When you choose a luxury marquee hire for your wedding, party, or corporate event, you’re investing in more than a venue - you’re creating a flexible, beautiful space that can evolve as your celebration unfolds. A marquee is the ultimate blank canvas, ready to transform seamlessly from a sunny morning gathering into a glamorous evening gala and a lively late-night party.

Here’s how to plan your day-to-night marquee transformation so every moment feels fresh, memorable, and photo-perfect.

As weddings continue to evolve, 2025 is shaping up to be a year of bold statements, immersive experiences, and sustainable luxury.

Marquee weddings - known for their flexibility, grandeur, and ability to bring the outdoors in - are taking centre stage with innovative trends that redefine the wedding experience. Whether you’re planning your big day or just love keeping up with wedding trends, here’s what’s set to make waves in 2025.

At The Canvas Tent Co. we understand that when you book a marquee for your wedding, you’re not just booking a temporary venue – you’re creating a beautiful, memorable setting for one of the most important days of your life. That’s why we take pride in maintaining our marquees, canvas materials and equipment to the highest standards, ensuring they look as stunning and fresh as the day they were made.

Nestled deep within the Peak District, Alex & Darren celebrated in style with a marquee wedding in the charming grounds of Heathy Lea on the Chatsworth Estate in Derbyshire. Featuring a picture-perfect outdoor ceremony in the most romantic of settings, photographer Freya Raby captured the essence of the day beautifully in both a digital and film format.

For the soon-to-be-wed on their outdoor wedding journey, styling a marquee is usually the most enjoyable part of the wedding planning stages!

There are many reasons why we love what we do; from meeting new couples and being involved during those early days of wedding planning to seeing the celebrations come together after months (sometimes even years) of planning. Then of course, we love nothing more than to spend warm summer days in open fields or beautiful gardens, building our canvas structures with meticulous care using the skills and techniques we have learnt and developed as marquee specialists over the years. The role takes us to the most incredible locations across the country and the team are in agreement that this is the main draw to the job. Servicing weddings mostly across the North West - we travel to some spectacular places throughout Cheshire, Lancashire, Shropshire, the Wirral and of course Wales.

With the wedding season now at an end, it’s time for us to look to the next year and start preparations for our 2023 weddings.

Last Thursday, we took a trip from our HQ in Cheshire down to Oxfordshire to spend the day at The Showman’s Show - the UK's leading exhibition of products, services and entertainment for the festival, outdoor and special event industry. It’s an event that we aim to attend each year to keep us up to date with the latest industry technologies and innovations out on the market.

As the end of a truly incredible 2022 wedding season is now sadly coming to an end, we’re very much looking ahead to all the exciting things to come for 2023!

I think we speak for every supplier in the industry when we say that the 2022 wedding season has been mammoth! We are now over half-way through -not that we’re counting - with just 2 months to go until we settle down for the winter.

With a heap of 2020 wedding postponements taking place, alongside regular bookings and those cheeky last minute ones too - we have serviced double the amount of weddings and events than we have done before. We aren’t complaining though, we absolutely love what we do and the ‘buzz’ of 2022 has motivated us to expand our team and tent stock and secure another beautiful 12m span Wills Marquees canvas and timber pole tent for the 2023 wedding season… how very exciting!

We’re now in the thick of our wedding season and if you follow us on social media you’ll have seen how incredibly busy we are!
