Dear Paul
Just to say a huge thank you to you, Lance and your staff for providing us with such a fantastic setting for our daughters wedding.
Lance and the staff did a wonderful job for us, and it seemed that nothing was too much trouble. They were also unfailingly cheerful throughout the rain, and there was quite a lot of it! Lance and his "can do, no problem" attitute was much appreciated, especially when we had yet another particularly heavy downpour at four o'clock on Friday afternoon and I was definitely in panic mode.
On the day itself the sun shone, the marquees looked superb, the lights, dance floor, lining, windows, doors etc etc all looked incredible - a real WOW factor. The superlatives go on and on.
Even though the marquees have gone and we are left with four areas of flattened grass, we are still on a complete high, and would just like to thank you all again for your part in making our daughter's wedding such a memorable occasion.
Best wishes,
Paul and Gillian Whittle
Hello Paul
My family and I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for providing a great service during our wedding. We were all really pleased that you suggested the purple trim as it made a huge difference to the presentation of the marquee, the lighting was also very effective.
Special mention to Dave who ensured a very professional build-up with a minimum of disruption, he was very courteous and helpful and a credit to your operation.
Last but certainly no least, many thanks to your goodself as it was your undisputed knowledge and experience, apparent from our very first meeting that gave me the confidence to proceed with your company. As you obviouly know, Chelmer are not the lowest priced suppler of marquees in the martet but I am happy to advise that I believe you provided very good value for money and would be more than happy to provide a reference or customer testimonial if one should be required in the future.
Thanks and regards,
Bob Morrison
Dear Paul
When planning such a special event as our wedding it is essential to contract companies that can work together and perform on the day, this can only be achieved if every party prepares and plans meticulously in advance.
Laura and I were delighted with your service and professionalism from start to finish, you gave us the confidence that Chelmer Marquees would perform on the day, leaving us to enjoy the celebrations and this certainly proved to be the case.
As our wedding was taking place at my brother in-law's house we were anxious that every care should be taken to ensure there was as little disruption as possible to the house and grounds. While on our honeymoon the week after the wedding we were delighted to hear from my brother in-law that the clear up operation had been as smooth as the set up and that Chelmer Marquees had made every effort to ensure that the house and grounds were returned as much as possible to their original state.
We will have no hesitation in recommending yourself and Chelmer Marquees in the future to family, friends and business associates and hope one day to call on your services once more.
Many thanks to you Paul and your team. Best wishes and every success for the future.
Kind regards,
Julian and Laura Sheldrake
Dear Graham,
We just wanted to say thank you very much for the amazing marquee you provided for our wedding day. We had the most fantastic day and the marquee was perfect for the atmosphere we wanted to create.
Thank you to you and all of your team who battled with torrential rain to put the marquee up and for all your work to make everything special for us.
Nicki and Mark

Dear Chelmer Marquees,
On behalf of everyone concerned with the arrangements for our naming ceremony with the Duke of Kent on the 26th May our sincere thanks for the splendid marquee, which proved to be a great help due to the appalling weather.
The Marquee managed to house nearly 400 very wet and bedraggled people so they could enjoy a cup of tea with the Duke.
Special thanks to Lance and his team. The day was a great success despite the weather and your input was an important factor.
Yours sincerely.
Philip Oxley - Lifeboat Operations Manager

