Reception Marquee/Tipi Hire (Outside supplier):
We don’t own a marquee or tipi so this must ordered from an outside supplier.
You can choose any reputable company to supply your marquee but as a guide, the basic cost of a white Reception Marquee from our local provider, Best-in-Tents, with lining, flooring and lighting, is approx. £1,500 for 50 guests; £2,000 for 100 guests; £3,000 for 150 guests; £4,000 for 200 guests (But please contact them for up to date pricing). For much more, see our Preferred Suppliers page.
To the basic marquee you then add all the details you would like … dance floor, tables, linens, chairs, disco balls, flowers, Djs, live bands, caterers, lux loos, photo booths, photographers, cake etc. You pick what suits you best in terms of what you dreamt of having and what you feel comfortable spending, whilst we recommend people, there is no obligation to use them. Only the drinks packages are done directly through us.
Things to note:
The cost of hiring your Reception marquee, yurt or tent is not included in the Lynsted Park pricing but you have the freedom to choose exactly what you’d like, health and safety allowing, and we are more than happy to advise and offer help.
Most weddings at Lynsted Park take place May – October, at weekends and there is no extra charge for different times of the day, week or year.
Our licence runs until 11.30pm and guests need to have left by 12.00 – though licence extensions may be arranged.
You are most welcome to use Lynsted Park’s grounds just for your Reception. Costs for the Marquee placement in the parkland do not include the marquee itself. You then arrange, and we are delighted to help you, a marquee, yurt or tent of your choice up to a maximum of 200 guests; there are lots of ideas on our ‘preferred suppliers and ideas’. We run the Bar – see Bar for more details and drinks packages – but you are free to make everything else your own. Most of the ‘What’s included’, above, is valid for Reception Only too and the guide costs for the Best- in- Tents Marquee above, may also be of interest.
Priced per head: £20 (2022), £21 (2023) NO BOOKINGS BEING TAKEN BEYOND 7th JUNE 2023
