Welcome to Bees Knees Marquees

How long will the marquee be up for?

Usually your marquee will be installed the day before your event, this is to ensure that if you make any changes there is plenty time to adjust (weddings two days before). For example if you want a marquee for a saturday we will install on a thursday or friday and remove it on the monday, although the marquee can usually be installed on the day depending on the size.

We also won't charge you for....

erecting a marquee on any surface other than grass.

putting up or taking down on a saturday or sunday.

attatching guttering between your house and the marquee to prevent the rain getting in.

windows in the marquee.

delivery and collection.

Insurance

We have public liability insurance of £1 million, but this does not cover any damage you cause to our equipment. The hirer is responsible for any damage to the marquee & equipment whilst on hire to them. If anything is damaged the hirer will be charged at replacement cost only.

Deposits and Cancellations

To reserve the date and equipment we ask for a minimum of 20% of the agreed total as a deposit. This deposit will be deducted off the total and is non refundable if you cancel. However if you decide to pay more than the 20% and you cancel then anything payed over the 20% will be refunded (excluding dance floor payment).Cancellation on Bees Knees Marquees behalf due to force majeure will be return of the hirers deposit in full.

Equipment

After every hire we clean all the equipment regularly updating stock that fails to clean up, therefore many customers often comment that all our stock looks brand new. Our marquees are high quality, fully waterproof white marquees (none have stripes). All marquees comply to the requirements of BS 7837 flammability testing, however they still may be tarnished by heat or fire so no bbqs in or within 3m of the marquee.

Force Majeure

Bees Knees Marquees does not accept responsibility for any failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its control. While every effort will be made by Bees Knees Marquees to carry out any contract which has been made it is subject to cancellation or variation. Cancellation will be a consequent upon act of god, high wind, war, fire, flood, storm, ingress of snow, government regulation, or restrictions on the use of transport, fuel or power.
