Marquee Styles to Suit Every Occasion

We offer a range of marquee styles to suit any event, from timeless traditional designs to versatile clear-span frames and charming pagodas. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, our marquees provide the perfect combination of elegance, practicality, and customisable features to bring your vision to life.

Traditional Marquees

Traditional marquees are the timeless solution for outdoor events, offering elegance and durability that have stood the test of time. Used for hundreds of years, they remain as popular as ever for weddings, corporate events, festivals, and other outdoor occasions. Their rustic charm, with classic guy ropes and internal centre poles, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that many clients prefer.

Clear Span Frame Marquees

Aluminium frame marquees are the modern alternative to traditional pole peg marquees, offering a sleek, contemporary look with exceptional versatility. Unlike traditional marquees, frame marquees are clear-span, meaning they have no centre poles or obstructive guy ropes, providing an open and flexible internal space perfect for any event.

Pagoda Marquees

At James Fletcher Marquees, we understand that the entrance to your event is as important as the event itself. Our stunning Pagoda Marquees, also known as Chinese Hat Marquees, are the perfect way to create a striking focal point for your event, particularly as the entrance to your wedding frame marquee.

​These beautifully designed marquees are available in three sizes: 3m x 3m, 5m x 5m and 6m x 6m, making them a versatile option to suit various event needs. Their elegant, single-peak design adds a sense of grandeur and sophistication, instantly elevating the overall aesthetic of your venue.

Did you know we also provide high-quality event furniture? Through our sister company, Fletcher Event Furniture Hire, you can hire everything from elegant chairs and tables to stylish sofas, bars, outdoor furniture, and dance floors. Whether you're planning a wedding, birthday, or corporate event, we have everything you need to complement your marquee and create a seamless, beautifully designed space.
