Abbas Marquees featured in Bristol & Somerset Wedding Magazine

15th January

 

This month Abbas Marquees will be featuring in 'Bristol & Somerset, Your Wedding'. Lucy and Jonathan approached us to create a quintissential English Wedding at their parent's home. We created a fabulous focal point by dressing chandeliers with flowers in the lemon, white and ivory colour scheme and the centrepieces were church candles surrounded by roses in a glass vase.

The snow must go on....

20th December

 

Snow? Not a problem! In fact, we feel that a snowscape provides an attractive backdrop for our marquees. We've just shovelled our way through tons of the stuff to ensure that a wedding went ahead. And very lovely it was too. In fact, as this is being typed (by an unhardy person in an office), we have donned our snowshoes again, and are heading off for another snowy celebration. If you've booked our services, and are worried about the weather, please give us a call we don't believe in giving in easily! (And we have a lovely collection of heaters...)

New for 2011

20th December

 

As ever, we've been reinvesting in expanding our portfolio. Have a look at our new chill out/party tent for 2011. It's the perfect marquee for a laid-back, contemporary style party, or perhaps as an annexe for a large event. We've also just bought lots of new exterior lighting, enabling Abbas to create an even more stunning atmosphere for your evening celebrations. So, it looks like 2011 will be another exciting year for Abbas Marquees we've already taken record bookings, and several weekends are already fully-booked. To find out more, please contact us.
