THE GREAT OUTDOORS Where to host an al fresco wedding SPACEINTENSE, THROUGHOUT GLOUCESTERSHIRE AND NEIGHBOURING COUNTIES This marquee hire company offers various sized structures, drapes, furniture, flooring and accessories available for weddings and their latest addition is a 50ft by 70ft round-ended canvas marquee. The larger wedding tents available are traditional marquees ranging from a 30ft canvas style in a Victorian design to a 70ft circular Big Top tent. The 40ft traditional marquees can be round or square-ended and arranged either straight with two ends, as a T-section with three ends or as a cruciform with four ends, and there’s also smaller Chinese Hat tents ideal for hosting a ceremony. It’s worth noting that all of the marquees for hire require soft ground to be installed. The interior can be lined with an ivory pleated fabric or a black or midnight blue starcloth and separate spaces can be created for a wedding, for example, a bar, chill-out area with comfortable sofas, and space for a dancefloor. The large range of furniture for hire includes classic boarded trestle tables and wooden chairs with ivory seat pads. The marquees look magical when lit up with fairylights and bespoke lighting that can extend outside with Olympic torches marking walkways or steps.  MANOR BY THE LAKE, CHELTENHAM, GLOUCESTERSHIRE This award-winning, exclusive-use Victorian manor house is nestled in seven acres of grounds in the heart of the Cotswold countryside. It’s steeped in history and bursting with character, and the spectacular grounds offer outdoor options for wedding ceremonies including the Italian Pavilion situated next to the manor house, and the Lakeside Pavilion framed by immaculate gardens. There’s also the dramatic Manor Arches that’s a licensed setting which also makes a great photographic backdrop. Receptions take place in a choice of rooms inside the manor including in the beautiful Ballroom that opens out on to the lake and gardens for up to 250 guests. It’s a light and bright space and is home to a large bar, stage and dancefloor. Ceremony licence?
