About us
At Deckerdence, we're not your typical venue.
We’re the lively heart of creativity, where celebrations come to life. We’re passionate about crafting unique moments for weddings, parties, and events that defy the ordinary. With our vintage double-deck bus and circular marquee, we’re here to turn your dreams into unforgettable realities. Join us in the pursuit of the extraordinary!
Unique Mobile Venue
In 1967, a Leyland PD2 double-deck bus, once a humble worker in the streets of Manchester, carrying people, she underwent a spectacular transformation. The lower deck became a traditional bar, while the upper deck turned into a lavish cocktail lounge. This marked the inception of Deckerdence.
What truly sets us apart is our bespoke, custom-made marquee that seamlessly attaches to the bus, creating a one-of-a-kind vintage venue.
Deckerdence is the perfect setting for weddings, parties, and events that defy convention. Nestled in the serene North Warwickshire countryside, our beautiful site can host your event. Or as a mobile venue, we’re not bound by location. We can bring Deckerdence to you, turning any space into a unique and unforgettable wedding, fabulous party or incredible event experience.
