We might be a little late at this introduction but, better late than never. Last year we added The Duchess to our fleet of Pole Marquees, a fantastic four pole structure.
When it comes to creating the perfect outdoor wedding, nothing sets the scene quite like a traditional pole marquee. Evoking memories of long summer days, elegant garden parties, and the romance of the countryside, pole marquees offer a timeless and stylish alternative to modern frame tents.
These beautiful photographs we recently received from our couple, taken by the very talented Joshua Tucker Photography display her in all her glory.

Why Choose The Duchess.
Designed for couples who want to break away from convention and embrace the beauty of outdoor celebrations, The Duchess Pole Marquee is a stunning, spacious, and sophisticated marquee that blends rustic charm with elegant grandeur. Whether you're hosting a festival-style wedding, a boho-chic reception, or a countryside celebration, The Duchess Pole Marquee provides the perfect setting for your big day.
Unlike standard event tents, The Duchess brings a classic yet distinctive touch to your wedding. With its high peaks, elegant draping, and warm, breathable canvas, it provides a naturally beautiful space that enhances the outdoor ambiance rather than competing with it.

Made from high-quality canvas and supported by traditional wooden poles, The Duchess Pole Marquee combines rustic authenticity with refined style. The exposed wooden structure and soft, natural fabric create an effortlessly chic aesthetic - perfect for couples looking for a relaxed yet elegant vibe.
The Duchess provides a whopping 330sqm which accommodates most guest list comfortably. The open plan layout allows for flexible seating arrangements, dance floors, and dining spaces, making it easy to design a marquee layout that suits your vision.
Traditional pole marquees are perfectly suited for the warmer months, offering excellent ventilation for those balmy summer evenings. The breathable canvas ensures that your guests remain cool while the high ceilings create an airy, open feel that enhances the celebration.

Top Tips.
To make the most of your Duchess Pole Marquee wedding, here are some top tips:
Opt for Statement Seating Plans: Use long banquet table set ups for a fun, communal and inviting dining experience.
Create Distinct Zones: Divide the marquee into sections, such as a lounge area with comfortable seating, a dance floor, and a dedicated bar space, to enhance guest flow.
Incorporate Hanging Installations: Use floral chandeliers, hanging lanterns, or suspended greenery to add visual interest and depth.
Enhance the Entrance: Frame the marquee entrance with floral arches, potted trees, or draped fabrics to create a grand first impression.
Prepare for Weather Variations: Have stylish outdoor heaters or woven blankets on hand for cooler evenings, and consider a shade area for particularly sunny days.
