Abacus Marquees were exceptional from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, and Donna came out for a site visit where she was incredibly thorough, making helpful adjustments to our order where needed and making the whole process feel really organised and easy. On the setup and takedown, Dean and his team were superb and worked extremely hard. Everything ran smoothly, and the marquee itself looked stunning on the day. It was exactly what we needed and meant we didn’t have to do much to make it look beautiful for our wedding.I can’t rate them highly enough. More...

Just wanted to share with you some pictures of our fabulous party in the garden .The marquee was put up 2 days before the party , it was decorated with beautiful fairy lights and then we finished off the decorations with some flowers . The staff were very polite and professional.The marquee itself was clean and warm. The furniture, tables and cloths were also to a very high standard.When we initially thought about a marquee for the garden we were unsure about the size we would need , however, we needn’t have worried as we were advised on size for space. The whole process of hiring this marquee has been made stress free and exciting . It truly was a memorable party. I would definitely recommend this company. More...

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Easy to book and arrange. Straightforward installation and take down.Having only a small cottage being able to add even a 4x4 meter marquee made a huge difference for our 18th & 21st Birthday celebrations.

Had the best party ever celebrating our daughter’s 18th Birthday at the weekend. Given her birthday is early January, the best option to provide more space to host, was to go for a marquee. It was the perfect solution and did not disappoint. It was plenty warm enough and the guys erecting and de-rigging the marquee couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly. It was slick process from start to finish. I am sure we will be doing a similar thing when our boys turn 18 in a year or two! Thanks to Adam, Ryan and Luke! More...

When planning our winter wonderland wedding from abroad, finding a reputable, reliable, and genuinely friendly supplier felt like a challenge — especially as I come from a construction background and have very high standards. Abacus Marquee and Event Hire exceeded every expectation. From the very first interaction, I was blown away by their responsiveness. Mark from Abacus contacted me within 24 hours of my initial enquiry, making him the fastest of the four marquee companies I reached out to. Not only was he quick to respond, but he also provided a clear, detailed, and well-considered quote from the outset. Throughout the entire planning and coordination process, Mark and his team were exceptional. They were proactive in providing information, visited the site to ensure there were no gaps, and worked seamlessly alongside our other suppliers. Their attention to detail, organisation, and willingness to support the wider planning process made everything feel easy and efficient. The setup itself was handled with absolute professionalism. A full team arrived three days prior to the wedding to ensure everything was installed and functioning perfectly ahead of time. Despite challenging weather conditions during setup, the Abacus team were immediately on hand to resolve issues — always responsive, never missing a call or message. On the wedding day, the marquee was simply stunning and played a huge role in creating the atmosphere we had envisioned. We truly had the best day, and the space looked gorgeous. Post-wedding, true to their word, the team de-rigged within two days, leaving the site in immaculate condition. I would highly recommend Abacus Marquee and Event Hire to anyone looking to create a truly one-of-a-kind event. One of the biggest advantages of working with Abacus is that they have all event components in-house, which makes the planning process far more streamlined. They also offer an excellent range of styles to suit different tastes. The quality they deliver is absolutely worth the cost. More...

I found Party in Your Garden online after contacting a few companies, as I was looking for a stress-free way to organise my son’s 18th birthday and have everything provided in one place. I can highly recommend this company. The team were extremely helpful throughout the quotation process, and the website was very easy to use. The setup team were fantastic, answering lots of questions and reassuring me. We hosted around 60 people for my son’s 18th birthday in December, and it was a huge success. The heating, lighting, and music kept everyone comfortable and enjoying themselves in the marquee all night. I would definitely recommend Party in Your Garden for any type of garden party — they made the whole process easy and completely took the stress out of organising the event. More...

We hired abacus marquee for our wedding in St Albans and they couldn’t have been better!! The whole process was so easy, they provided everything from furniture, to lighting, to dance floor, even the outdoor loos! The team set up the day before the wedding and that evening I asked if we could get any outdoor lighting, they sent someone round first thing on the wedding morning to put it up - we were totally impressed!

We had an amazing tri-zone marquee for our wedding in June. The central area looked amazing with a wooden round bar with a flower wreath above. Our chill out zone had a clear roof which looked so amazing in the evening and the black sparkle dance floor and starlight roof created the perfect atmosphere for the party. The three zones worked incredibly well. Mark and the team were great from the initial phone enquiry right through to the clear up the day after. We need another celebration, just so that we can use Abacus again! We’d definitely have the tri-zone marquee again. It was perfect. More...

Ordered a small marquee in January for my wife's 60th birthday this weekend. The guys at Party in your Garden have been great. The marquee is now up, but the thing I have liked the most is their attention to detail and the fact that they have kept in touch with me at all times. They pick the phone up (!), answer texts, create an online space for my quote, and are polite and courteous with it. This is rare I can assure you. There are few companies where I have had a faultless experience. This is one of them......I can count only 4 in my life. Highly recommended. More...

Hired a marquee from abacus, and was really impressed with the service we received, nothing was too much hassle, and they communicated very well with us throughout the different stages. Everyone at the party was soo impressed with the marquee and we had a night to remember on a cold, wet November night, tho you wouldn’t have known as the marquee was soo warm and dry. Would like to give a special mention to Izzy, as she was great and went the extra mile to guarantee a great marquee for my 40th birthday party. The price was very competitive with other hire companies, and the service was fantastic, she even came to my house the night before the party, after it had been set up to make sure I was happy and to drop me a birthday present which was a nice touch and that I’m very grateful for, would highly recommend abacus marquees to anyone looking for a marquee, and I will definitely be using them again for our next party. Special thanks to Josh and the guys who set up/took down the marquee, very polite and friendly, and went the extra mile to make sure it looked perfect for the party! Thanks guys! More...

My experience with Garden Marquee hire started off with moderate disappointment as I was in a hurry to book and given their advertising I had expected to be able to get a full quote immediately rather than half a day later. Thereafter though, the service was excellent, taking account of my needs carefully in booking the marquee, changing hours of delivery, erection and, (after my party), removal of the marquee to suit me, without any extra charge. The marquee itself was very nice and the heating, uplighting and most furnishings were good,. The tables were rather old and battered - needing table cloths to look elegant, but they did the job.. Also the delivery team were really easy to work with and around, and were very efficient. All in all I found this firm offered a good and friendly service. More...
