The Ultimate Wedding Showstopper: The Wills 18
It’s been a little over a year since our introduction to the latest addition of the Wills Marquees family. Fresh out of the workshop, the magnificent 18m structure was a mere newborn at this point and built only in it’s smallest (yet still incredibly awe-inspiring) form.
Since then, the Wills 18 has gained popularity and intrigue within the wedding world and has already stood at the heart of multiple weddings.
For those dreaming of a big guest list paired with premium aesthetics, the Wills 18m mega-marquee is an undeniable showstopper. Combining elegance with industry leading engineering, this marquee is more than just a temporary structure—it’s an event centerpiece that embodies versatility, style, and innovation.

A Design That Redefines Marquees
A true masterpiece built with Wills Marquees’ signature design details, it blends traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering to create a timeless and stylish celebration space.
The size can accomodate larger guest numbers effortlessly while maintaining an intimate and inviting ambiance. Undoubtedly a Wills Marquees in design, it’s elevated canopy, natural textures, and real sense of grandeur enhances any celebration.

Elevated Elegance: A Level Playing Field
One of the marquee’s standout features is its ability to adapt to challenging terrains, thanks to it’s additional flooring solution – the Wills Platform. This ingenious design feature not only levels uneven ground but also creates a premium interior finish that feels seamless underfoot. The elevated platform offers more than just practicality—it frames picturesque views, turning natural landscapes into the perfect backdrop for the celebration.
This feature came into its own at a luxury lakeside wedding we hosted as a collaboration alongside Wills Marquees last September. The sloping terrain surrounding the lake would have been a challenge for many venues, but the Wills Marquees team’s expertise transformed it into a stunning, functional space. With the marquee perched gracefully on the elevated platform, guests were treated to breathtaking views of the water and the beautiful landscape of the estate beyond.

A Perfect Setting for Luxury Weddings
The versatility of the Wills 18 makes it an ideal choice for couples looking to create bespoke wedding experiences. Whether it’s a lakeside celebration, a countryside wedding or an estate garden party, this marquee adapts to its environment, offering a blank canvas for design and styling. Its spacious interior can accommodate everything from a large dining area to a bar and dance floor area, lounge spaces and staged entertainment. With our bespoke made Reveal curtains, areas of the marquee can be sectioned off to create a sense of intimacy in one place, then opened-up to offer a large airy interior for guests to move freely within.
The plans for the Cheshire lakeside marquee wedding last September were nothing short of luxurious; the marquee was styled with soft lighting by Lightech, elegant and statement floral arrangements that really made the most of the elevation and space by Red Floral Architecture, and natural accents to complement the serene outdoor setting. As the sun set over the lake, the marquee glowed warmly, creating a magical atmosphere that will be remembered for years to come.
