“We can’t thank you enough for all your help and advice in planning our 25th wedding anniversary party at Osborne last Saturday. Our guests were so surprised and overwhelmed by what we had achieved on the beach with your lovely marquees. The two marquees, joined by the covered walkway, were absolutely perfect. All but four of our guests had travelled from the mainland for the whole weekend, or longer, and we were really pleased to be able to give them a party to remember!”

David & Gay Edwards,


“Thank you  to you and your most professional, friendly team of marquee putter-uppers. It was a magnificent marquee which I was worried was going to be too small when pegged out, then too large when erected, then just perfect when full of people! Thank you so much for making the whole thing so easy, we really do appreciate your huge input towards the day”.


Alice Summerhayes,


“Thank you very much for all the hard work that you put into making our wedding day one to remember. The marquee looked amazing and the stage for the Indian wedding ceremony was perfect. We got the wedding that we always wanted so thank you.”


Dave and Puneet Lipscomb,


“Jeremy, Willie and all the staff at Transworld Yachts would like to thank you for all your assistance in supplying the marquee and contents to make their annual regatta a great success. All your hard work was appreciated, please pass on our thanks to those concerned”


Pauline Holmes, Transworld Yachts Ltd


“The marquee at the Priory was a huge success and the lighting was superb. Thank you so much for getting that so right! Thank you so much for the care and concern you put in to make sure it was all standing and working! I am so thankful I ordered the canopy and lighting for the church - it looked very smart and was a Godsend! Thank you again for helping so much to make the wedding such a brilliant success and happy occasion”

Mrs Rob Hobart,


“Despite all the confusion and last minute changes to the erect dates you still managed to pull it out of the hat, and your team on the ground made this and the dismantle look so easy. I must also make comment on the portaloos, they were exactly what they said they were – Fabiloos. Neither I, nor many of my colleagues here at SP have been in any quite like them. Please pass on my thanks to all staff that were involved”

Tony Green, SP Systems


“Firstly just wanted to say a big thank you for making the marquee look fantastic on our wedding day. It really created a stir and everyone was very complimentary so wanted to let you know. If anyone asks for recommendations for marquee hire on the island then I will definitely point them in your direction as the venue really made the day.”

Cath Pearn,


"I would like to thank you once again for your help in making our day so successful.  The marquee looked superb, with the sides open to the lovely weather we had Saturday, the music sounding over the grounds and Pimms being served the whole scene sold the afternoon.  It's a shame we do not have another daughter to do it all over again!"


Gloria Holt,


“Thanks ever so much for a fantastic marquee. Everyone had the most amazing time and Heidi and I were thrilled with how the marquee looked once it was decorated and night fell. It was perfect, just how we imagined it.”


Gary Fenton,


“Thanks so much for all your efforts and help with our wedding. We had such a fabulous time and from start to finish everything was handled by yourselves with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Given you had to put up the Marquee during a 'tropical storm' it went very well indeed. I cannot recommend yourselves any higher to any who may wish to use you in the future, good luck even though I am sure you will not need any unless you encounter any more tropical storms!”


Dave and Romilly Chumbley,


" many thanks Nick to you and your team for all your hard work.  They all turned up as planned and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, it was a wonderful day. "
