We have long embraced the needs and aspirations of You, our customer. Which, when added to our broad experience of events, has armed us with the kind of knowledge that will ensure the day you imagined is the day you get. We're marquee hire specialists. And we've been supplying tents for every occasion throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire since 2001.
Over the course of this time the essence of the marquee's use has remained remarkably constant - a canvas for important, frequently extraordinary, occasions, from weddings and summer balls to corporate events, funerals, religious festivals, birthday celebrations and garden parties. And everything in-between.

Services
Founded in 2001 by Kevin Moore, after 8yrs in the Royal Signals Regiment, the company was set up with a clear aim - to put our clients firmly at the heart of the process. Each event is placed in the safe hands of our project manager, who will work with you to ensure all your needs are met. The project is then executed by our time served marquee riggers and, where necessary, industry specialists.
With something in the region of 1000 years (minor exaggeration) of marquee and event experience - you can be sure you're in safe and knowledgeable hands when Kevin is on the case. And he always is. With no visible off button - whenever you're shaping up your event, not only can you draw upon the best advice, but you can do so 24/7.
Weddings and civil partnerships are worth celebrating with a uniqueness, style and glamour few, if any, other days in life will be afforded. And they have to be perfect. However, spectacular celebrations aren't simply pulled, like a rabbit from a hat - they are created. And the creative process often throws up 1000-and-1 tasks that require your love and attention.
Making sure your event is one that lingers long in the memory (for all the right reasons) is no simple matter, they are not simply plucked from the shelf, fully formed and radiant. Getting it right involves a combination of vision, planning and execution. And it can be equally exciting and nerve-wrecking.
From relaxed retirement parties to intimate 21st birthdays, we have successfully worked on informal events right across the board. Developing themes that are as diverse as the people we're lucky enough to work with. And it's always a collaborative process. Something we are both comfortable with, and enjoy.

We used First Choice Marquee hire for our wedding which was the best decision for our venue we could have made. The whole team were so professional, easy to get in touch with and made everything totally stress… free. Everything was tailored to exactly what we wanted and within our budget, Kevin as a point of contact was amazing. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a marquee! Thanks to all the First Choice team for helping make it a perfect day :)

Very helpful company to deal with - I initially rang for prices on marquee hire - but then had a change of plan and decided to use a barn instead. The team at First Choice suggested items that we might like to hire .... they were all spot on and delivered and collected as promised.
Would definitely recommend them in future !

Used First Choice Event Hire for the chairs at our daughters wedding at Rudding Park, Harrogate. The service was excellent, including really friendly telephone conversations nearer the date of the event to enable numbers to be more specific. Even so, extra chairs were brought to the event just in case, a lovely touch. We searched a number of Hire… companies and First Choice were the best price for the chairs and the chairs were immaculately clean. I would highly recommend. There was no hassle involved at all, which is exactly what you want when you’re arranging a wedding!

Kevin & his team were superb, really attentive to detail and consulted us about every aspect of our requirements. The marquee worked extremely well for our party and was the perfect way to extend the space under cover - though thankfully the weather was quite kind to us. The festoon lighting around the garden was fab too! Highly recommended :-)
