Capitall Marquees Ltd

We have used Capital Marquees a few times now for both my gender reveal and our little one’s 1st birthday. On both occasions, the team created the perfect look to an amazing standard. They were all incredibly professional throughout. Ian was especially helpful and knowledgeable, knowing exactly what I needed to bring my vision to life. I would highly recommend Capital Marquees to anyone looking for a marquee for any future events. More...

Wow what can I say about Capital Marquees. I hired a marquee from them for my daughter's special birthday and from start to finish they were so professional right from Ian the boss coming out to measure up to make sure everything would fit, to the guys who erected it and made it look amazing for her. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again. Thank you Capital Marquees for giving her the perfect birthday. More...

Very professional service from Ian and the team. Even when they come round to quote for the job was very honest and didn’t add on anything that they thought was unnecessary. Was very quick to assemble the marquee and we were very pleased with the result. I would definitely recommend this company as everyone said it looked amazing and we received lots of compliments from our guests. Ben and Jo. 18th birthday party. More...

Capitall Marquees done a great job for our party, the staff where polite, on time, and all very helpful, it was a tricky area to erect the Marquee over a swimming pool, but everything was done with no fuss. The Marquee looked fantastic and everyone was amazed at how it looked, with the black walls and starlights, added with the clear cable end it looked awesome, i would recommend this company and will be using them again More...

I needed a Marquee for an 18th birthday party, after getting a few different quotes, I went with Capital Marquees, I spoke with Kay who was so friendly & accommodating from start to finish. They are local company & also they couldn’t be beaten on price! On the day of the build Rick & his team, worked tirelessly for 7 hours in the heat, building the marquee . They suggested ideas from positioning of the dance floor , & where best for the openings .(I wanted 2 openings) In order to give me the best use of the space, that would suit my garden layout. It looked absolutely fantastic & flowed perfectly., Thank you, Rick & the boys for doing a great job, you made my 18 year old very happy & her birthday party such a success!!! Highly recommend Capital Marquees! More...

Rick and his team were brilliant at both assembling and dismantling. They worked SO hard and had to carry everything ( most of which looked very heavy) through the garage and kitchen and a very long way down the garden. They were polite, professional, good humoured and nothing was too much trouble. The company was easy to deal with and Kay in the office and Ian were most helpful. On reflection I think the marquee would have been better used for serving drinks and milling about rather than seating guests to eat (tables and chairs too close together in one of the smaller marquees) but it was a good, attractive structure and easy to use. I would definitely recommend the company and use them again. Many thanks. More...

My name is Jill Toocaram from Castle Hedingham and last weekend we had a small marquee from Capital Marquees. It was an excellent service from start to finish. The site manager Rick Sharp was very efficient and professional and was very cheerful and made helpful suggestions as to positioning and showed me how to open the sides up if we wished. It was delivered very promptly on Thursday morning for Sunday use and taken down promptly on the following Tuesday leaving my garden clean and tidy once again . Thank you very much. I can highly recommend and will be using again . Jill More...

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with the marquee. Eventhough there was storm with very fast winds, the marquee stood strong and we could barely even tell how windy it was outside. They also provided a heater which kept us all really warm. The marquee itself was amazingly put and it was very elegant on the inside and especially very well lit. The staff who put up the marquee was extremely helpful and polite and would recommend their service to everyone looking for a marquee. More...

Marquee prices are the cheapest you’ll find and the actual marquee was setup very nicely. However when it comes to communication you’re in for a shock, and I feel like we were taken advantage of last minute, and thus had to pay more. Will avoid working with unless you have budget constraints. More...

Overall the actual quality of the marquee was good, however the service was appalling! Our garden is on a slope so we were prepared for the floor to be a little uneven, Ian surveyed the site and promised they would do their best to make it level, however the guys that fitted the marquee made no attempt to level the floor and ran it to the garden, saying they don’t offer anything else, the lighting was also a problem as all the lights were on one switch so either stark lighting or darkness despite dimmer lighting advertised and paid for. A polite call was made to Ian and he said he would call in the following day, he didn’t show up! We then called and texted several times to amend the lighting at least but were ignored. Very disappointing as before we secured the booking we were being called daily by Kay to secure a deal. We will not use again and will not recommend. A little advice to you Ian, common decency and communication are key, we were nothing but patient and polite and didn’t deserve to be ignored! Not the way to treat customers. More...

