The extras that surprise couples
Toilets, power and a generator add £800 to £2,500. If the field slopes, you may need flooring, and in the dales the ground is often uneven.
Catering needs a tent of its own or a kitchen trailer. Ask the marquee firm what is included.
Choosing the site
A family farm, a garden or a field in Nidderdale gives you a view that few venues can match. Check access for lorries on narrow lanes and ask the landowner for written permission.
Weather can change plans. Pick a tent with sides and heating for an autumn date.
Is it cheaper?
A marquee often costs more than a hall once everything is counted. It does give you freedom on timing, food and drink. Figures are a guide, so get quotes.
