What makes our tipi wedding venue different?

Our packages include the tipi, land hire fee plus boring (but important!) bits like luxury toilets, power and distribution. We will also run the bar for you and even have corkage free packages available.

What really makes us different is that with our venue, you also get on-the-day coordination and support from both an event coordinator and operations manager. Therefore, you can relax and be part of the party.

We will make sure that the drinks are ready, the food comes out on time, and the music starts when it should. Furthermore, we ensure any technical issues that may occur are dealt with immediately – so your wedding or event is remembered for all of the right reasons.

Can I bring my own suppliers to your tipi wedding venue?

Absolutely. All suppliers, including caterers, are completely up to you. Additionally, we can recommend some superb companies if you need some suggestions or inspiration for your wedding or event. We have worked with some amazing people who can undoubtedly add the wow-factor to your tipi wedding.

Do you charge corkage if we bring our own drinks to your?

We have different packages available (see info below) but some include a corkage-free option so you can bring your own drinks. We will even chill and serve them for you at no extra charge.
