We used Special Event Tipis for our big day, it was the most amazing venue totally personalised for us and exactly what we wanted.
The weather can change quickly in the Lake District and special event tipis were on hand to change our layout last minute when the weather decided to change its mind, I was so grateful for this and the quick set up by the professional team meant we had more time than we had initially planned to get our decorations in order.
We 1000% made the right decision to have a tipi wedding and this company met all of our requirements. The fact that the venue was made for us in our chosen location and enjoyed for a full weekend with our post wedding BBQ made it not just a day to remember, but a whole weekend full of amazing memories!
Thank you to Kate for being available throughout the full 12 months, from meeting you at your open day, right through to our wedding date, for answering all of my text & call queries without hesitation. Thank you to Dave & the team for the quick & efficient set up and last minute changes that you were happy to come back to the site to alter for us, to ensure we had the best weekend possible in the typical British summer weather. It really was so special and we wouldn’t change a thing!

We just wanted to send you a message to say the biggest thank you ever.
Words can’t describe how happy we were with everything you, Dav, and your staff done for us in the weeks/days leading up to the big day.
The Main Tipi was stunning. All the guests loved it and couldn’t speak highly enough of it. It was perfect.
Your communication has been fantastic. All the emails, all the times you had to change the quotes and re-send it straight away etc… It’s all very much appreciated and noticed.
Also Dav, for the way he got the ceremony tipi sorted so quickly when we needed it because of the rain! He also threw in some extras in the main tipi which was very kind.
I’m sure you’ll pass on our thanks to him.
Ian, an absolute pleasure he was. Couldn’t do enough for us and a great asset to your team.
Can’t thank you all at Special Event enough for what you done for our big day. I wish you all every success in the future and I’m sure yous will smash it!

When planning our Wedding Day, both of us agreed straight away that we wanted Tipi’s. Special Event Tipi’s were recommended to us by the venue we were using for the reception. We went to an open day near Carlisle, shortly after we got engaged to see the Tipi’s and were absolutely blown away by what we saw, our hearts were set, and minds were made up. Kate and Dave were both there on the open day and extremely helpful, showing us around the structures and going through all the different features and furniture they have to put in them. One feature, was the clear panel sides, due to the back drop of our wedding, we thought that the clear panels were a must have feature for our guests to take in the magnificent view. However, due to the wedding being such a long time from the open day, and not knowing what the weather would be like on the Wedding Day, we were apprehensive to commit to putting them on our order form. Kate, instantly made us feel at ease and let us decide the week before the wedding whether we required them or not, this was also the case for the fire pit. We paid a deposit soon after the open day and kept in touch with Kate leading up to the wedding, Kate was always happy to help and answer any questions which we had. We had agreed a set up day of the Wednesday before the wedding (the wedding on Saturday) a team of around 8-10 people came, they were all very polite and helpful, a shout out has to go to the lads who put the Tipi’s up, the temperature was scorching, but they put an almighty shift in and in just 8 hours the Tipi’s were up. Having 2 clear days before the wedding gave us plenty of time to dress them and make them as we wanted for our big day. At the end of the set-up day, Dave showed us around the tipis, explained the electrics and how to use the lights. The tipi’s came down on the Monday after wedding, in just as efficient manner as they went up. As we have mentioned both Kate and Dave were brilliant throughout the whole process, if you are looking for something quirky, that isn’t a marquee, but a structure that is simply magical, then we cannot recommend Special Event Tipis enough.

I couldn’t recommend Dave, Kate and the whole Special Events Tipis team more wholeheartedly. They saved the day when our previous marquee company went under and we are so glad we found them – they were brilliantly can-do and made the whole process feel seamless!
From start to finish they were such a delight to work with – full of great ideas and advice and extremely responsive to emails/calls, they never made us feel like “just another client”, and they were endlessly patient with my indecisive layout changing! The set up/take down team were also brilliant – super efficient and lovely, and took real care to protect the lawn and the garden they were setting up in.
The tipis and their contents were absolutely beautiful and provided an amazing backdrop to the day.
If you’re looking for tipis for your wedding/party, we couldn’t recommend Special Events enough.

Special Event Tipis were amazing! Kate was so helpful when it came to helping me bring my vision to life throughout the planning process. The result on my wedding day was better than I could ever have imagined – it really looked magical. The team setting up the tipi were great, they were super friendly and hard working, I didn’t have to do anything! From start to finish, this was absolutely 5 star service.

Special Event Tipis were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish of planning our wedding. Kate was always quick to respond and provided guidance on how to make the day the best it could be. Installation of the tipis was fast but all to a very high standard. Our guests absolutely loved the tipis and they really enhanced the day for us. Would thoroughly recommend!

We planned a destination wedding for our couple in Scotland and had the absolute pleasure of working with Special Event Tipis. Kate and team were incredible to work with and ensured that no detail was missed. The team went above and beyond to help us plan this wedding from afar. When we arrived onsite, everything was set up according to plan, allowing us to focus on other wedding details. We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with Special Event Tipis and highly recommend. We cannot wait for the next opportunity to work together!

Special Event Tipis was a fantastic wedding supplier to work with from start to finish. We organised our wedding from New Zealand (without ever seeing the venue!) and Kate’s knowledge of our Silverholme, her ideas for how our tipi could look and function, and how she and her team connected with our other suppliers to help us make the day run smoothly was really appreciated. The team who installed the tipi were very friendly and efficient, and we were so happy with how the tipi looked on the day. Thanks Kate and team! xx
