Behind the scenes - How we create bespoke marquee weddings the Peacock and Bow way

Planning a wedding is no walk in the parkland of a country estate and when it comes to bespoke marquee weddings, every detail matters. At Peacock and Bow, we specialise in transforming your home and garden into the ultimate luxury venue. Here’s an exclusive behind the scenes look at how we create stunning pole and canvas marquee weddings that are as unique as the couples we work with.

Personalised consultation

Every Peacock and Bow wedding begins with a good old chat to discuss your vision and explore how a marquee can enhance your day. We'll then pop along to your property or desired marquee site to understand the space.


Expect to spill the tea on;

  • How you want your guests to experience the space

  • The mood or theme you're hoping to create

  • The features of your home and garden or the site that you’d like to showcase


Designing the perfect layout

Next, we design a marquee layout that makes the most of your space and ensures the day flows beautifully. Every detail is considered:

We also pay just as much attention to the surrounding outdoor spaces and make sure they work seamlessly with the marquee, incorporating garden paths, fire pits, seating or photo backdrops to tie everything together.



Luxury marquees by a British artisan maker

Our marquees are crafted by Wills Marquees, a traditional UK artisan manufacturer with decades of experience. Known for their exquisite craftsmanship, their pole and canvas marquees are the epitome of luxury and charm. The classic wooden poles, natural canvas and attention to detail create a structure that feels timeless yet sophisticated.


By working with Wills Marquees, we ensure your marquee isn’t just a venue—it’s a statement piece that reflects British heritage and quality.

Selecting the marquee features

Here’s where we begin to bring your vision to life. We work with you to customise every element of your marquee:

  • Marquee accessories - From stunning flower rings to funky disco balls, reveal curtains or giant shepherds crooks, we can do it all

  • Lighting - Fairy lights, chandeliers, festoon lights, or contemporary projections, our lighting designs set the mood

  • Flooring - Choose rustic coir matting or luxurious carpets to complete the look.

  • All-weather options: Discreet heating, cooling systems, and clear wall panels to prepare for all seasons without compromising the view


Styling and décor

With the marquee ready, it’s time to add the finishing touches. We collaborate with top florists and stylists to ensure every detail is perfect:

  • Floral arrangements that bring your theme to life

  • Stunning table settings with premium linens and tableware

  • Bespoke décor, from custom signage to personal touches like a signature bar or unique photo wall


Our aim is to create a space where every detail reflects your personal style.
