15 Reasons to Choose a Tipi Wedding for Your Outdoor Celebration

Eeek, so you’re newly engaged and looking at the endless options ahead of you of how you could choose to celebrate your special day. Let’s face it, you’ve possibly been to a number of weddings already, or even got a diary of weddings of friends coming up. But you just know that what you want to create is different from them. You want a day that is filled with fun, laughter and of course your favourite people. At the end of the day, you want everyone leaving having not only the best time but also saying “that was the best wedding they’d ever been to”. That my friend is what a Tipi wedding will evoke in you and your guests.

Even at this point, when you are unsure what it is all about – and if you mention to a family member that you are considering a tipi wedding. They assume you mean a tent in a field – well yes ok that kind of simplifies exactly what this is, but I promise it is so much more than that.

We’ve put together this ultimate list of reasons to have a Tipi Wedding.

1. Ultimate Outdoor Vibes

There really is something very magical about being surrounded by the outdoors and nature. The Tipis help to blend that indoor outdoor vibe. Where your guests can enjoy the outdoor space and stunning scenery, whilst having the warm embrace that the Tipis give you when you are inside. These bad boys will be whispering to your guests, come on it, you’re in for a real treat!

2. A Blank Canvas for your Vision

Tipi weddings are a stylist’s dream. If you’re a creative person, you can unleash your inner creativity on to the tipis. There are no corporate red carpets or banqueting chairs! You’ve the freedom to add in your own personal style “call it your own brand even” where you can inject your own personality in to the space. The Tipis can do so much of the talking, with all of the twinkly fairy lights, so you can do as much or as little as you choose – they will always look incredible.

3. Embrace the Quirky Factor

A Tipi isn’t your typical everyday wedding venue. It’s unique, quirky, and sure to make your wedding stand out. If you want your day to feel different from all the others, a Tipi Wedding is the perfect way to add the “WOW” factor.

4. Weather? No Problem!

A little rain never hurt anyone, and with a Tipi you don’t have to worry about the classic British Weather ruining your day. Our Tipis are designed to withstand the elements, so whether it’s blazing sun, drizzle or even snow, your wedding goes ahead in style. We’ll always work with you to plan for all eventualities from rain to wind to the blazing hot days we can also experience, so you’ll be comfortable knowing that you’ve got your plan A, B & C already sorted.

5. Flexible Space

The Tipis provide you with a really flexible space. Do you want a cosy, intimate space? Or planning a massive shindig? The Tipis link together to create the perfect layout for your guests and activities. We’ll always work with you to understand what you want from your day, so we can recommend the perfect number of Tipis and layout for you.

6. Festival Feel

If you are dreaming of a festival-style wedding a Tipi wedding underpins that free spirit vibe. Think live music, food trucks and dancing under the fairy lit canvas without the mud bath of a festival!

7. Cosy Fire Pits

The Tipis are made of a naturally flame retardant fabric and have an internal smoke cap which leads it self to have one of the Tipi open fire places in the centre of your Tipi. Image at night as the light changes, your fairy lights really take hold and the fire pit gets lit. It is the honey pot of guests catching up and talking around the fire bit. It creates the ultimate cosy atmosphere whilst being a stunning focal point.

8. Day to Night Transformation

This is one of the our favourite things about the Tipis. The transformation from Daytime to Nightime. It feels like you have two very different venue spaces. As the night falls, the fairy lights take hold, where you may have seen them in the day – now you really notice them. It is like the Tipis come to life, they are there for the party! There really is something very magical about the Tipis, and at night you cannot help but party and have the best time ever.

9. Picture Perfect

Your photographer will love you for choosing a Tipi Wedding – if they don’t like photographing Tipis they are not the photographer for you! With the natural soft light to the gorgeous surroundings, your wedding photos will be as unique as your day.

10. Location Freedom

Choosing to have a Tipi Wedding, means you do not have the restrictions of a traditional venue. We’ve set the Tipis up in picturesque fields, from sporting grounds to the family garden. Our advice is to pick a location that means the most to you and we’ll make it happen.

11. All Season

A Tipi wedding isn’t just for Summer. Whether you’re planning an autumn celebration or your own winter wonderland. The Tipis create a magical atmosphere in any season. During the cooler months, heaters can be added along with wooden doors and of course, you have the choice to add in the cosy fire pit too.

12. It’s all about the Personal Touch

A Tipi wedding is as personal as it gets. You’re not tied to any particular decor or schedule, so you can design your day to reflect your own personalities and what’s most important to you. You can literally throw the rule book out of the window, leaving any traditions out that do not reflect what you want to create. No First Dance, no problem, No Cake Cutting, no problem, No formal sit down, no problem. This really is personal to the two of you.

13. Stand Out Guest Experience

Your guests will be raving about your Tipi Wedding for years to come. It is a different experience from the standard hotel or barn wedding and the novelty alone will have them talking. PLUS, the laid back atmosphere makes it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy the celebration.

14. Local Suppliers, Endless Possibilities

This is a massive one for me! When you choose to marry this way you will be supporting local suppliers – the small businesses that live all around your local area. From the local catereres, florist, Tipi supplier to the bar company. You’ll build your personal dream team whist supporting lots of small local businesses. Win Win.

15. Unforgettable Memories

Most importantly, your Tipi Wedding will be unforgettable, not just for you, but your guests. You’ll look back on the day (and want to do it all over again) and remember the fun and uniqueness of everything that you created.
