The occasion was a wedding reception with dancing.
The challenge was to create spaces for a wedding breakfast, for dancing and for a chillout section; and also to take advantage of beautiful views at Hampden House near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The weather in October was also a concern, as the marquee was at some distance from the house.
The solution: first, two clearspan marquees were joined to create two separate sections — one for the wedding breakfast, and one for a chillout / reception area.
Then, the main dining section was split again by a reveal screen into two more sections — one for dining and one for dancing. The dance section — lent a different sparkly character by a starlight ceiling — was hidden behind the reveal screen during the meal for a surprise element.
Clear panoramic windows on three external sides of the structure took advantage of the views and created a light, airy feel.
As for the weather, an extra-long walkway with matting to cover the ground was set up at the last minute when the weather forecast looked uncertain to protect guests walking to the wedding tent.
