Marquees With Pryde

Marquee hire for events in Bedfordshire and neighbouring counties

Marquees With Pryde is a marquee and event equipment hire company based in Sharnbrook, a village between Bedford and Rushden in the English county of Bedfordshire. Its work is aimed at private and professional celebrations in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, Rutland and the surrounding counties.

The firm presents itself as a specialist in events of up to 500 guests, a range that covers everything from wedding receptions and milestone birthdays to festivals and corporate gatherings. In its own description it stresses that its small size allows it to adapt to the particularities of each commission.

Four marquee styles and complementary equipment

The hire catalogue is organised into four marquee families, available in different sizes depending on the type of installation:

• Clearspan: a wide range of rigid and flexible structures, allowing configurations of variable width.
• Capri: two sizes on offer, 28 x 38 feet (approximately 9 x 12 metres) and 20 x 20 feet.
• Pagoda (also known as Chinese hat marquees): designed for smaller events of up to 60 people.
• Stretch Tents: the most recent addition to the company's inventory.

Alongside the marquees, the company offers furniture and other event equipment, as well as lighting packages, according to the testimonials on its website.

Weddings, parties and corporate celebrations

The uses the company highlights are weddings, garden parties, private parties and corporate events. The firm's blog also documents installations for milestone birthdays — such as a 40th birthday celebrated in a garden in Amersham, Hertfordshire —, family reunions and children's parties.

A testimonial published on the site describes a wedding reception with two Capri marquees joined together, a seated meal for 90 guests, a dance floor and space for a seven-piece band, with a lighting package that the client describes as excellent.

Inventory evolution

The blog entries allow readers to follow the progressive expansion of stock: in July 2015 the company announced the addition of clearspan marquees, until then limited to capri; in March 2016 it reported the acquisition of a 6 x 15 metre clearspan marquee and the availability of pagodas. The most recent blog content dates from 2018 and covers marquee decoration and installation processes.
