- Situated on the outskirts of Thurlestone village, its not difficult to see why Bantham Bash is one of the areas most amazing wedding venues. The hill top marquee site has spectacular views out to sea towards Burgh Island and beyond - a spectacular back drop to your wedding day. - The Bantham Bash field is large and open with a level area where the marquee is situated. The marquees are supplied by Hatch Marquee Hire, who manage the site on behalf of the landowner. It is a venue which is completely adaptable to your needs with immense scope to create a very personal and unique day. - There is a large range of marquee equipment and stylish furnishings to choose from whether you favour rustic charm or a sleek contemporary feel. A marquee incorporating clear windows and some clear roofs is a great choice - giving you & your guests an uninterrupted vista of rolling hills, beaches and sea. A perfect combination! - One of the advantages of choosing a marquee wedding venue is that you get to make all the decisions and when it comes to caterers you won't be disappointed. Food is a big part of most wedding days and in the South Hams there is a fantastic choice of outdoor caterers, who use local produce and suppliers to create the most amazing food from hog roasts to exquisite fine dining. - Bantham Bash really does have it all - amazing views, space and flexibility, stylish and elegant marquees and the complete freedom to make your day your own.

an absolute pleasure

I just wanted to say what an absolute pleasure working with Hatch has been! From the very first contact to working through the iterations to the service in adjusting things last minute it has been superb! Everyone said how wonderful the marquee set up was and the band said the acoustics were excellent. It was an amazing weekend - thank you again and we will recommend Hatch to everyone!

Our wedding was a fairy-tale come true

To ALL at Hatch Marquee, Oh my goodness, our wedding was a fairy-tale come true, absolutely amazing! Connor and I are still in disbelief at how perfectly everything went, can't believe it was a week ago! We just had to reach out and say a huge thank you to you and your team for all of your incredible efforts. The marquee was seriously impressive - we've never seen anything like it! Your team was so professional and paid such close attention to every little detail.

Jon and the team at Hatch are amazing

Jon and the team at Hatch are amazing. They provided the marque for our wedding in June 2021. From the beginning of the process they were professional and easy to deal with. They were accommodating to all of our changes and delays as a result of COVID. The marquee they provided was perfect and made a great venue for our wedding. The marquee itself and all of the extras were of really high quality. We loved being able to make the space unique to us with thousands of fairy lights, the rustic tables and bar. Would highly recommend for any event!

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone

Thank you so much for all your hard work arranging and erecting the marquee for our wedding. The marquee was beautiful once up and decorated and we can not fault your service. All the staff we met wer efficient and friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone else looking for a marquee wedding. Nothing was too much trouble for the guys on the day, who put it up and we are so grateful that they put up our bunting for us too!

'It literally ROCKED'

Just a note to say thank you so much for the amazing marquee you did for us. We had so many compliments on how it was and the layout worked the best; keeping the dance floor and bar together certainly made for the most amazing evening party - it literally ROCKED! You and your team are so professional, thank you once again.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Bantham Bash?

I don't think we have an absolute favourite as they are all so unique and special. Marquees are great as you can really make it your own. We had one wedding where the groom, family and friends were all great cricket fans so they had a match on the site in the afternoon - it looked a lot of fun!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Enjoy the planning. You only get to do this once, so remember to have some fun.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

There have been plenty but we always love it when a bride and groom bring a bit of themselves to their day. Whether that is a surfboard table plan, a table decoration made from copper pipe (groom was a plumber!), or bicycle wheels suspended from the marquee roof which had been dressed with floristry (they looked amazing!). We love it all!
