Tipis provide an exceptional combination of indoor comfort and outdoor charm, assuring a cosy feel and weather-resistant ambiance for your wedding celebrations. Their versatility caters to any event size, allowing Tipis to connect and accommodate over 600 guests or create an intimate setting for smaller celebrations. With the flexibility to lift sides for an open sheltered space, one Tipi suits small weddings or casual gatherings effortlessly. Doubling the space with two Tipis allows for dancing, a cozy lounge, or a rustic bar area. The stunning tan canvas and wooden pole structures harmoniously complement any environment, enriched further by rustic furniture, woven flooring, and fire pits, evoking a relaxed atmosphere. For larger wedding parties with over 200 seated guests, linking three to five Tipis in varied layouts unleashes boundless creativity. These adaptable spaces offer a natural backdrop, enabling diverse wedding themes, unrestricted by the constraints of fixed venue decor. Customise your Tipi experience to create a wedding setting uniquely tailored to you.
