We used Special Event Tipis & Marquees for our sailcloth wedding marquee in August this year, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Kate, David & the whole team did a great job making our dream wedding a reality. They spent time making sure that our dancefloor & tables were level (on very uneven ground), bars were in the right place, with a friendly team and good humour – we never felt stressed with the team onsite.Andy & Katie – beautiful sailcloth marquee wedding in south CumbriaThey were diligent throughout the lead up to the wedding, put on a great open day for us to see the marquee before the big day and worked to create a smooth put up and take down of the marquee. Great service and friendly family fund business.
Testimonials
July 2024
We would highly recommend Special Event Tipis to anyone looking for a Sailcloth Marquee or Tipi for a wedding or other event. They were brilliant to deal with and nothing was too much trouble for them. Communication was excellent prior to our wedding and they catered to our ever changing needs, right until the last minute!
The marquee itself looked amazing inside and out. We had lots of nice comments off our wedding guests who were blown away by the marquee.
Thank you Special Event Tipis for making our wedding venue amazing.

Having been to many events and seeing Special Events Tipis’ tents, there was no doubt in our minds who we would choose for our own wedding. From the day we booked, everything was amazing, communication was brilliant and informative, making it so easy and taking stress away when planning a wedding, all our guests said how beautiful the tipis were and we couldn’t agree more, thank you so much!
Andy & Kate – Lake District Wedding at Underley Grange
August 2024
Thank you Special Event Tipis and Marquees – our sailcloth marquee was just fabulous – we’ve had so many lovely comments about how pretty it looked on the day and so many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! It was just the best party and we’re still on a high about it now. From our initial enquiries right through to the big day, you were all so helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, professional and patient, especially with our many questions! You really helped guide us through the daunting process of planning a marquee wedding. We had to have a change of venue and you were very accommodating about this too. You were very responsive throughout and all in all a great company to deal with.

We wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for all of your help to make our wedding date so beautiful. Special thanks for the elegant yet resilient Tipi structure in the high winds over the weekend!
We had the most magical wedding day and everyone was very comfortable indeed in the tipis, which looked magical all through the day and evening.

I just wanted to thank you both so much, from start to finish it’s been such an enjoyable experience working with you and your team, from Kate and Amy in the office, to the install team who put up and dismantled the tent. Everyone has been so friendly and helpful throughout. The tipi was the star of the show and we loved it so much.

Justine and I just wanted to pass along a huge thank you to you and the team at Special Event Tipis. The marquee itself was beautiful, and the furnishings added a wonderful touch to it – we received many comments on how great everything looked. I also know that you guys had to bring down two tipis in case of high wind speeds, so we really appreciate that you went to that extra effort for us.

5 star in every way! We can not recommend Special Event Tipis more! From start to finish; from viewing the Tipis at the open day to answering all our queries, to our beautiful big day! Special Event Tipis provided the most beautiful back drop to our day! Kate and the team were so helpful and so experienced! We are so grateful!
Lucy & Dan – Lake District Tipi Wedding
June 23
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!
Danni & Jonny – Tipi Wedding at Threlkeld Cricket Club, Keswick
July 23
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!
