Winter Wedding Marquees: Creating Warm, Magical Spaces for 2025/26

Frost on the ground, twinkling lights overhead, and the warmth of celebration filling the air — there’s something undeniably magical about a winter wedding.

While summer weddings often steal the spotlight, a winter celebration offers a distinctive charm — one that’s elegant, atmospheric, and rich with seasonal style. And with a beautifully appointed marquee, your winter wedding can be just as warm, inviting and unforgettable as any midsummer’s day.

At Four Seasons Marquees, we specialise in creating luxurious winter wedding venues from the ground up. From heating and lighting to flooring and décor, our team brings comfort, character and creativity to every canvas.

Why Choose a Marquee for Your Winter Wedding?

A marquee wedding in winter might seem unconventional — but that’s part of the appeal. It allows couples to design their ideal celebration space, without the constraints of fixed venues or summer availability.

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering on a family estate or a grand event in a countryside setting, a marquee offers:

  • Complete creative freedom
  • Flexibility of location
  • A unique setting that reflects your style and vision
  • The opportunity to host both ceremony and reception in one beautiful space

With modern technology and thoughtful planning, a winter marquee can be every bit as warm and inviting as an indoor venue — and often much more memorable.

Warming Up the Atmosphere: Heating and Insulation

Comfort is key to a successful winter wedding. Our marquees are equipped with efficient, reliable heating systems that ensure your guests stay warm from welcome drinks to the last dance.

We offer:

  • Thermostatically controlled heaters
  • Indirect heaters with ducted warm air
  • Insulated linings to help retain heat
  • Fully enclosed structures to prevent draughts

We’ll carry out a site visit to assess the best heating setup for your space, taking into account layout, guest numbers and the external environment.

Setting the Scene: Lighting & Interior Styling

Winter weddings are all about mood and magic — and nothing sets the tone like great lighting.

We help couples transform their marquee into a glowing sanctuary using a combination of:

  • Warm festoon lights
  • Soft uplighters and chandeliers
  • Fairy lights woven through drapes and beams
  • Realistic LED candles for romantic table lighting

Styling options are just as versatile. Think luxurious textures, rich colour palettes, evergreen foliage, and seasonal accents like pinecones, berries, or velvet runners. Whether you prefer rustic charm or elegant minimalism, our team will help you bring it all together.

Practical Elegance: Flooring and Covered Entrances

Winter weddings call for solid, dependable flooring — and we offer a range of options to suit your setting and style.

  • Hard flooring with optional carpeting for comfort and insulation
  • Wooden boarded floors for a rustic, barn-like feel
  • Elevated flooring for uneven or damp ground

We also create beautiful covered entrances and walkways to protect your guests from the elements and make a stunning first impression. From pagoda-style porches to fully enclosed linkways between structures, we ensure every arrival is smooth and sheltered.

A Real Winter Wedding Moment

In Hampshire last December, we worked with a couple who wanted a Christmas wedding that embraced the season in full. We installed a clearspan marquee on their family land, complete with solid flooring, draped ceiling linings, uplighting, and powerful heating.

The couple added evergreen garlands, hanging lanterns, a candlelit aisle, and even a hot chocolate bar. Outside, guests arrived via a covered walkway lined with fir trees and fairy lights. It was, in every sense, magical.

Plan Ahead for Winter 2025/26

Winter weddings are growing in popularity — which means early booking is essential. From marquee hire and styling to heating, lighting and site preparation, there are several moving parts to align.

We recommend starting the planning process at least 9–12 months in advance. Our team is happy to conduct site visits and provide guidance on layout, timeline, and trusted suppliers.

The sooner you begin, the more time you’ll have to personalise every detail — and secure your preferred date.
