South West Marquees is the premier marquee hire company in the South West with over 28 years’ experience setting up marquees for weddings, pares, festivals and events. We provide a wide range of equipment for a full package, servicing the events industry all year round. Primarily, our business is a happy place to
work, made up of a team of staff some of whom have worked here for many years, from varying backgrounds. Unlike many roles in the events industry, we have tailored our work load to fit around a family life, so we are usually home by 5pm and try to keep out of hours work to a minimum. We want to hold onto staff once they become part of the team so work hard to make this a career rather than just a job.
