2013 is shaping up to be a busy year for all involved with
Best Intent Marquees. We have formed a lot of new partnerships with venues for
the coming year as well as renewing some of our existing venue relationships.
To ensure our marquees are up to our immaculate standards we have had a
restoration of all our flooring and have invested in steel sub-base flooring
for our large framed marquees. There has also been an investment in glass
panelling for the framed marquee, including concertina style windows which can
be seen on our semi-permanent marquee at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. The traditional
poled marquees are not being left behind with a set of max clear PVC windows - a new product in the market place - being
purchased for this marquee.
The first marquees of the year will be going up at
Friarshaugh, Kelso, for the Jedforest Point to Point (PTP) on the 27th
of January. There are also another two PTP at this venue later on in the year
which we will be providing marquees for. Our preferred venues -which can be
found on our website - are busy all year round and in February and we have our
first weddings of the year at Greywalls in East Lothian and the PhilipburnCountry House Hotel in Selkirk.
As everyone knows the Spring time in the Borders is 7s
season and we are glad to renew our partnership with ‘Call the Bar’ to supply
the marquees for the 7s tournaments they are involved with throughout the
circuit.
Thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of new events manager
Louise Mitchell, Thirlestane Castle in Lauder has seen a revival and we are
grateful for everything she has done in getting Thirlestane back on the map of
wedding venues in the Borders. We also find ourselves back at familiar venues
this year providing marquees for weddings at Aikwood Tower, Kirknewton Stables,
Harmony House, Ravensheugh Log Cabins & Mellerstain House. We are also
providing a marquee for our first ever wedding at Ferniehirst Castle near
Jedburgh and look forward to working with our Buccleuch Estate venues at
Drumlanrig, Dalkeith House and Bowhill. In 2013 we are finding that we are
providing more marquees to the East Lothian, Perthshire and Northumberland
areas – and we are happy to travel further when required!!
2013 also sees some of our longest running partnerships
continue with our fifth year of supplying the marquees to the very successful
Borders Book Festival. We feel privileged to be associated with such a well-run
and highly respected event. We are also providing the marquee for St Mary’s School
prize giving ceremony for the fourth consecutive year and we are also delighted
to be involved in the inaugural Childrens Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) Borders
fund raising event in August- details will follow in due course. As the year is
drawing to a close we are also delighted to be involved with Lennoxlove BookFestival again which takes place on the first weekend in November and also has
a fantastic reputation, drawing in authors like JK Rowling last year.
There is still availability for marquees in 2013 so please
do not hesitate to get in contact with our team of dedicated event managers and
marquee specialists can help turn your dreams into reality! Call us on 0800
