Southern Events
Southern Events are a marquee one stop event shop based in Newick, East Sussex. We stock both Traditional and Clearspan marquees in a variety of sizes alongside Furniture, Generator and Toilet Hire. Making us the perfect all-round company. We are ideally situated to cover Sussex, Kent, and Surrey. If your looking for the best all round marquee this hands down is the clearpsan marquee.

This can be built on grass and hard-surface and can be linked together with other sized marquees to make the perfect tent for your space. With options for windows, roofs and linings, this is a brilliant choice for your event. Maybe your looking for something a little more rustic? Then maybe you should try our traditional marquee, with long wooden center poles and ropes around the tent, this is the perfect rustic centerpiece for your event.

We used Southern events for our wedding. They are responsive, organised and worked tirelessly to install the marquee, carpet, flooring etc. - really couldn't recommend them enough for a large event. They also recommended caterers and decoration hire companies who worked together with Southern events to make the setup for our wedding very smooth. Thank you Katie and the team!

You provided my marquee for my wedding on Saturday and I honestly cannot thank you enough! Was so beautifully done and nothing was too much trouble for the guys installing it!
Thank you so much

I used Southern Events to provide the catering for my wedding at high hurstwood village hall last month. I couldn't recomend them more highly. They decorated the hall beautifully the night before and cleared rverything away early on Sunday morning. Katie and her staff were fantastic on the day serving food and ensuring everyone was thoroughly enjoying the occasion. The food from the canapes to the wedding breakfast and evening snacks was delicious and plentiful. Thank you for helping make my wedding so special and run so smoothly.

I have never nor will ever find a events company who are so accommodating and flexible at such fantastic rates!
Hannah Hill the wedding coordinator, is so well versed in all of their products and helped advise us on our size of marquees, guest numbers and layout of our venue.
The communication up to the day was reliable and so helpful with times… and names of staff communicated.
The on site team on our day did so much more than they'd originally said might be possible, pulling out all of the stops to make our day so special!
I will certainly use this company again and have been recommending

Really disappointed with this company. Phoned on Monday to see whether I could get some chairs hired for the following Saturday. They said to put the request through their site, which I did via the 'contact us' pages. I had a confirmation email saying my email had been received and would be replied to shortly. By Wednesday I had heard nothing… so emailed them directly. Still nothing. I've today (Friday 3pm) attempted to call their landline and mobile - I left a message on the landline (as no option to leave a message on the mobile) asking them to urgently get back to me.
As it stands, I

Paul and Helen have both been amazing to work with - from the first enquiry right through to the marquee coming down, the service has been perfect! As has the marquee - everything we wanted and more! We hosted 13 weddings in the marquee and it was just stunning! Thanks again guys!! From everyone at Spring Cottage!

Helen, Paul and the guys were really helpful and set the marquee up far enough in advance for us to decorate without any time pressure. How the marquee looked on the day exceeded all my expectations, and will be using again.

Do not hesitate to contact Whiting Marquees for any event that you are thinking of holding. They did the most amazing job for us in 2015 for a charity ball that we held at Lindfield Golf Club. The end result was absolutely fantastic and all of our guests were so impressed. Helen & Paul went out of their way to help us - I contacted quite a few marquee companies and they far outshone all of the competition in terms of price, what they had to offer and general responsiveness. Lovely people to deal with too!
