Tips for Planning Your Tented Wedding
1. Book Early
These suppliers often get booked a year (or more!) in advance, especially for peak summer weekends. Once you’ve decided on a date, locking in your marquee or tent should be at the top of your to-do list.
2. Think Logistics
Outdoor weddings require a bit more behind-the-scenes planning. Think about access to electricity, catering setups, parking, toilets, and weather-proofing. A great tent supplier will walk you through it.
3. Get the Right Team On-Site
Even the most beautiful setting can fall flat without great service. That’s where we come in.
At Serve, we provide professional, friendly event staff who are trained, local, and ready to jump in wherever needed. Whether you need waiters, bar staff, or a full team to keep the day running smoothly, we’re here to help you create a seamless experience.
