For marquee companies · Sussex & London
Everything with a plug on it, so you can say yes.
You supply the marquee. We supply the kit that goes in it: festoon and uplighting, dance-floor lighting, a PA and wireless microphones, and the power distribution to run it all, from our own warehouse with our own crew. We work for you, under your name, and on site we are your technical team.
We supply Lighting, Sound, LED walls, Power distribution, On-site techniciansStaging, marquees, décor and planning stay with you or your other suppliers. We do the tech.
What your clients ask
The questions you can now say yes to
Every enquiry comes with a technical question attached. These are the ones we hear most, and what happens when you pass them to us.
‘Can we have a live band?’
Yes. A PA with monitors, power at the stage and an engineer to mix them.
‘Can the lighting change for the evening?’
Yes. Battery uplighters at the poles, festoon along the ridge, and a dance-floor rig that comes alive when the music does.
‘There is no power at the bottom of the garden.’
Not a problem. You or your generator supplier provide the supply; we tell you the load, then run protected distribution and cover or fly the cables wherever guests walk.
‘Can you light the garden and the path to the loos?’
Yes. Festoon runs, path lighting, uplighters on trees and the house front, all tested after dark.
‘We want a DJ and speeches.’
Yes. Wireless microphones, a PA sized to the guest list, and playback that works with any DJ.
‘Can it be set up the day before?’
Where access allows, yes. We install once your marquee is up and collect the morning after.
‘Can we have a lit dance floor?’
Yes. Dance-floor lighting that comes alive when the music does. The floor itself usually comes with the marquee, and we light whatever you lay.
A partner, not a competitor
The kit that makes your marquee look its best
A marquee is judged on the night, when the lighting is on and the music is playing. We bring the lighting, the sound and the power distribution, all from our own warehouse, and keep the weight within what the frame can carry.
- Sound, lighting and technicians for your clients' weddings and parties
- We work for you, priced to you and quoted under your name
- Power distribution and cable runs for our equipment, sized to the load
- Crew who respect the frame, the lining and the lawn
- Installed around your build, collected around your de-rig
Two ways to work with us
How we work with you
Include us in your package
We price to you and you add it to your quote under your name. The client sees one supplier and one invoice, and on site we work as your technical team.
Work alongside your crew
We plan around your build and de-rig, and agree with you what the frame and the lining can carry.
What we need from you
Six things, and the quote is right first time
Send these with the enquiry and the site visit becomes a confirmation rather than a discovery.
- Marquee type and size: frame or pole, and the floor plan
- A site plan showing the house, the tent and where the power supply is
- Access: gates, the vehicle route, and where our van can unload
- Your build and de-rig times, so our install fits inside yours
- The client's plan for music: playlist, DJ or band, and the finish time
- Who is supplying the power, so we can tell them the load once

Questions we get asked
What marquee companies ask us
Do you supply marquees?
No. We work with marquee companies rather than compete with them. You supply the tent; we supply everything with a plug on it.
Can you work with pole tents as well as frame marquees?
Yes. A pole tent limits what can hang from the structure, so more of the lighting stands on the floor or fixes to the poles. We plan it with you.
Do you bring the generator?
No. We are the technical team, not a generator supplier. You or a generator hire firm provide the supply; we tell you the load, bring the distribution and cabling for our equipment, and protect the runs where guests walk.
Will you quote under our name?
Yes. We work for you: we price to you, you include us in your package, and the client sees one supplier and one invoice.
How quickly can you answer a client's question?
Ring us while the client is still on the line. Most questions can be answered straight away, and a written quote follows once we have the site plan.
Where do you cover?
London and the South East, from our bases in Sussex and London.
