  • WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...

    Hi Toni, We’ve returned from honeymoon and wanted to just say how truly grateful I was that you were involved in our day. You and the team made it so effortless, I didn’t need to worry or stress on the day as you were all over it. Everything went seamlessly and we’ve had so many comments on how professional you were, and also how gorgeous it looked! You were so helpful from day one answering my silly questions and nothing was too much of an ask. You really put me at ease. The tables looked so elegant and you took what we’d talked about and made it look amazing so thank you! I cannot rave about how good you were enough, so thank you for the hard work and dedication you put into the day. We appreciated it a lot!

WEDDING DAY SET UP

Adding the finishing touches

Silk Estate will arrive early morning, to beautifully style your wedding marquee, and carefully set the tables exactly as you hoped and imagined. Every accessory in place, tables perfectly set; linen, centrepieces, cutlery, glassware, place cards. We’re also experts at tying chair sashes… No detail is too small – we thrive on it!

One of the huge advantages of the Silk Estate team taking care of this for you, is the time you’ll save, and probably how much stress you’ll avoid. For you, the morning of the wedding day should be about excitement and anticipation – not organising your reception venue. To ensure the best possible experience on your wedding day, Silk Estate highly recommends leaving the final marquee dressing and table setting, until the morning of the wedding (we’ll explain further, in our consultation with you). We look forward to those magical moments when you and your guests see the glorious transformation for the first time…

It’s why we love what we do!

FULL PROFESSIONAL BAR SERVICE

Having Silk Estate’s trained, attentive bar staff looking after your guests, gives you more time together, enjoying your very special celebration.
This optional service for your Marquee Wedding reception can include:

• Serving guests before and during the reception
• Clearing glasses and tables
• Re-filling water carafes
• Sorting and recycling bottles
• Overseeing the Supper Table

We’ll also look after your guests’ comfort and safety, by monitoring heating and ventilation. Silk Estate enjoys seeing guests having a wonderful time, and we fully expect the odd broken glass or two. With our bar staff on hand, spills and breakages can quickly be attended to. At the end of the evening, if you chose to use the marquee the next day, our bar staff can clear and clean the tables and fully refresh the marquee for your guests to simply walk into. Imagine the relief of knowing you won’t have to do this, after such a busy, exciting day! Clients have found Silk Estate’s bar service leads to less wastage, and we have a modern mobile Chiller Trailer for hire (with lighting), to easily transport, store and chill liquid refreshments.

SETTING THE MOOD FOR A GREAT NIGHT

On dusk, sparkling twinkles of light sets the mood for a great night both in and outside your marquee… not to mention our relaxed style pallet furniture which creates lovely breakout spaces for guests to gather and chat, back from the dance floor where all the action unfolds.  Large urns filled with gorgeous flowers or topiaries can frame the head table or entrance ways nicely, grand chandeliers (Crystal and Deer Antler) and the many other lighting options including the very popular Festoon, are simply glorious too.

Visit our showroom and we can share the many different styling options with you personally.
