Discos In Cornwall

2008-08-21T15:34:00.001+01:00

Being suppliers of marquees we often get asked about entertainment; whether it be DJs and discos, karaoke or even live bands. And of course having supplied marquees throughout Cornwall for several years now we have come into contact with just about every act out there. It is the modern approach in business to converge services. Our mobile phones now come with the internet, mp3 facilities, and gaming as well as the almost secondary function of being able to make phone calls; gas suppliers now supply electricity and vice versa. It would not surprise me to learn that there is a tower somewhere housing a committee of people who are already planning to create a business whose aim it is to supply our every daily need from one central hub.

However there is a lot to be said for some form of convergence as it affords people more time to arrange other aspects of their lives if some can be grouped under one supplier. In our case hiring marquees means we are also in a position to provide discos in Cornwall too. We have a range of light and sound equipment to suit any occasion but also a team of qualified engineers to help set your event up. Stage construction and light gantries can also be handled by us, leaving your DJ of choice to turn up, plug in and get the party started!

Discos can be organised almost anywhere in the Cornwall area when you hire a marquee. In your back garden or your office car park, or as an extension of your local pub or club; our services rival anyone in the country which is probably why we've worked with such prestigious clients in the past. See our services page for more details (and to see a list of just some of those previous customers).

Birthday Parties Cornwall

2008-07-29T14:43:00.000+01:00

Organising birthday parties in Cornwall is not an easy task. For a start there are so many distinctive and awe-inspiring places to set a party in Cornwall that it is almost impossible to choose the right venue. Of course, you could open up your options even further by considering the use of a marquee to host your party. Hiring marquees means you could potentially host birthday parties almost anywhere in Cornwall!

Some people will often question the use of a marquee, quoting things like "Does that mean we won't have a proper bar?", or "Won't that be a little squashed?", or even questioning whether or not hosting parties in a marquee somehow devalues the occasion. We disagree with all of those objections and that's because we have the experience to know that firstly we can equip a marquee with a fully stocked bar; one which includes beer, wine, spirits and alcopops - something for everyone, from your teenage brother to granny! Secondly we stock marquees for birthday parties of any size, so unless you underestimate your own popularity we can cater for your event. Apart from the private functions we provide for we also work with large corporate firms and business exhibitions, so no job is too big or too small.

Finally we understand that birthday parties are important to get right, and therefore we can match the marquee decoration to suit your own tastes and occasion. From chandelier lighting, carpets and wallpaper to a more simple dance-floor and stage for band and/or DJ, we are able to work around your specifications, as well as advising on what will and won't work. Feel free to shower us with ideas, we have the experience and knowledge to help you get the best from your party!

Weddings Cornwall

2008-07-29T12:31:00.001+01:00

A wedding day is a special thing. A once in a lifetime opportunity to express love and admiration for another person in front of friends and family. A public declaration of commitment between two people and a great chance to get together with loved ones and have a good old fashioned knees-up. Wherever weddings take place it is a beautiful occasion, but Cornwall weddings benefit from the area's natural beauty. That's not to say that many people who are based in elsewhere in the UK pack their bags, their nearest and dearest and convoy down the motorway to have their wedding in Cornwall. Although I have heard of this happening; after all it's quite the done thing to incorporate the honeymoon and wedding into one event these days. I recently attended a wedding in Malta, whilst I know of two close members of family who are getting married in Greece and Rhodes respectively (NB - there are two weddings, not one wedding between members of my family - just to be clear on that point!)

Anyway, going back to my point, weddings are a great chance to get together with those friends and family who might not otherwise congregate in one place. Or at least they might not meet very often. Either way it is important for weddings to go to plan to ensure that everyone can relax. Sure there are bound to be nerves and there are nearly always issues to be dealt with. Not every eventuality can be prepared for, but we are experienced in not only supplying wedding marquees throughout Cornwall, but also in playing a part in the organisation and smooth running of weddings.

We can organise not only the installation of your wedding marquee, but also the DJ (or alternative entertainment), providing the sound system, we can advise and set up decor to suit your requirements and ensure that the day goes to plan. Weddings in Cornwall are beautiful and we're proud to be a part of these special days.

