What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

All we need to know to provide a fully accurate quote is an idea of the event date, what type of event such as wedding, show, sporting event etc as well as some idea of guest numbers. This can be quite difficult to estimate if it's for an event which is open to the public but if we know what the marquee is being used for, whether it's for stall holders, a beer tent, café area or display area we have the knowledge and experience to know what will work for you.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

My very first piece of advice, especially for wedding marquees, would be to ask any supplier you may be interested in using if you can view one of their marquees set up for a wedding in your area. There's such a huge variation in standards across our industry so I think it's very important to do this if you can so that you can see exactly what to expect from any supplier. Most marquee companies will offer a quote and will follow this up with a free, no obligation site visit. Book early if you can, we'd recommend you book about a year in advance if you're looking for a specific date as we do get booked up pretty quickly. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions. We know that it can feel a bit daunting and we're here to help every step of the way.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

There has been a marquee company in Berwick-upon-Tweed for over 200 years! When this looked as though it was going to come to an end in 2008, we took a leap of faith, bought the stock from the previous owner and formed Olympus Marquees. We invested heavily in new marquees and interior equipment and are now an award winning wedding marquee supplier so we must be getting something right! We are all passionate about what we do and will never leave site until our customers (and team) are 100% happy with their marquees.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

Although we're relatively new to Add to Event, we have yet to be fortunate enough to provide a quotation! We've had many, many requests for quotations but, because of the nature of what we do, we haven't yet had availability to supply on the dates requested! Despite this, we remain excited to provide our first one!
