We know some planners have turned down marquee weddings as they’ve been hesitant about what is actually involved. This is a terrible shame and a missed opportunity.

We therefore decided to host a Webinar dedicated to showing you how to run a marquee wedding. We hope this will give you the confidence to say yes next time. You can book your place here for 10:30 next Thursday 23rd February.
