“From the moment I met Mark, I had absolute confidence that he would be able to bring to life the vision we had for our wedding. His enthusiasm and capacity for ideas are superb and made everything so much more that we thought possible.

Mark, Adam and the team worked incredibly hard in quite windy and wet conditions to complete the build without once losing that enthusiasm. They even adopted our dog as site mascot which made him very happy.

We’ve had so many compliments about the quality and ambience that the marquee gave to the wedding and we can’t thank Abacus enough for its efforts – thank you so much, guys! There’s more tea waiting whenever you want to pop in!”  Wedding in Chalfont St Giles

Esther Nye

“Abacus Marquee is a very good company to deal with. The people are accommodating, respectful of your property, and their delivery and collection as arranged is on time. Most importantly, they phone and let you know when they are on their way and the expected time of arrival. The attention to detail is excellent and the cost of the marquee is fair. I would certainly use them again if I decide to have another event.”  Wedding Anniversary in North London

Kaye & Mick Oyston

“Excellent service from start to finish. We had a difficult garden with a step up so didn’t think it would be easy to get a marquee in our garden. A solution was found and the marquee looked great. Just what we needed for a party of 85 guests! We ordered a last minute heater as the weather wasn’t great, which was brought round very quickly. I would definitely recommend Abacus for the service, staff and they do everything they promise on the website. Our party was a great success thanks to the Abacus team. A big thank you from Mick and Kate.”  50th Birthday Party in Baldock

Frances Philpotts

“Dear Abacus Team

I want to thank you very much for the efficient and no problem erecting and dismantling of the marquee.

We would definitely recommend your team again to family and friends.

Thank you once again.”

“Oh What A Night! 50th party in my garden with Marquee provided by Abacus (Party in My Garden). The Marquee looked stunning with ivory drapes, twinkling fairy and disco lights. We danced the night away and were soon able to turn off the internal heaters (as turned out to be a cold bank holiday!) Really good service from Abacus from the booking, delivery and taking down of the Marquee. Definitely a night to remember.” 50th Birthday Party in Winchmore Hill

They stand out compared to so many other companies in that they seem to really enjoy what they do and care about the customer. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience with events.

Great value for money – would highly recommend. A1 Service”  (April 2018)

Krish & Chloe Varma

“Cannot write enough praise for Abacus Marquee & Events!! Made our wedding the perfect day & night! They catered for our every need for the most important day in our lives. They provided 3 perfect sized marquees for our needs. Literally everything went by without a hitch. The dance floor, tables, chairs, decorations, filming, tv screens, waiting staff, glass hire, ice & a chiller trailer. All the staff were happy to help & provide solutions for every issue my new wife could throw at them! The team were friendly, approachable, understanding, knowledgable, reasonable and punctual.

Will definitely be using them for our next event! A*” Wedding in Letchworth

“We used Abacus Marquee Hire last year for our neighbours significant birthday event. The team were super helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks so much to Mark and the team for making a great event so special for everyone involved. Most importantly for removing all the stress! Cheers!

An edit – we used the guys again on the 15th June for our wedding based on our previous experience and could not be happier. The build was huge and complex. From walkways to reveal curtains, luxury loos and catering tents. The team were super helpful, worked incredibly hard and produced a space that was perfect for our day. We had numerous comments about how wonderful it looked and how well put together it was.

Thank you so much guys, you made our day work brilliantly!”  Wedding in Chalfont St Giles

“Thank you to Mark and his team. Our event went very smoothly and the marquee was perfect.

“Well, I cannot recommend these lovely people enough! From them pulling out all stops as I booked last minute to keeping in contact with me every step along the way., to putting my marquee up with a laugh and a joke and then to taking it down in much the same way!
Thank you so much” . 21st Birthday Party in Stevenage

“Used Abacus for some pre Wedding events at home, and went for a 6m x 9m marquee with roof lining and LED uplighters. Fantastic service from start to finish! Mark and Adam were very helpful with suggestions when quoting and the setup/take-down team were excellent. Marquee looked awesome!

Would highly recommend these guys!

“We hired Abacus Marquee’s to create a football colour theme for my little boy’s holy communion. I can’t stress enough how good these guys are from the 1st phone call to the dismantling and the end everything run as smooth as clockwork.

They go above and beyond to make it happen even last minute “oopsss” I think I need second marquee phone call the week before the event they pulled it off. the whole team have been a pleasure to deal with and work with.

And the event itself is one that will be remembered for years to come. I actually can’t wait to get the chance to use these guys again the bar a fridge wear a top hit with our guest along with the paper lanterns that just set the right theme and the colour uplighter’s which you can change to suit your mood, no damage to our grass either which is a bonus considering it was up for 6 nights.

I honestly can’t thank use enough well done Mark & well done to the guys in pink hope to come across use all again in future service excellent.”

A MASSIVE THANKS GOES TO MARK AND HIS TEAM AT ABACUS…

My daughter, Lucy and her friends had an amazing time celebrating her 18th birthday party and a big part of the success goes to Mark and Abacus so thank you!

Lucy was recommended to Mark from a previous party he had done. She got in touch with Mark and he spoke to her about some ideas to present to her. He sent her a quote with three packages and we were impressed with how it was laid out.

He came over for a site visit and explained in more detail what he had planned and from the get go he gave us all the confidence we needed. I’ve never hired a marquee before and I had my doubts whether it would work. Mark provided almost everything that was needed to make her birthday party a huge hit.

He explained clearly where everything would go inside the marquee, offered advice the location of the tent and always had our interests of our event before his own.

Lucy wanted a nightclub experience and thats exactly what Abacus provided. The black lining with lighting in the ceiling, huge dance floor, bar & the lovely bar staff too. The LED cube seats were a huge hit and looked great at night! I was amazed at the extent at what was available the list is endless and glad we stopped when we did at choosing options.

I was pleased when it came to the set up that Mark was actually part of the installation team. They came to install the marquee a day before the event and were all polite, courteous and friendly and had it all set up by mid afternoon.

The event itself went without a hitch and Abacus provided an event videographer too and Lucy’s eager to see the footage! Lots of her friends were amazed with the marquee and am sure they’d like something similar for their birthday too.

The team came on the Tuesday to dismantle everything and left the garden just as they found it.

The whole process of hiring the marquee wasn’t as stressful as anticipated and I will happily recommend Abacus to my friends & family as they made planning an event easy. Thanks Mark & team.

“Absolutely recommend Abacus Marquee very friendly. My party would have been a washout super quick at putting up the marquee. I will be using them again next for another surprise party ” Surprise 30th Birthday in Letchworth

Yuval Lagne

“We contacted Abacus regarding a party at our garden for 35 friends. It was immediately evident that they were experts and that we were in good hands – so much so, that I didn’t bother comparing prices. The assembly day went without a hitch and on the day all the guests were impressed with the professional setup. The following day the guys came and disassembled the marquee while we were at work, again, no problem there.

Overall I’m very pleased with our choice of provider, the marquee and it was an extra bonus that we could hire glasses, plates and a bar fridge through the same company.   Highly recommended.”  Family Party in Bushey

Ramona

“Huge thanks to the Abacus guys. They all showed an enormous amount of professionalism and enthusiasm in working to make our party great.

Highly recommended! Thanks guys!”  Bat mitzvah in Elstree
