We’re thrilled to unveil The Nimbus Pod — our brand-new luxury gazebo or pergola, designed especially for smaller gatherings and intimate dinner parties. This elegant, versatile structure brings all the style and presence of a large marquee into a more compact form, creating a magical space without overwhelming your site.
Why The Nimbus Pod is the Perfect Choice for Smaller Events
While many of our marquee options shine on grand scales, there’s something profoundly beautiful about a well-designed, intimate structure. The Nimbus Pod is built to deliver that blend of luxury, atmosphere, and practicality. Here’s what makes it stand out:
-
Compact yet spacious footprint. The Nimbus Pod offers a footprint of approximately 6.2 m diameter, providing about 27 m² of covered area. It strikes a balance between having enough space for a refined dining or lounge layout without feeling cavernous or underutilised.
-
Quick and efficient setup. This structure can be erected by a small crew, in minimal time, making it ideal for variable schedules or tighter turnaround windows.
-
Elegant clear sidewalls. One of the signature features is the option to fit clear (transparent) sidewalls. These allow you to:
• Bring in natural light
• Showcase surrounding views of gardens or landscapes
• Maintain a sense of openness, even when weather or wind requires closure -
Premium, breathable canvas fabric. The Nimbus Pod’s fabric is a canvas blend — flame-retardant, waterproofed, and breathable. It’s engineered for durability, UV protection, and comfort.
-
A strong architectural presence. With a peak height of about 4.8 m (15.7 ft), The Nimbus Pod offers dramatic internal height that helps avoid any sense of cramped space. It feels elegant without overwhelming.
-
Versatility in styling. Because of its shape and internal proportions, The Nimbus Pod lends itself beautifully to a wide variety of interior treatments — from minimal modern elegance to lush romantic draping, intimate lighting, or botanical decor.
Ideal Use Cases: When The Nimbus Pod Shines
Here are some event ideas and setups where The Nimbus Pod is particularly well suited:
-
Luxury dinner parties: Imagine a table with guests seated under a glowing canopy. The clear sides allow you to enjoy garden views or evening light without exposing guests to wind or drizzle.
-
Exclusive cocktail receptions: Use the marquee as a lounge or reception space, with cocktail tables, low seating, and ambient lighting. It encourages mingling while offering a sense of enclosure and comfort.
-
Intimate celebrations: Think milestone birthdays, small wedding receptions, engagement dinners, or anniversary celebrations — where the guest list is under 25 people. The Nimbus Pod gives you a “wow” structure without overcommitting in scale.
-
Garden gazebos or pop-up dining extensions: Use it as a high-end gazebo for al fresco dining in your garden.
What Your Guests Will Love
-
Light-filled ambiance all day. With clear panels or open sides, guests can enjoy daylight and evening views; at night, soft internal lighting will glow beautifully through the structure.
-
Comfort in all weathers. The canvas is waterproof and breathable. With optional walls, you can guard against wind or light rain while preserving style.
-
An unforgettable impression. Though modest in size, The Nimbus Pod has bold lines, clean geometry, and a distinctive silhouette — it becomes a memorable focal point in any setting.
-
Flexibility in layout. You can arrange seating, dance area, lounge, or mix them, within the same footprint, without feeling cramped or rigid.
Tips for Making the Most of The Nimbus Pod
-
Lighting is key. Use festoons and fairy lights to accentuate the shape of the canopy and highlight the interior.
-
Transparent walls as mood creators. In early evening, roll up or open sides; later, drop in clear walls and keep the view while protecting comfort.
-
Landscaping integration. Position the marquee near garden features (trees, water, greenery) so guests feel connected to the outdoors through the clear panels.
-
Coordinate style and scale. For a guest list approaching 25–30, keep furniture elegant and streamlined; avoid bulky additions that could crowd the space.
-
Accent fabrics and textures. Use soft linens, sheer drapery, florals, and natural materials to balance the structural lines and enhance the sense of luxury.
Why We Added The Nimbus Pod to Our Fleet
We’ve long been committed to offering marquee options that suit weddings, corporate events, galas, and large-scale productions. But we also saw demand for something truly special and refined for smaller gatherings — where the experience matters more than scale. The Nimbus Pod fills that gap.
When guests enter — whether for an evening dinner, intimate celebration, or fine dining experience in the outdoors — we want them to feel enveloped in elegance. It’s a showcase of what happens when structural design meets event artistry.
