Expert marquee management at Country Houses, Exclusive use hotels, and Private Estates

For luxury outdoor celebrations in the Cotswolds, London, England and beyond.

Pocketful of Dreams is an expert marquee wedding planner. For the most intimate, personal and memorable celebration – a marquee wedding at home, or on the perfect site, is the ultimate dream destination and we provide a bespoke service that includes marquee events for large gatherings. 

We specialise in creating customised outdoor weddings by transforming open landscapes, private homes and country estates into immersive, design-led experiences.

Whether your vision is an intimate tented dinner surrounded by gardens, or a multi-day celebration in a sailcloth marquee on a private estate, we plan and produce celebrations that reflect your story, your style, and your setting.

We have planned a variety of private home marquee weddings, as well as tent and marquee multi-day weekend weddings on country estates all across England. From contemporary glass orangery and clearspan marquees, to traditional canvas pole tents, elegant sailcloth sperry tents, frame marquees, stretch tents and everything in between.

Why Choose a Marquee Wedding

A marquee or tent wedding offers the ultimate creative freedom to create a wedding that is truly personal to you, a chance to build your celebration from the ground up. Every wall, window, and walkway is tailored to you, allowing your personality and aesthetic to shape the entire environment.

Pocketful of Dreams is experienced in managing the full logistics of temporary event builds, from marquee design, infrastructure, and layout to catering coordination, supplier access, and contingency planning for all weather conditions.

Our role is to translate that freedom into something seamless. From power distribution and flooring to guest flow and catering infrastructure, we manage every behind-the-scenes detail so your wedding feels fluid, elegant, and perfectly in tune with its surroundings.

For our clients, this is often the most personal way to host a wedding, at home, on family land, or in a breathtaking landscape that holds meaning.

Designing Marquees and Tents with Purpose

Building Beauty from the Ground Up

Design-Led Marquee & Tent Weddings

Our team is known for design-driven planning and considered production. We collaborate with the UK’s most skilled suppliers to build architectural marquees and tents that balance form with function.

With an incredibly thorough service to help you navigate the often complex logistics of planning a marquee wedding.

We’ve produced celebrations within:

• Grand glass orangeries

Each one is crafted to complement its environment, layered with tactile materials, sculptural florals and atmospheric lighting, so guests feel part of the landscape, not just in it.

Planning a Marquee Wedding at Home

A marquee wedding at home or on private land is a true blank canvas, and with it comes a unique set of considerations.

We provide a discreet, professional service to oversee every element: from permissions and ground surveys to build schedules, weather contingencies and guest amenities. We’re meticulous about protecting and respecting your home, working closely with you to map supplier access, plan infrastructure routes, and minimise disruption to your surroundings.

Every variable is anticipated, from how suppliers load in and out to how guests move comfortably through the space. Over the years, we’ve created every manner of pop-up environment, from elegant dining marquees to hidden nightclubs nestled deep within private gardens, to children’s creche areas to glamping sites and entire tented villages.

With fifteen years of experience across the UK and Europe, we’ve transformed everything from walled gardens and meadows to stately lawns and lakesides into world-class event settings. Our approach combines creativity with rigorous planning, ensuring your celebration feels seamless, refined, and entirely at home.
