Wedding Marquee Hire in Manchester
Wedding Marquee Hire in Manchester
Manchester offers a unique setting for marquee weddings — a city known for its character, creativity, and mix of historic buildings, green spaces, and private venues. From gardens on the edge of the city to industrial-style spaces and estates in Greater Manchester, it’s a location that allows couples to do things a little differently.
We provide wedding marquee hire across Manchester and Greater Manchester, supporting couples who want flexibility without sacrificing style. Whether your celebration takes place within the city or just beyond it, we bring the same careful planning and attention to detail to every setup.
The Wedding Marquee Hire Process
Our marquee hire process for Manchester 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 Manchester, so we’re used to coordinating with venue managers and local suppliers.
Marquee Weddings Across Manchester & Greater Manchester
Unlike rural locations, Manchester weddings often require a more considered approach — tighter access, mixed ground types, and creative layouts that make the most of available space.
We regularly install marquees:
In private gardens across South Manchester
On green spaces and estates on the city’s outskirts
Alongside existing venues looking to expand capacity
At non-traditional and blank-canvas locations
This variety means no two Manchester marquee weddings ever feel the same — and that’s exactly what many couples are looking for.
Private Land, Gardens & City-Edge Weddings
While Manchester is a major city, a large proportion of marquee weddings here still take place on private land and in residential gardens, particularly in areas just outside the centre. These settings allow couples to host a relaxed, personal celebration while remaining close to the city.
Our team assesses each site carefully, considering access, ground conditions, and surrounding space to ensure your marquee is practical, secure, and visually striking — even in more compact or unconventional locations.
“We are so glad we worked with Posh Frocks and Wellies. Steve was so helpful in answering all of our questions and making sure we got exactly what we wanted. There is such a large selection of decorations, furniture and other add-ons that we had no problem outfitting our entire marquee. We really relied on them to make our garden wedding perfect and they delivered! Our families are still gushing over how beautiful the marquee turned out!”
