How We Work
Because we believe in giving couples the flexibility to create their perfect day at our outdoor tipi wedding venues, we work slightly differently to many other venues.
Hopefully this page will clearly explain how we work but if you do want to discuss it or have any other questions, please call us on 07792 140311 or email hello@venueportfolio.co.uk.
Step 1 – Choose your preferred tipi wedding venue
Decide which one of our beautiful tipi wedding venues you prefer and contact us to check availability. Also, have a look and decide which of our packages works best for you. As an independent, family-run company, we can be flexible on packages so if you want to swap and change elements, get in touch and we can work out a bespoke price for you.
Step 2 – Come and have a look around
Whilst our tipi is not up all year round, we are happy to show you the space any time. We do also regularly host open weekends where you can see the tipis in all of their beauty. Please get in touch on hello@venueportfolio.co.uk or call Derek on 07792 140311 to arrange a convenient time.
Step 3 – Sign your contract and pay a deposit
Congratulations – your date is confirmed!
Step 4 – Choose your caterer
With us, you can bring your own choice of caterer so you can have whatever style of meal and cuisine that you want. Sit down meals, barbeques, hog roasts or pizzas all work brilliantly at our venues.
We have worked with lots of amazing caterers in the past, all of whom are experts at catering tipi wedding venues, so if you need any recommendations, let us know.
Step 5 – Stock the bar
You can save a huge amount of money by bringing your own drinks for the day. We offer corkage-free options in some of our packages and we will even chill and serve it for you.
Step 6 – Other Suppliers
Again, you are free to use your choice of suppliers in order to bring your wedding vision to reality. We can help with recommendations or ideas for all sorts of suppliers. Closer to the day we will get in touch with each of them to make sure that they have everything that they need to make your day perfect.
