Perfect for the DIY Bride, Dry Hire Venues, Weddings at Home
My favorite type of venues are 'DIY' or dry hire venues, as these provide couples with a blank canvas for you to get creative and truly make a celebration that’s bespoke and individual to you. You may even be planning to hold your celebration at home in the garden with a marquee.
However, marquees events and dry hire venues do need a lot of consideration and a lot of planning both in the run up to the big day and in the set-up, either the day before or on the actual day. You will need to consider such elements as toilets, provision of water and power as well as all the usual event necessaries.
