We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new addition to our range of marquees – the breathtaking Sailcloth Marquee! If you’re planning a wedding, party, or corporate event and want something truly special, our sailcloth marquees offer an elegant, stylish, and versatile solution.
Why Choose a Sailcloth Marquee?
Sailcloth marquees are known for their stunning translucent fabric, which allows natural light to flood in during the day and creates a magical glow when illuminated in the evening. Their sweeping, sculptural lines and wooden support poles give them a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic, perfect for outdoor celebrations.
Ideal for Any Occasion
Our sailcloth marquees are ideal for weddings, parties, and corporate events, accommodating anywhere from 50 to 250 guests. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, they provide a spacious yet intimate setting, blending seamlessly with natural surroundings.
The Perfect Pairing with Rustic Furniture
To complement the effortless elegance of our sailcloth marquees, we offer a full range of event furniture, including our ever-popular rustic tables, 6ft x 3ft trestles, and 5ft round rustic banqueting tables. These pieces add warmth and character, creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the beauty of the marquee.
Luxe Suffolk Tipi Weddings and once
in a lifetime events.
Suffolk Marquees are pleased to be launching our new range of stunning British Made Tipi’s for 2019.
Our marquee
business, celebrating it’s 10th year has a fantastic reputation
locally for providing beautiful structures for wedding and once in a lifetime
events. As a small family business, Michelle & Ian along with their
experienced team take great pride in ensuring every detail is perfect for your
event. The business has grown by providing excellent personal service with
beautiful structures whilst still offering competitive pricing.
With every
large marquee and tipi installation overseen by the business owner, nothing is
left to chance.
Each of the
giant tipi’s can comfortably accommodate up to 70 seated guests. They are ideal
for an informal birthday party for 50 in a single tipi or a luxe tipi wedding
for 150+ with all the trimmings in 3 tipis linked together. Any structure can
be supplied with or without furniture, décor and lighting to suit your vision.
Whether it’s
a formal wedding breakfast with a 4-course meal that you have in mind, we can
supply a suitable glamorous vintage look to create the perfect atmosphere.
Wooden, carpeted floors in colour of your choice, round tables and chivari
chairs. Perhaps, it’s a more informal chic-casual festival feel you are looking
for in which case our new rustic trestle tables and benches would suit for that
classic feast style dining experience.
The look and
feel of a natural wooden tipi frame along with the traditional canvas style
canopy offer a beautiful alternative to our frame marquees and with ease you
can personalise your tipi with our bespoke lighting and décor options.
Lit lighting planks & ladders with pendants and exposed bulbs or illuminated lanterns offer stunning lighting options – all are fully dimmable to create the perfect dreamy ambiance.
Use LED
fairy lights as a canopy or wrapped around the wooden tipi frame along with
coloured uplighters will ensure the informal lighting becomes simply magical
after dark. Lighting does not have to be confined to the inside of the tipi,
festoon lighting around the tipi or as well as our fabulous festoon walkways
using our shepherds’ crooks to guide your guests are a dreamy addition to the
tipi.
Our tipis
offer all year-round wedding or event space.
In Summer
with the sides open are light and airy but in Winter with panoramic windows are
delightfully cosy. Our tipis use thermostatically controlled heating, venting
in warm clean, odourless air for those chilly autumn evenings keeping your
guests toasty warm without a smoky smell.
Michelle is available at our central Ipswich showroom to discuss your requirements at a time to suit you. Alternatively, book an appointment to see out tipis at one of the upcoming wedding shows in 2019. We are proud to sponsor of

Our Stretch tent is always an ideal solution for additional space whether its for an informal event or party or as in this example at the beautiful Butley Priory which is set in the Suffolk countryside for a formal wedding breakfast.
We were very pleased to be asked along to the open day at this stunning historic Suffolk wedding venue to show how the beautiful, tranquil garden space con be used whilst maintain the unspoiled view of the property.
Over the last few weeks we have exhibited at a number of wedding show and venue open days. We had a good weekend with our stretch tent and furniture at Chelmsford race course wedding show where we had our stretch tent set up next to the marquee in front of the venue.
Stretch tent at Chelmsford city race course.
The 10.5 x 15m stretch tent was configured at Chelmsford with all the sides up. This is an ideal solution for outside wedding ceremonies or summer parties were you need a lot of cover as a contingency against sun or rain.
With all the sides up the canopy is floating at 3m (10 feet) high at the lowest point around the edges. When standing under the stretch tent with only the sleek aluminium poles and rigging at low level there is an uninterrupted view of the surroundings. An ideal solution when your wedding or event is surrounded by country views.
The stretch tent is also deceptively large. In this example it only has 80 guest chairs set out in a classic wishbone ceremony style. As you can see there is ample room and this can easily be extended to 120 seated with plenty of room for the ceremony table.
We are happy to supply our stretch tents throughout Essex offering an incredible cost effective solution for weddings.
In the images above from Chelmsford wedding show we used our most popular lime wash chiavari chairs on one half of the stretch tent. On the other side as a contrast we used some of our brand new mahogany chavari chairs. They are proving very popular with couples adopting the current trend for a more contemporary look often using blush tomes and metallic, brass and copper for example.
We are able to offer so much more than just marquees including a full range of contemporary furniture as well as everything you need for you wedding or once in a lifetime event. We have a been the first to offer many new styles and trends to the local events market over the years and one of our most popular new item over the last 12 months has been our handing lanterns with a twist.
