How to Create a Home from Home Marquee Wedding at Shermanbury Place

A marquee wedding done well doesn't feel like a tent — it feels like the most beautiful room you've ever walked into. One that just happens to have a countryside view and stars for a ceiling.

At Shermanbury Place, the grounds give you a blank canvas unlike anything a traditional venue can offer. The secret to making it feel truly special? Make it feel like you.

Bring in the Soft Furnishings Think plump cushions, velvet throws, vintage rugs, and armchairs tucked into corners. The more it feels like a living room, the more your guests will relax and stay all night.

Lighting is Everything Warm Edison bulbs, candles on every surface, and draped fairy lights transform a marquee after dark. Avoid anything too bright or clinical — soft and golden is the vibe.

Create Different Spaces A dining area, a dance floor, a quiet lounge, maybe even a little library corner with books and games. Zones give your wedding a sense of flow and keep the energy moving.

Personal Touches Everywhere Family photos on the tables, a bar named after your dog, a playlist that tells your story. The details that make guests smile are always the ones that mean something to you.

Don't Forget the Outside With grounds like Shermanbury's, the marquee is just the beginning. Fire pits, outdoor seating, and a clear starry sky are all part of the magic.

A marquee wedding here isn't just an event — it's a home for a day. And honestly? Some guests might not want to leave.
