Special Event Tipis was established in 2011 after our own tipi tent wedding. After seven years together, David proposed to Kate at the top of Machu Picchu whilst back packing around South America.
With bases in both Cumbria and Newcastle, we are perfectly situated to assist with tipi and sailcloth tent hire across Cumbria & Lake District, Northumberland, Lancashire, North Yorkshire, Scotland and the Scottish Borders.
The tipis were the perfect solution for our big day and provided us with a perfect outdoor wedding venue. It truly was the best day of our lives and we have now helped over 1600 clients plan their perfect Special Event, whether it be a wedding, festival style party, corporate event or event furniture hire
As our business has grown, we have introduced beautiful sailcloth and traditional pole marquees to our hire stock. Our experience, our service, a different style of tent!
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss having tipis or sailcloth marquees for your own event!
Our Tipi and marquee business has very much became a family affair and alongside our dog Truffle, our children George and Ted are very much part of the team!
We are very lucky to have long standing crew chiefs and crew members who are not only experienced in tipi and marquee installations but have a clear understanding of what is needed to ensure a successful event.
We absolutely pride ourselves on providing excellent levels of customer service. We regularly organise Zoom calls and chat to clients on a friendly and informal level – we are genuinely interested in your event plans and love new ideas!
Here at Special Event Tipis & Marquees, we really do love our jobs! Working in the weddings and events industry is a privilege and we never forget that we are playing a vital part in every single Special Event we are part of!
