  • We used Shipsey's for our wedding and they were absolutely great! A family run company: Tim and Vicki really went the extra mile to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for our big day; we could not be more grateful.

    Hattie

  • We loved working with Shipseys and would strongly recommend them! We rented a large marquee plus catering marquee, as well as a refrigerated van, stage, dancefloor, tables, chairs, barrels, and more from them. They were very accommodating, gave us lots of support with our decisions, and were a big help on the day itself. Thanks to the whole team! It was really a joy working with you all.

    James and Aron

  • HUGE thanks to you and all the team at Shipseys. You were completely on top of the changes of scenery, timing, moving everything as needed, thank you so much. And such a pleasure to work with a happy motivated team, makes us think already about planning the next occasion!

    Robin

  • Thank you for everything you did to make Conor and Emma's wedding so perfect. The whole experience from start to finish was first class, your staff are incredible. We can't praise enough! The day went off so wonderfully and your massive efforts played a huge part.

    Alison and Ido

  • We have worked with Shipseys for many years because, in our eyes, they are simply the best at what they do. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the ideas they bring to life for our events are second to none. We first approached Shipseys because of their ability to activate locally. Now with our national clients, they are always so impressed, not only with the Marquees or equipment provided but also with the professionalism, efficiency and care given.

    Ross | Roam Catering Ltd

  • It has been a pleasure to have worked with Shipseys over the past 15 or so years. You get a great personal and friendly service that you wouldn't expect from a big corporate. Nothing is too much trouble and as a customer you are always made to feel important and valued. Shipseys are very professional in what they do and you can always rely on them to provide what has been requested and agreed upon professionally.

    Jason | The Three Lions

  • As a charity who has had a long association with Shipseys the committee members over the years have had a wonderful relationship with the team. Nothing is too much when planning months in advance and during the marquees being set up and coming down. We look forward to many more years working together

    Wylye Valley Disabled Children’s Charity

  • We have been working with Shipsey’s for the last 4 years and have always found the team to be professional, friendly, and helpful offering great advice on sizing, set up and wet weather contingencies. They are quick to set up and clear down and nothing is ever too much trouble. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shipsey’s to anyone planning a wedding or corporate event. Excellent service. Thank you.

    Riverside Salisbury

  • Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust has worked with Shipseys Marquees for the past five years to support several large-scale events for the hospital. Tim and the team go above and beyond - they are on site well in advance, remain in constant communication and are always professional, reliable, and friendly. Nothing is ever too much trouble, even when unexpected challenges arise. We continue to work with them year after year because their support and dedication remain unmatched.

  • Downton Cuckoo Fair have been hiring Shipsey’s marquees for over twenty years. Their marquees are sturdy, well-constructed and stable in all weather conditions. The team who erect them are professional, courteous and always leave the site looking spotless. The back office team provide excellent pre-sales support and have a wealth of experience that the Fair benefits from. They also cope well with our many last-minute changes – nothing is too difficult for them. I think if asked they could erect a marquee on the top of Snowdon!

  • The annual Whiteparish Band's Night and Fete have hired the marquees for our events from Shipsey's for many years. Tim and his team have always provided us with excellent, timely and helpful service to make our events run smoothly. Thank you to everyone at Shipseys.
