Wedding Fairs

Wedding fairs have always been popular and as a marquee hire company you’re likely to be invited to exhibit often. The organisers will promise a large footfall and explain 101 reasons why you should pay them to have a stand there.

The costs are usually relatively cheap, indeed all you need is one booking from a fair to be economically viable. Unfortunately it seems the type of future bride & grooms who go to wedding fairs are not those looking to book a marquee, certainly in my experience.

We tried many different ways of displaying our marquees on one 6ft trestle table – I even made a scale model of a marquee complete with linings and working chandeliers. All of this didn’t work, at best we covered our costs but after 18 months we called it a day.

Obviously it’s up to you if you want to go along to local wedding fairs but in my experience it’s simply not worth your time. Especially as it’s usually held on a valuable marquee day-off Sunday.
