 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked Lewis Marquees for our wedding this August (2025), and they were absolutely incredible! The marquee was stunning - an authentic pole marquee that completely exceeded our expectations. Orlando was amazing to work with - so efficient, professional, and helpful throughout the whole process. The team on the day were fantastic too: friendly, organised, and incredibly accommodating. They went above and beyond, even helping our florist decorate the poles, which made everything look perfect. We couldn’t recommend Lewis Marquees highly enough. If you’re planning a wedding or event, they’re the team to trust - professional, reliable, and a joy to work with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Lewis Marquees for our Wedding in June. They were brilliant, arrived when they said they would, had the Marquee up no time, came back to fix an issue (not their fault) they were having with the electrics asap, staff were super friendly and couldn't have been helpful. They even went back to their yard to try and find an unusual adapter for our generator (which wasn't hired through them) just to help us out. Honestly couldn't recommend them more highly!

Orlando and his team are amazing, they are always available to speak to whether that be a call or email, I have dealt with them on a professional level on multiple occasions and welcome their partnership every time as the level of service is nothing short of the best in the industry. I look forward to working together more in the future - Mark

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Lewis Marquees for our wedding in May and were very happy with their service. They were very friendly, professional and accommodating, and the marquee looked superb. They also provided many of the other bits we required for the wedding (tables, chairs, bar, lights, etc) which made things much easier than dealing with multiple suppliers. I would highly recommend this company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Lewis Marquees for our wedding in August at Brod Half Penny Down. The communication and advice before and on the day was excellent, the marquee looked great and withheld some pretty awful weather! It was a lovely space and was literally stress free for us!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lewis Marquees were great from start to finish. Orlando took the time to understand our wedding vision and ran through all the possible options to support making it happen (for which there were many and his experience and advice was so valuable in our decision making at this stage). He also provided us with details of trusted suppliers to ensure all aspects of the wedding were arranged. Once we had decided on the set up and interiors, Orlando and his team clearly communicated dates and times for delivery, build and breakdown which all went smoothly. Everyone at Lewis Marquees was friendly and professional and the quality of everything supplied was excellent. Highly recommend.
