RAJ Tent Club

What RAJ Tent Club does

RAJ Tent Club (Raj Tent Club Ltd) is a UK-based, privately held luxury event infrastructure company founded in 1997 by Nicky Marks and headquartered in London. The company specialises in Indian-style marquee and tent rental for weddings, corporate events, private celebrations and prestige venues, with a fleet ranging from intimate 10-guest configurations up to 36-metre Maharaja installations accommodating 720+ guests. Its core products are built from 100% cotton canvas using traditional craftsmanship combined with proprietary metal frame technology that enables installation on any surface — including rooftops, paved areas, and historic interiors — without ground penetration, weighted by stone bases instead of conventional pegging. The catalogue extends beyond tents to furniture (including the Lisa Vandy-designed Palm Springs Metal Collection), lighting, cushions, rugs, sunshades, parasols, accessories, props, walkway tents and clearspan linings, allowing the company to deliver a full single-source event setup with professional installation and dismantling.

The business operates on three revenue streams: (i) rental of tents, furniture and accessories on a quote-based model with a 25% deposit and balance due seven days before installation; (ii) outright tent sales with goods shipped from a UK warehouse or Indian factory against a 50% deposit; and (iii) an online retail shop for smaller decorative items with UK and international shipping. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales — quote-driven consultations via phone, email and website form — supported by content marketing (website galleries organised by event type, downloadable catalogues) and organic social (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest). Customer segments span Indian wedding clients (primary), corporate events, high-net-worth private celebrations and venue operators (hotels, palaces, museums) seeking seasonal capacity expansion. Geographic reach covers the UK, continental Europe (South of France, Italy) and New Zealand (Auckland).
