Surprise party was a huge success!

I wanted to plan a surprise party at home for my partner's 30th birthday. After a quick Google search, I contacted RV Canvas Marquees after seeing their website and previous positive reviews.

The team were quick to respond and we arranged a visit to assess the space etc. at a super convenient time for myself (as I had to make sure my partner wasn't around).

Everything was explained clearly and the planning began. I was given lots of choices to tailor the service, including bars, tables, decorations and much more.

On the day of the build, I wasn't going to be around so the team asked me for a point of contact who could come and sign off the build, making sure everything was perfect. I was initially nervous but everything went as smoothly as I could've hoped. The party was a huge success and everybody loved it.

Then 2 days after the party, the team came and took the tipi down in just a few hours.

I would highly recommend RV Canvas Marquees and will definitely be considering them for any future events.

There was a minor hiccup where one of the decorations was damaged in transit, but the team made the call to replace it and have offered a refund for that section of the tipi. Super quick resolution and it couldn't have been handled any better. Really professional!

Save your time and stress, just book these guys!

Margaret and the team Ribby Valley Canvas Marquees are unrivalled. From the minute I enquired, I knew I didn't need to look elsewhere. Margaret took the time to understand what we wanted, offered her professional input (things I hadn't even though of that were really important) and put together a fantastic plan. They can offer most things you'll need for your event, but aren't pushy at all. I knew that I never had to worry about anything to do with the marquee after talking to Margaret. They are dillingent and came out for a site visit and advised us on how best to prepare the land. They just cover everything.

Libby then helped us finalise things closer to the day, before the fantastic build team came to get the marquee up. Every single person we dealt with was a pleasure and nothing was ever too much for them. Not only that, the marquees are stunning. So many of our guests said they'd never seen one like it. Guests are still raving about the whole experience days after.

If you want a guaranteed stress free experience and the most beautiful marquee you've ever seen, this team is who you need.

Wedding Aug 25 Tom & Katie

We decided to have our wedding celebration at home requiring a marquee to fit over 130 people. Right from the start, Margaret and her team have been so helpful, helping us pick an appropriate spot for the marquee, recommending other businesses and taking the stress out of worrying about a venue. They even came the day before the wedding to check everything was set up perfect after a breezy day. In our package we chose to include heating which was the right decision as the night went on. We would highly recommended them and use them again!

Lathom Farm Wedding

Thank you so much to the Ribble Valley Marquee team. They came down to the venue well in advance to advise on layout and sizing and were on hand right up to the wedding day to support us. The marquee was erected two days before and the team were friendly and professional. The marquee looked amazing on the day with the wooden patio area being a perfect area for guests to relax with pre-drinks and canapes. The long trestle table layout for the meal was a hit and there was ample room inside the marquee for everything we wanted, including tables, cake stand, dance floor, band, dj and bar area. Everyone had an amazing day and we thank the team at Ribble Valley for all their contributions.

Great marquees - Would definitely recommend!

We are so happy we went with Ribble Valley marquees! They were great from start to finish. The marquee was a beautiful petal pole marquee and we were so happy with the set up. The team were flexible and really helpful and responsive. They had a load of added extras that really added to the look and feel of the space! We loved the lit walkway and being able to open up all the sides given it was a hot day was amazing. The fire pit was also a great addition with some benches around, really added to the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend RV to anyone looking for a marquee in the area!

Paul and Laura’s festival themed wedding

We were so happy we chose Ribble Valley Marquees, the marquee provided was the smaller 21x9m version but this was plenty big enough for our 150 guests and perfect for our festival themed wedding. The whole process was very easy to manage from start to finish with planning advice and taking our ideas and suggestions on board, even the last minute details and changes to make our day even more special. The initial field visit prior to booking allowed us to fully prepare for the next steps. Would love to have the chance to experience the marquee again at another party and wouldn’t hesitate to book.

The Best Day of My Life

The team at ribble valley marques and tipis are amazing.
From start to finish they have been amazing, communication was second to none (which is hard to find in wedding suppliers) anything I needed they were there. No request was too big or small. When they say you can contact them any time of the day, you really can and they will answer no matter what. Even the lads who came to build the tipi were amazing, all had smiles son their faces and were happy and bubbly asking me questions about the wedding plans and what were doing and even after the same smiley service. If I had to book my wedding again 1000% I would be booking it with Ribble Valley tipis, thank you all you were amazing!!

Blown away!

Two words “blown away”. From day one, Margaret, Libby and the team did everything they could to make our day as special as possible. You can tell Margaret has a true passion for what she does and is a real expert - we felt completely comfortable placing our trust in her and taking on her suggestions for size and layout etc. We booked quite far in advance and as we approached the big day, our requirements kept changing and our guest list kept growing, but Libby and Margaret were both on hand to help us in increasing the size of the marquee and hiring any extra furniture we needed. During our site visit no question went unanswered and we were able to cover every detail. The set up went without a hitch and was incredibly stress free - I looked out my window one morning and there she was!

The marquee was absolutely perfect. The wooden flooring was gorgeous and it really levelled the whole marquee up. It also had the added bonus of being so much easier to walk on than matting (which was essential when the drinks started flowing!)

The catering tent was surprisingly large but blended in seamlessly.

Absolutely everything was handled for us. A marquee wedding can be a lot of work, but RV Canvas Marquees and DNK Events did everything in their power to make the process as simple as possible. They provided us with a list of recommended suppliers, so a lot of our suppliers (such as our florists, toilets and generators) were already experienced with the marquee which was a great help. Everything in the set up was coordinated so in the week leading up to the wedding there was very little needed from us, which was fab.

We are so glad that we went with RV Canvas Marquees. The marquee was truly special and to have our wedding somewhere so unique and personal to us meant the world.

Simply stunning!

Wow - where do we start!

Margaret and the team were absolutely spot on from start to finish, they made the whole process seamless and we are so pleased that we chose them for our wedding setup and experience.
The triple hat tipi looked absolutely stunning and was everything that we had hoped for and more. We went for the full package with a walkway with festoon lighting, a stage, a fully stocked and manned bar. We also asked Margaret to take care of the floral decor inside which really set it apart!

Nothing was too much trouble and they put us at ease with every conversation that we had!

I would highly recommend using Margaret and the team, we would do it all again tomorrow if we could. Everyone commented how amazing it was. So happy!

Thanks Margaret and your team - you’re
Incredible!

Beautiful!

Unbelievable marquee! We had a wedding in the garden and the marquee was beautiful. The service was brilliant for start to finish. Any questions were answered quickly. The lads setting up and taking down the marquee were so professional and worked so hard. They gave advice for what we could do with the sides and dance floor to make the most of the marquee and were careful to ensure our gates were closed to ensure the dogs were safe. The marquee was a focal point for our wedding and everyone commented on how beautiful it was.

Incredibly professional team

The team surveyed the site on two seperate occasions to ensure every detail was to be perfect for the wedding day. They provided helpful support regarding layout options. At set up and take down, the team were very professional, polite and very helpful. They ensured everything was safe and left the site tidy and safe for our livestock to return too. I highly recommend Margaret, James and the team.