I have used capitall marquees twice now in the last 6 months. Both times the service was amazing. The marquees looked amazing both times and the put up and take down was so efficient. The boys were so polite and helpful I would 100% use capitall marquees again and have already reccomended them to friends and family. Love all the optional extras I could get - they even had Elsa blue chair ribbons! More...

I hired a 12x3 marqee from Capital Marqees for my daughter’s engagement party on the 17th December 2023. I was worried about my guests feeling cold. Ian suggested I use the diesel space heater which I did, and my event went seamlessly. The set up and dismantle was done promptly, the guys arrived before 9am and wasted no time. The quality of the marqee was brilliant, my garden floor was a bit uneven so I had wooden floors and carpet. This is one of the reasons I went with capital Marqees due to the weather and having a safe hard flooring. I would definitely use capital Marqees again, the team were professional and friendly and answered all my questions and gave suggestions to make my event successful. The fairy lights were brilliant!!

A typical response from someone attempting to cover up a complete lack of decency and respect. Via a review, not phone - nice. You were greeted at reception. The CCTV shows that you carried out your site visit as per instructions from Canterbury marquees. So much so you then contacted Canterbury Marquees that afternoon to instruct them of your findings. Herewith the email received from Canterbury Marquees that afternoon. ____ "Hi Richard Following the site visit this morning, Ian Lumbard has advised an alternative configuration of marquee for your event, which sits better on the site (and will mean less strain on your budget). He has measured and allowed for 1 x 12m x 24m main marquee, with adequate space for 200 chairs, 20 tables, the stage and dance floor - with the catering tent sitting alongside. A wheelchair ramp will be provided. Ian will be billing you directly for the set up costs, please await his email which will arrive from Capitall Marquees (and will include the layout plan). As discussed, he will be on site Thursday for the set up. ____ Copies of all emails can be supplied to whoever wishes to read them. Fact remains, you didn't have the common decency to call, answer the phone, or respond to any communications from Wednesday through Saturday. Original review. One star is one too many. As I write this review (8th July), I have 200 guests due to arrive for our annual Summer Ball tomorrow, but I have no marquee or flooring! Why? Despite a successful site visit Tuesday 5th July, Ian and his 'team' said loosely, failed to turn up to site Thursday 7th. Despite numerous phone calls, voicemails and texts throughout the day - these were blatantly ignored. Ian even had the audacity to read WhatsApp messages and not reply. Wait. There was a twist! At 8pm last night a message was received... "I will call you at 8am", holding out no hope of this, and a sleepless night and 46 marquee companies later, we still had no marquee. Thankfully one company responded at 6:30am, I Do Marquees (Premier Marquees) - they met our requirements, gathered a team and arrived onsite at 1pm today (8th July). As I look out my Office window, the camaraderie and team work of all involved is a site to be hold and a credit to this outfit. Something that cannot be said for the cowboy outfit that is Capital Marquees. DO NOT USE! The stress and anxiety that this experience has caused is not worth anyone's time or energy. Not a single apology or explanation has been received at the time of writing. More...

A very delayed review - we booked Capitall Marquees for our wedding in August 2020. From the very beginning, Ian was professional, reliable and punctual with very fair costs compared to other marquee companies. The circumstances significantly changed due to the pandemic and Ian was so reassuring and adaptable which reduced what was a very stressful situation at the time. Upon assembling the marquee, we realised last minute that our Hindu wedding alter may be too tall for one of the marquees, and despite it being a very last minute issue, Ian was able to reassemble the structure, fuss free which we were hugely appreciative of! We do look forward to working with Ian and his team in the near future for any further upcoming events!! More...

Cancelled my marquee request with 9 months notice. Refused to give refund. This was £800 also so not even a little amount of money to lose. ** **Update. Hi Ian thanks for your reply. I understand your ts&cs but still want to make people aware your large deposits are non-refundable. I run my own wedding event hire company, and can't believe you won't be able to re-sell a rather popular date within 10 months I'll be very surprised if you don't.

Very poor standards, structures were not securely setup and when I called Ian he accepted his error said he would return to sort it out but nobody turned up. Called him many times after all calls and messages were ignored. Very poor lighting was provided and not what was agreed and charged for. The marquee was supposed to be bolted down but this wasnt done despite being charged for it. Very disappointing since many people from the event requested for details of the marquee company but didnt recommend them. I have since contacted them but the havent come back to me. More...
