Tipi Wedding Hire Midlands
Dear Soon To Be Newly-Weds,
Are you afraid that your wedding will be just a blueprint of all your friends weddings?
Worried that no one will remember it a year down the road? Or worse, that something dreadful will happen and that will be the only reason people remember it?
You don’t want your once in a lifetime wedding ruined by a low quality, unsafe and unattractive looking tipi that leaves your guests feeling cold, miserable and secretly wishing it was an indoor event.
The last thing you want is the embarrassment of seeing your closest family and friends not enjoying themselves as much as you’d hoped. Or even worse, going home early and missing the dancing because the venue’s a big disappointment.
When it comes to picturing your perfect wedding venue, it’s the complete opposite of this…
The perfect wedding venue to you is a high quality, beautifully crafted and impressive venue, which will not only ‘wow’ your guests when they first see it, but it will keep them warm, comfortable and happy throughout the whole day.
Party in style under the atmospheric canvas, with lots of twinkly fairy lights, dance floor with dazzling disco ball and a real flame fire pit to toast your marshmallows.
And the best part is, unlike hotel function rooms where you have to decorate around corporate looking furniture and decor that’s already there, our tipis offer a completely blank canvas to personalise exactly how you want it.
You can really let your personality shine and bring your bespoke tipi wedding to life.
And thanks to the meticulous planning of your dedicated event team, you will have everything setup, exactly as you imagined without any dashing around and panicking at the last minute to do it yourself.
You’ll be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the ambiance with a glass of champagne on your special day.
If that sounds good, you’ll want to keep reading and here’s why…

But this isn’t about us, it’s about you and your perfect tipi wedding day.

Tipi Wedding FAQs
When planning an outdoor wedding or celebration the one thing we get asked over and over again is what if it rains? We have got this covered in this blog post which is jam-packed full of all the information you will need to know. https://www.samitipi.co.uk/what-if-it-rains/
Our tipi flooring is a woven matting called Dandy Dura, this is laid over a waterproof protective membrane. The matting is high heel proof, so you and your guests will be fine in heels whilst in the tipis. There is inevitably going to be a time when you will have to walk over the grass, whether this is to pop to the toilet or to just enjoy the outside space, this when highest of heels will be a little difficult.
Our Tip is to let your guests know you are having an outdoor wedding, they do not need to know that it is in a tipi that can remain a surprise. By providing them enough information, they will be a little more informed on what to wear, including footwear.
We have a selection of beautiful venues across the Midlands that can provide the perfect setting for our tipis. We have sites in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands. We are able to travel up to an hour and a half from our location in Swarkestone, Derby. This means we are only ever 90 minutes away from you and your venue if we are needed. Alternatively, if you have your own site already or if you are looking to have your celebration in your own garden space, this is possible too. We are always happy to visit new sites and discuss the options with you. Start your free quote to discover if we can cater to your location.
If your location is new to us, we will need to conduct a site visit. Here’s how the process works:
Virtual Site Visit:
– Initially, we will work with you to look at the site and review its feasibility through a virtual site visit conducted together on Zoom.
– During this session, we will assess key aspects such as site access, and space to ensure it meets the requirements for your chosen tipi set up.
Physical Site Visit:
– Based on the findings from the virtual site visit, if a physical site visit is required we’ll book this in. Not every site will require a physical site visit.
– One of our expert installers will visit the location to conduct a thorough inspection and finalise the setup plan.
The Tipi build as a rule for a Saturday wedding, will either be the Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. We will always pre-agree this with you.
The take down will be on the Sunday afternoon or Monday.
