Genuine comments from our customers over the years…
“I booked Marquees by Nixon for my housewarming party (20 guests) in Hampshire in September 2023. I was very impressed and happy with the service they offered. They were helpful and friendly and provided a large marquee for my guests along with tables and chairs. Ordering was easy, and delivery and collection very flexible and stress-free. I can wholeheartedly recommend them and wouldn’t think twice about using their services again.”
Adam, Hampshire – September 2023
“I used Marquees by Nixon for my engagement party, the whole process of hiring the marquee was seamless. The communication throughout was brilliant, right up until to the day/time Craig was arriving to put the marquee up. Fantastic service and the whole team were friendly, tidy and efficient. I would absolutely look no further if you are thinking of hiring a marquee. 100% recommend these guys.”

Thank you guys for making our wedding day more special and also being so time efficient!”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience using Marquees by Nixon. Craig was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the process, and his wisdom around the choice of marquee given the unsettled weather conditions was crucial. Will certainly be using Marquess by Nixon again!”

Howard – July 2023
“I was looking for a Marquee for an event and after several competitors, I choose Marquees by Nixon. Craig initially came and measured up and went through all the details in depth with me and assured me all will be well. TRUE to his word, everything he mentioned was delivered and set up as he promised. I highly recommend using them, he and his team were all brilliant.”

Claire – May 2023
“Can’t recommend these guys enough. Recently hired a Capri Marquee for a work event. Craig is fabulous with support up to the event, and then the set-up and take down was really great. The marquee looked fab and was life saver in the summer sun! Already booked again for another event!”

