La Paz, Bolivia.

Their wedding reception was held at the grooms family home where we had the pleasure of visiting in 2022 for another family wedding in a Wills. What a wonderful experience that was! This is the third family wedding in a Wills and we love that connection 🤍

Congratulations P & S 🥂

Front ... side ... end ... overhead? Which is our best side?🪞

How you would like your guests to first see and approach the marquee is often dictated by the site, but when the decision is entirely up to you, which would you choose?

The impact of seeing the front of the marquee in it's entirety is always a fantastic option, a real wow factor, but we do also like the aesthetic of a oblique angle too (45° is ideal). This often the best positioning of the marquee to give you a south, south westerly aspect (giving you the sun at the front), present a view from the marquee out and to hide the facilities at the rear 😎

Let us know which you prefer below 👇 we'd love to know!

There's nothing more magical than the power of lighting to transform a space ✨

Creating a warm glow from fairy lights, festoon bulbs or even projected patterns makes for the ultimate chilled out nighttime haven ... or party space, depending on the vibe!

Here's a couple of gorgeous images from N & I's wedding showing a festoon walkway zig zagged from the house into the adjoining paddock with our flying lights following the swoop of the canopy of the marquee taken by Sara Lincoln Photography

We just love watching the sun set and the lights taking centre stage for the evening ahead

For maximum impact for your grand entrance we love the addition of a portico. Ours are modular so you can have a single portico just like pictured here or multiple, to create a longer covered entranceway.

Wherever and however many you choose for your marquee, they look fabulous decorated with flowers (for the daytime) and lights (for the evening).

Their design means they can also be used as a free standing canopy ideal as a chuppah or mandap or an outdoor ceremony canopy.

We find this so relaxing to look at … hope you do too?

Is it the soft peachy colours, the light or the perfect tree shadows that makes it so easy on the eye?

The guests had fun snaking through the marque and outside spill out area, in an epic conga line at Will & Aime's wedding last summer. Great way to get all your guests moving ... doo, doo, doo

Blue skies smiling at me, nothing but blue skies do I see - sang Ella Fitzgerald and boy are we ready for some blue skies! Warmer days and beautiful light are heading our way ☀️🙏

Isn't it just the best back drop for a nature inspired outdoor wedding? We love the contrast of colour against the canvas of the marquee, it really makes every colour pop 💥

Come on in ...

Welcome your guests with a Portico ✨

A canvas and pole portico can make a defined central entranceway for your guests or for bigger parties, 2 spaced equally apart also look super smart.

Decorated by flowers during the day and lit up at night, fabulous!

These beauties can be fully enclosed with walls if necessary and also make superb stand alone coverings for bars, catering or ceremonies.

Our Story

The first Wills Marquee was bought for founders, Chris & Lynsey’s own wedding and we’ve been hiring out tents for weddings and parties ever since.

In 2015 we began to make marquees for ourselves using techniques passed down to us by boat builders, seamstresses, carpenters and engineers. Although we are constantly developing techniques and making product improvements, essentially every tent has a timeless quality that comes from a long heritage of bespoke tent making by hand.

All Wills Marquees share the same design principles and palette of materials. Cotton canvas, the original sailcloth, is the perfect material for light, airy interiors whilst swooping roof lines create beautifully elegant silhouettes and wooden detailing throughout helps to convey a sense of timeless luxury. Every marquee features clear walls which, on hot days can be rolled up or folded back to let in even more of the outside.

A Wills Marquee is the ultimate outdoor party space in which to celebrate life’s milestones.
