Wedding Marquee Hire in Derbyshire
Wedding Marquee Hire in Derbyshire
Derbyshire is one of the most popular counties for marquee weddings — and it’s easy to see why. With the rolling landscapes of the Peak District, historic country estates, and picturesque villages, it offers the perfect backdrop for relaxed, countryside celebrations.
We regularly provide wedding marquee hire across Derbyshire, working with couples who want the freedom to create something personal — whether that’s on private land, in a family garden, or within the grounds of a beautiful local venue. While our headquarters are based in Macclesfield, our close proximity means Derbyshire weddings are a core part of what we do.
The Wedding Marquee Hire Process
Our marquee hire process for Derbyshire weddings is designed to be straightforward:
Initial consultation – guest numbers, date, and venue/location
Site visit – we assess access, ground conditions, and layout
Design & planning – marquee size, layout, flooring, lighting, and extras
Installation – typically 2–3 days before your wedding
Removal – discreet and scheduled around your venue requirements
We regularly work with venues, private estates, and residential gardens in and around the peak district, so we’re used to coordinating with venue managers and local suppliers.

Much like our work in Cheshire, a large proportion of our Derbyshire weddings take place on private land. From garden weddings in villages such as Bakewell, Matlock, Ashbourne, and Buxton, to open fields and family farms, we’re experienced in transforming blank spaces into fully equipped wedding venues.
Derbyshire’s varied terrain — from limestone ground to sloping fields — requires careful planning. Our team assesses each site thoroughly to ensure your marquee is safe, level, and beautifully finished, whatever the location.
“Jay and his team did a fantastic job for our wedding reception. The structures were perfect for our requirements and they looked great. Everything went up on time and came back down on time. Couldn't have asked for more and couldn't recommend them highly enough!”
