“We got married earlier this year and I cannot recommend Sherwood Marquees enough. Both my husband and I (plus my parents who hosted the wedding) were in awe of the diligence, hard work and quality of service provided. From the very beginning Dan was very accommodating, making excellent suggestions of how to make best use of the space with a real ‘can-do’ attitude. In addition his team were efficient and supportive in the months running up to the wedding so we knew we weren’t forgotten. In the weeks/days running up to the wedding the service provided by Dan and his team was impeccable and he dealt with our last minute requests (including the morning of the wedding) swiftly to ensure panic did not arise. The quality and cleanliness of the marquee, toilets and furniture was superb - I was very proud of the ‘marquee venue’ which my guests experienced. I had heard great things about Sherwood Marquees prior to booking them so they had big expectations to fill, in fact they were very much surpassed. A big thank you to Dan and his team at Sherwood Marquees.”

“Could I just express my sincere thanks for the Marquee and equipment provided for my daughter’s wedding reception. The marquee was fantastic everyone remarked how fabulous it looked, we felt a little sad when it was taken down. From the exterior to the interior we really couldn’t fault anything. Your staff were great and attention to detail was second to none.”

“Many thanks for your help this weekend for our daughter’s wedding. Your staff worked really hard and set up a fantastic marquee for us to enjoy. They all worked well together both in setting up and taking down all the equipment. Thanks also to Marie in the office for all her help too. We would not hesitate to recommend Sherwood Marquees to anyone.”

“Myself and James would like to send the biggest thank you to all of you for the fantastic marquee you built for us. I am afraid I went back and forth about the size but it was perfect! Everyone commented on the layout and the overall look of the marquee it looked so wonderful. You have all been so helpful and I can’t believe how quick the marquee went up on the day. By the way a special thanks to Ben who was installing as he was great! The day went really well with loads of people saying it was the best wedding they had been to and we would really like to thank you for making it so special. I will be recommending you to anyone who needs a marquee.”

“Dear Dan, what can I say that our guests haven’t already said? It was quoted as the best wedding ever. I think this was mainly down to your wonderful marquee and equipment which made our daughters ‘home’ wedding seem so professional. We could not fault anything. Your men were professional, polite and a pleasure to have in our home. It could not have been better. Once again a huge thank-you to your team for the perfect day.”

“Just to say many thanks for providing such a fabulous marquee - perfect size & design. Also your staff worked really hard & were very tidy & efficient.”

Sue Wright

“Just to say thanks for the service you provided. Very impressed with you and your team. All clearly work hard and take pride in what they do. Makes a change these days. Thank you and well done.”

Paul Gethings

“Marquee!!...The guys were excellent. They have looked after us famously and the marquee was spot on.”

Russell Payne

“Some feedback following our recent event - overall excellent in all respects. Particularly good things include:

• The marquee design - it felt light and airy and is far more interesting than the traditional shape
• Flexibility to keep it for an extra day
• Trouble installation and dismantling from our point of view - Only thing I would say here is that it would have been useful to know roughly what time you were going arrive to set up - i.e. morning or afternoon
• Clear contract terms
• Initial site visit helpful and I like the fact you didn’t try and sell us things we didn’t need such as tables and chairs.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone.”

Jo Makin

“On behalf of Egmanton Village Hall Management Committee please accept my thanks for your help on Sunday. The use of the marquee was invaluable - thanks to the weather we would have been in real trouble without it. The event went well although it would have been nice to see a few more villagers there.”

Peter Stead

“I have been impressed with your efficiency all along. From the moment Dan first appeared to give a quote to a follow up letter with feedback. We loved the shape of our square tent. Dan was especially a man to remark on. He was organised, informative and immediately understood what we needed for our event. Quick, but thorough, on top of the job both physically and mentally.”