“Craig got us out of trouble at Wickham Festival when the winds took my own gazebo out, despite the fact that it was end of day. Within what felt like 5 minutes he had us weathertight and windproofed. Can’t thank him enough!”
Caron – August 2021
“Hired for our 5th wedding anniversary. Craig & the team were very polite from first to last contact. The dome was great & something different to mark a special occasion. Would definitely recommend.”
Alex – May 2021
“We hired an igloo for my mum’s 70th birthday, it was absolutely brilliant and helped to make her lockdown birthday very special. The communication was exceptional, very quick to get back to me, brilliant professional service, really friendly and Covid safe. The igloo set up looked stunning, lovely lighting, lanterns, heater and comfortable seats. It was worth every penny and would definitely recommend.”
Jenny – April 2021
“Thanks once again for your fantastic marquee and service for our wedding last week. You made the process so incredibly easy and we were thrilled with the results. We cannot recommend enough.”
Lauren & Doug, Portsmouth – September 2019
“From the very beginning the communication between ourselves and Craig was fantastic and he was always available to discuss any questions that arose. The marquee arrived two days before the event and Craig and his team were polite and professional and erected the marquee in super quick time. We also hired tables, chairs and glasses through Craig and these were all delivered. We decorated it ourselves and all our guests were amazed at how good a marquee looked in our garden and it was a fantastic addition to our wedding. After the wedding, the team collected everything when we were on honeymoon and on our return everything was back to normal. I cannot thank Craig enough for his consistent engagement and professionalism and would wholly recommend.”
Michelle & Ian, Fareham – July 2019
“Thank you so much for making my party go so well, by making the hiring of the marquee and accessories so easy. It was such a pleasure to talk to you, you were always so kind, tolerant and helpful. Above all you were efficient but really friendly, it was a joy meeting you all. We will definitely be using you in the future, don’t ever stop smiling.”
David & Liz, Nr Lyndhurst – July 2018
“I just wanted to put down in writing how much we appreciated your excellent, friendly and highly efficient service regarding the marquee at our daughter’s wedding party last Sunday. We all thought it looked perfect in the setting and was much appreciated by guests. The sun got quite hot over the course of the day so it provided the perfect shaded refuge for those who needed it, yet was large enough for many others to just pop in and out to collect drinks etc. Rest assured that we would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone hoping to host a similar event.”
Lesley & Jeff, Guildford – May 2018
“Fantastic service, from start to finish. Craig provided a marquee for my sons christening, he couldn’t have done more. The communication was fantastic, he came to do a site visit and delivery & collection were brilliant too. Thanks so much Craig & team!”
Lucy – September 2017
“I wanted to formally thank you and your wonderful team for your splendid service this weekend and in the process leading up to it. It seems to be so rare these days to find someone as solution-oriented (with good humour too) as yourself. Nothing has been too much trouble for you, so thank you for that. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone planning a marquee party.”
Michele, South Harting – August 2017
“You were a delight to work with, always so responsive to queries and requests. From the time Shonagh and I chose Marquees by Nixon as our marquee and interior provider, we had peace of mind because we felt, quite rightly as it turned out, that you were wholly professional and reliable. Thank you so much for making our day so special.”
Geoff, Rowlands Castle – June 2016
“I wanted to say a huge thank you for the lovely marquee you provided for my father’s 90th birthday party. It was perfect for the day providing shelter from the rain and somewhere to sit in the evening. It was a joy to do business with you – everything was so easy and uncomplicated from the first phone call to the dismantling and removal of the marquee. We had wonderful service from lovely people and we would have no hesitation in using you again and recommending you.”
Helen, Gosport – June 2015
“Just thought we would touch base as we have now returned from honeymoon!! Needless to say we were bowled over with the service that we received leading up to our Wedding which was only matched by the service, professionalism and quality that we received during the Wedding itself. We would recommend Marquees by Nixon to anybody looking for a Marquee for any kind of event. The Marquees are stylish, of excellent quality and exceptionally clean. We spoke to several companies in choosing our Marquee and this one was the best by some margin.”
Mr & Mrs B, Wiltshire – May 2015
“We can’t thank you enough for the professional and efficient services you provided. You gave us the “wow!” factor we were looking for for our anniversary celebration – all our guests were very complimentary about the Capri marquee, and it fitted in brilliantly with our garden setting. You saved us an enormous amount of stress with the supply of tables, plates, and cutlery: we don’t cater for 50 people every day of the week. For any prospective clients you may have out there, we can’t recommend you highly enough.”
Richard & Vicky, Farnham – July 2014
“Steve and I were looking around for a Marquee for our garden wedding with only 4 weeks to arrange. When looking around on the internet we were being asked what size and what was the area like where it was to go up and came across many barriers. It was very frustrating as we were not sure what to expect or what size we could have and then we found Nixon Marquees wow! Craig came over to our house and discussed how a Marquee company works and the fact we could fit a larger one in then we first thought, which was great as we had over 100 guests attending our garden wedding. Two days before the day Craig and his team turned up and spent the day erecting a beautiful Marquee, with all the internal drapes, lighting , flooring, tables and chairs it was amazing and made our day. After the wedding we went away and on our return the Marquee had been collected with everything else and our garden left in good order with no inconvenience to us. What an extremely professional family company at a very good price, reliable, trustworthy and well worth it. Highly recommended.”
Dee & Steve, Fareham – March 2014
“My husband and I wanted you to know how impressed we were with your marquee service. From the outset it was clear to us that we were in very safe and knowledgeable hands. From the comprehensive quote, quickly supplied, to the attention to detail in terms of our requirements, through to the actual assembly and removal, it was a thoroughly professional service which we would be more than happy to recommend. The marquee arrived on time, left on time, was exactly as we had ordered and all the extra requirements were exactly met. All of this helped hugely in enabling us to get on with enjoying our party which we certainly did.”
Tracy, Portsmouth – August 2013
“I just want to send you and your team a big thank you from myself and my husband. You gave Susie and Dave so much help and advice both prior to and on the day of their wedding. When we arrived it was breathtaking to see the lovely marquee which had been set up so beautifully. It truly made for a lovely day. Despite the wind it was cosy and warm inside and the dance floor was just the right size for everyone to have a good time. Because of your help and advice Susie and Dave were able to relax and enjoy their day knowing that you had everything organised.”
Maureen & Chris (Susie’s parents) – June 2013
“I just wanted to say thank you for your contribution to our party on Sunday. The marquee and all the trimmings looked fantastic, the sun came out and we had a fabulous day! My husband was fooled until we arrived! I shall certainly recommend your firm if anyone asks me about it, all the best.”
Carol, Warblington – July 2012
“A note to say thank you so much for providing your wonderful marquee for our wedding. All of our guests were amazed that it wasn’t just a “tent”! Your service and communication were excellent, we will certainly be recommending you to our friends and family (and anyone else who asks!) and we hope to call on your services again.”
Laura & Tony – May 2011
“We used Marquees by Nixon to supply and erect a marquee for a summer garden party. Craig and Mark were efficient, reliable and very professional. They are very willing to please and we will certainly use them again when we require a marquee.”
