Torrential snowfall, bitter cold and marquees? Not usually
three terms that you would associate with each other is it! February, however,
has bucked this trend with wedding marquees, beer tents and sporting events all
using the services of Best Intent. Marquees – which are stereotypically seen as
summer structures – are becoming more and more popular all year round and with
the heaters that are available to keep the marquees at a nice temperature don’t
limit your thoughts to summer events!
February began with a wedding in the beautiful grounds of
Greywalls Hotel, Gullane. The marquee sporting a champagne carpet and
uplighters was beautifully elegant and in touch with the breath-taking
surroundings looking over the 2013 Open Championship Golf Course of Muirfield.
The weekend after saw the begin of Scotland’s 6 Nations
Championship at Murrayfield and a marquee being erected at the MurrayfieldHotel which is a premier venue for the rugby goers to have a pre and post-match
drink and also provides big screen entertainment so even those without tickets
for the game can go along and be part of the atmosphere in the shadow of the
national stadium. Best Intent’s relationship with the Murrayfield Hotel has
been running for 3 years now and hopefully this can continue long into the
future! The marquee will sit in the grounds of the hotel until the 6 Nations
finishes in mid-March.
The penultimate weekend in February saw the guys back at a
familiar venue, Best Western Philipburn Country House Hotel for a wedding after
a year away from the venue. The tunnelling linking the marquee to the house and
the interior looked stunning and brought a really intimate feeling to the
marquee.
The final weekend in February saw the rearranged Jedforest Point to
Point event from January arranged at Friarshaugh near Kelso. This sporting
event has also been a regular event on Best Intent’s calendar and long may this
successful relationship with the local hunt organisations continue.
Looking to the month ahead there are another two Point to
Point Events at Friarshaugh for Berwickshire Hunt and Buccleuch Hunt. There are
also the final repairs getting made by the guys before April arrives with 7s
seasons the beginning of 5 months of mayhem!!