Corporate Marquees Cornwall

2008-06-23T17:03:00.000+01:00

The word "marquee" has it's origins within the British armed forces of 1690 and, as with much of the English language, is heavily influenced by the French who invaded our land during these times. Originally the word represented a linen canopy which would be thrown over a tent to identify it as being the location of the the marquis. The marquis was one rank down from the Duke and it was his duty to guard the frontiers of the kingdom. Whilst this title no longer exists it's use has been passed down and remains in place as a representative of a large, or significant tent.

Perhaps you might not think this is interesting, or even related to the field of corporate marquees in Cornwall, but I always believe it's interesting and important to know the origin of things. OK maybe it's not important in this case, but our language has been infiltrated and influenced so many times that it's useful to know why we use the words and names we do.

In this example corporate marquees and it's origins doesn't teach us all that much, except that some might want to point out the regency in it's origination and it's significance in the battles fought by our Country. For anyone who believed marquees to be the unpopular option when it comes to putting corporate events on, perhaps this will help sway their thoughts somewhat. Or perhaps not, who knows!

Wedding Marquees North Cornwall

2008-06-02T18:36:00.001+01:00

When someone says "wedding marquees" to you, what image is conjured up in your mind? Let's pretend your partner or your friend comes to you one evening and says "hey we've been invited to a wedding ... they're having the reception in North Cornwall ... in a marquee"? What do you think? Are you excited, or happy, or would this news cause you to groan, roll your eyes and reach for the diary in hope that you've already got plans for that evening?

There are many misconceptions about hiring wedding marquees; indeed it is an unfortunate fact that the usual trigger response to the suggestion of a marquee is one full of derisory undertones and apprehension. But hiring a wedding marquee is probably nothing like what you would expect. In order to bust the myths I have listed below some common knee-jerk reactions in response to wedding marquees, with a brief explanation as to why these should not be considered true. I should note that the reactions below were found on an internet forum where someone had posed a question in relation to whether or not they should hire a marquee for their wedding reception:

* A marquee means no bar, and a limited choice buffet meal - simply not true. A marquee can be hired to suit any party requirements. A bar operating with pumps and optics can be arranged and installed; whilst catering can be supplied to match any occasion.
* Hiring a wedding marquee means a boring white tent with no character - again, false. It is possible to decorate marquees with wooden floors, chandeliers and the whole decor can be arranged specific to each wedding.
* Won't it be cold/hot inside a tent - No! Whilst you might be aware that tents can be stuffy in the hot summer sun, and a little exposed to the wind and rain during a winter's day, all marquees can be fit with air conditioning or heating, ensuring the right atmosphere for your wedding.
* Won't it be a walk to the toilets? - Toilets (and I mean "proper" indoor toilets) can be attached to the side of a marquee, making it no different than having your reception in a function room.

So these are just a few reasons which might put people off hiring a marquee for their wedding, I am sure that sceptics will find more, but there is no reason why you shouldn't consider hiring one for your special day, as most all objections can be answered. Please feel free to take a look around the rest of the Bumblebees Marquees web site, a company who hire wedding marquees in north cornwall and are proud of their reputation for quality and professionalism.

Marquee Hire Cornwall

2008-04-07T16:18:00.000+01:00

Welcome to the blog page of Bumblebees Marquees. Over the coming weeks and months this page will be updated with articles and posts related to the world of marquees and marquee hire in Cornwall.

Marquee tents are not tents in the traditional sense of the word. I think most of us would agree with that. The word "tent" invokes images of mountain terrains, woodland campfire and most of all, sleep. Marquee tents are not usually hired as a shelter for one to catch forty winks. Neither are they likely to be carried on the backs of hikers in order to be pitched in a forest clearing or a hillside ridge. No, the marquees hired throughout Cornwall and Devon by Bumblebees Marquees are highly unlikely to provide the appropriate atmosphere for sleeping in.

Another name for marquee tents is "party tents". Marquee hire in Cornwall is commonly used for weddings, parties and other formal functions. Because of the size and equipment required to install wedding marquees or party marquees it is not normally possible to set them up via DIY methods. Qualified professionals like Bumblebees Marquees not only hire their marquees but also offer their services as installers of the tents as well.

Marquee hire Cornwall as provided by Bumblebees Marquees allows you to choose the specification of tent to suit your event perfectly. The flexibility of the marquees on offer means that you can specify the size of the tent. Not only this, but you can choose whether or not to hire your marquee in Cornwall to either be an empty shelter, allowing maximum space for your party guests, or for more formal occasions you can have the marquee fitted out with floors, linings, lighting and furniture.
