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!

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.

Margaret & her superstars

The team at Ribble Valley marquees have been amazing from start to finish of our wedding planning process. Margaret and team not only came to survey the venue, they have consistently gone out of their way to help us plan our perfect day - making the wedding planning much easier than it otherwise would’ve been. Unfortunately we’ve had to cancel due to our original venues backing out but we sincerely want to thank everyone at Ribble Valley for everything they’ve helped us with and we will be recommending your services to everyone and anyone.

Effortless Wedding Venue

We needed a bespoke venue for our wedding after most fixed venues came back to us saying they could host our guest numbers, so we looked for a marquee.

After meeting Margaret and David at a wedding event in Kendal, the process of putting together a proposal which met our needs was effortless. Everything we asked for was catered for and more, and the list of optional extras really were optional, nothing was forced or sold to us, but each detail we did opt for made a huge difference to our day. We were kept in the loop at all times and had a site visit months ahead of the date to ensure that there were no surprises, everything would fit and logistically there were no blockers. The setup team were amazing and despite the weather conditions, the marquee was ready ahead of schedule for our internal decorating to take place. We also opted for the in-house bar, which was ran brilliantly with plenty of staff all night ensuring nobody went without their favourite drinks. The team also sorted out all of the licensing for drinks and music with the local council, another stress taken care of.

We opted for the largest marquee they had available at the time, and even with 215 guests, 230 including evening guests, there was more than enough room for everyone to be seated, enjoy their food, socialise with a drink or two and dance on the dance floor. When I say more than enough, I really mean it - the room felt huge.

All in all, we were very well looked after and one of the most stressful elements of organising the wedding (finding the venue) was taken care of with little to no stress.

Thank you Ribble Valley Canvas Marquees - would highly recommend 👍🏻

Tipi wedding

Thank you to RV Canvas for making our dream wedding become a reality and for all their hard work in the lead up to and after the big day. The tipi was spectacular and everything we ever hoped for and it was incredible to have it in a location that was so personal to us as a family.

David and the team made all of our wedding dreams come true.

We had an absolutely perfect wedding day. We used Ribble valley marquees brand new 5 pole marquee with the solid oak floor inside. This was put up by David and his team on the top of our farm. We couldn’t have asked for more David and Margeret went above and boutons to ensure that our day went by effortlessly. We would recommend Ribble valley marquees to ANYONE having any type of wedding/party, their professionalism and attention to detail was absolutely out of this world. Thankyou soo much again,
Mr & Mrs Lancashire
