Wow!! The end of the season! Yesterday we put up the Brixworth in Surrey for the last hire of the season. And what a season it has been!! A few facts and figures which quite frankly amazed me when I totted them all up...
Nick has driven over 5500 miles delivering and collection for Vintage Marquees this season! He has probably been involved with about three quarters of our bookings, so that is only part of our mileage totals!
We have done twenty three weddings, twenty one parties, seven country fairs, village fetes and vintage shows and I have hired out nine lots of items when the hirer has used other marquees (shock horror!!)
Of the parties, there have been three 18th, three 21st, five 40th, three 50th, one anniversary, two christenings, one 80th and three hires just for a party!!!! And I have worked at eleven of the events mostly catering and working with my girls waitressing and helping to run the show!
This is the pagoda, not a great pic though.
Now for a few months of consolidation before the next season! There are lots of new photos so major web site up dating to be done. I would also like to liase with some local wedding venues with the aim to reduce our mileage next year. Also on the marquee front, I am hoping to buy a 40' x 60' old canvas marquee this weekend, so we would be able to accommodate approximately 200 guests in one marquee!! I also very much hope to find a 30' x 50' marquee. Sadly the Raj was not made quite to our British standards and would not withstand the constant hirings our tents cope with. So I will be selling it I hope. Just call if you are interested! I also have three pretty pergoda tents which I have imported especially to sell. Just call for details!
