WEATHER OBSESSION
As you may guess marquee contractors are weather obsessed, so here is an update on 2010 for you. After a very cold winter and the wettest Feburary in 10 years, we had fairly average rainfall in March. Virtually no rain in April so far. The April average for the last 10 years is about 50mm; thats a lot of rain to come in the last few days if we are to hit the average, though in 07 we only had about 3mm all April.
Actually this has led to some problems. For example the ground was so waterlogged on one local site even after half of April with no rain, that we had to erect a wedding marquee for the weekend of 17th April at an alternative site. All went well however (link to thank you letter), and brilliant weather on the day.
MARQUEE MATTERS. The new season is very much underway. Our cleaning & maintenance has gone according to schedule and should complete before the end of next week just in time for the busy period to really get going.
Bookings continue to come in, though our last minute modern world means that many are coming in later & later! PLEASE MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR EVERYONE. If you are planning to get married, it is a good idea to book your marquee at the same time as you book the church or registry office, and in any case at least 6 months in advance. That way you should be able to get exactly what you want. Our shortest lead time from first contact to event date last year was 1 day (not a wedding thankfully). Whilst if we have stock, vehicle and manpower availability, we will always try to help, you are taking a big risk if you order late - we are already fully booked for many weekends this summer, and sure lots of other marquee companies will be in the same position.