Dear Paul
I have been meaning to write for several weeks to express my thanks for the outstanding job you and your team did back in September. I know that ensuring we actually had a marquee for the evening was not straight forward, so I am doubly impressed that you were able to first meet and then exceed our expectations.
I could mention so much, but I think it was the attention to detail and your can do approach that really impressed us the most. The lighting, circular bar and chill-out room were spectacular, but the way in which that team were marshaled on site and the complete professionalism they displayed when faced with last minute changes was genuinely impressive. The take down and clean up was also impressively efficient and thorough.
I have worked with and even for other marquee firms over the years, but I will only now recommend Chelmer Marquees and indeed have already done so. Thank you again to all the team. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
Kind regards,
Charlie Warburton
Dear Graham,
Thank you very much for the marquee and all the ancillary equipment you provided for our big weekend 9th - 11th July.
As you know these events are always somewhat fraught with all the different services and people that make up the event, but I must say how very helpful you and all your staff were over the three days. I must single out Darren who was so wonderful, nothing was too much trouble (even in the hot weather) and he looked after our queries with patience and expertise.
Thank you particularly for rising to the challenge of providing an alternative (at a reasonable price, thank you) to the ugly and obtrusive fence around the stage.
Once again Chelmer have provided a first class service, thank you all.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Hindmarch
Dear Paul,
I am writing to thank you and the team for all you did, not only last weekend but also the painstaking planning that went into achieving such a well run and happy weekend.
The marquees looked magical and suited the days perfectly. Lunch in the reception tent on Sunday was ideal and that inside/outside feel we wanted happened! Weren't we lucky with the weather!
Lance was a rock on the night as well as his leadership before and after the events. All the boys were marvelous and the place looked spotless on departure considering we are all indebted (yet again) to your professionalism but it is more than that isn't it? Your friendly service is one we have come to rely on over the years. Thank heavens for Chelmers! Until the next time.
With best wishes to you all,
Teresa Hall
Can I take this opportunity to thank you and the team who erected and dismantled the marquee. We will be recommending you to all who will listen!
Everything worked like clockwork and it was all achieved with great efficiency and the minimum of fuss.
We are grateful to you for your advice, accommodating our change of access requirements and for generally making the whole experience as stress free as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Ball
Dear Paul,
Many thanks to you, Lance and your team for the excellent work you did in putting up and providing the marquees for Victoria and Andrew's wedding breakfast.
The marquee looked splendid and we loved the lanterns in the dining marquee, just the right number and distribution of sizes. I was pleased that we requested a slightly larger dance marquee than the original, it gave a better platform for the band and created a wonderful atmosphere for dancing and drinking at the bar.
We admire your patience and tolerance as it was not easy translating the couples ideas into reality. Nothing was too much trouble for you and the team to do and we thank you for that and also for your help on the day itself.
The professionalism of your company and the quality of the marquees cannot be bettered. A guest commented, They even have proper doors! Following the splendid work you did for Charlotte and Piers wedding four years ago we had no hesitation then and have no hesitation in the future in recommending highly Chelmer Marquees.
With our grateful thanks and best wishes to you all,
Gillian Anderson
I would like to take this opportunity of
thanking you and your team so very much for the most wonderful service
and attention to detail.
We all found that every aspect had been covered and that your team,
headed by Lance, was brilliant on both occasions this summer. Please
pass on our sincere thanks to Lance and his team for being so efficient,
hard working and courteous.
Several of our friends who attended these celebrations during the
summer have asked for your name and details and it is with great
pleasure that we have passed on this information. I hope that some
beneficial business emerges in due course.
Again, with very much thanks and with best wishes.
Yours Sincerely,
Nicholas Pearson
Dear Graham, Deborah and the Chelmer team,
Thank you so very much for the amazing marquee that you supplied for our wedding in September. It looked so beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations.
We received so many compliments on the style and quality of the Tea-shape marquee and were so please that we chose this design.
Lance and the team worked so hard and were so professional and polite and handled any queries we had efficiently.
We have already been recommending you to friends and family. Thank you once again for making our venue so beautiful and day so memorable.
Thank you again.
All our love,

Dear Graham,
Thank you so much for all you did to make our wedding go so smoothly.

a very stressful occasion.
We will be recommending you to all who will listen!
With best wishes,
Amy Swan
Dear Paul,
Just a quick note to thank you, Graham and your team for all your
help and for providing a fantastic marquee for our wedding.
The marquee looked amazing and we loved the huge dance floor! The
positioning of the band and the DJ worked really well also, thank
you.
We had a brilliant day and really appreciate all your help in the
lead up to the wedding. We would not hesitate in recommending Chelmer
Marquees and shall look forward to receiving your invoice.
Kind regards,
Chan and Nick Jackson
Dear Paul and Graham,
Thank your for the wonderful marquee you supplied for our wedding
on 20th June 2009. It was like new and a great deal of care had
clearly gone into the look of the marquee and the way it was put
up. Lance was a gem, sorting any problems we had very efficiently.
We hear you have some pictures on your file but we do also have
some. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like some
copies.
Thank you again.
Best wishes,
Will and Libbie Ketley
