Reviews for Abacus Marquee & Event Hire Ltd
Great marquee company
There were however a couple of things we were a little disappointed with - we had been told the final bits of set up would be complete by the Wednesday, but this then got moved to 8am on the Friday with our wedding being on the Saturday. However, the guys didn’t turn up until 11, which held up our suppliers getting set up. I also tried to phone the team several times on the morning to see where they were, but no one answered or even let us know they would be late. Once final set up was complete, we had to clean the clear sides several times and the door to the catering tent as these turned up greasy and muddy, and we would have hoped these would have been cleaned before being provided to us.
On the whole I would definitely recommend these guys for wedding marquees, but just feel the above could have been sorted to make the service 5/5!
Fantastic Set-Up Team
Amazing and great marquee
