We hired Special event tipis for our wedding in September, and working with them has been an absolute joy. When we moved our wedding due to covid, Kate was so supportive and made everything as easy as possible for us. We went to several open days and was so impressed at the beauty of the tipis that we knew we’d made the right choice. We even picked up some tips and tricks like making our own napkins from muslin! We had some horrible weather in the lead up to the day, but the team set up the tipi with no fuss and helped us along the way with making sure that the tipi was in the best place possible. They also kept my dad occupied as we wondered around being impressed! Thank you all so much, it was absolutely perfect. Alice and Dan xxx

Testimonials
Our testimonials offer a closer look at how our tipis and sailcloth marquees work in practice, and what it’s like to plan an event with us.
Each one reflects a different experience, from the early stages of planning through to the day itself, and the role we play along the way.
If you’re starting to think about your own event, we’d love to hear about your plans.

Wanted to send a quick email to just say an absolutely massive THANK YOU! I honestly can’t tell you how amazed we were with the set up and every little detail it was just beyond amazing. Your husband was just so lovely and helpful and I couldn’t be more thankful to have found you guys and had you there. (We saw someone did tipis the day after us at the barn and it was nowhere near as amazing). Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how amazing and special it looked it was just PERFECTION!

Well what can we say!! We have had the most incredible weekend celebrating our wedding with all our nearest and dearest. Being able to have one of your tipi’s in my brothers garden made it even more special, it was such a unique wedding and the tipi, in all its glory made it what it was. We don’t have enough words to say how amazing your company have been and how easy you have all been to deal with throughout the whole process of visiting, booking, erection and dismantle. Your team are Fab.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Special Event Tipis are a fantastic company. We started our journey with them back in 2020. They supported us through a postponement during 2020 and provided us with an incredible venue for our day in 2021. I cannot recommend them enough. Their approach was relaxed and friendly throughout and the finished tipis were utterly perfect. They truly care about helping to create your day.

Absolutely Outstanding – the tipi’s are amazing and of the highest quality and finish. The extras they offer make the whole thing work perfectly, and the people involved are without exception top class. I have worked in the tented event world for many years but these guys are a class apart. If we ever have another event like our wedding we’ll be straight on the phone to them again. Thanks to all of them for making the day so special and so very reasonably priced!

I couldn’t recommend Special Event Tipis enough! We used Kate and her team for our wedding in August 2021 and from the moment we started communication I knew we wanted them to be part of our day. Although thorough and professional, the service was relaxed- no stress or pressure whatsoever! We were able to go and see the tipis set up whenever we wanted and adapt our equipment needs when we needed. Even through the pandemic they offered complete reassurance. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. From the first tipi visit to the day before the wedding when we discovered we needed an additional piece of equipment, and a member of the team drove down to deliver, the service was amazing and all of the team so helpful. Thanks for helping make our day the massive party we wanted!

These guys are amazing, they make the whole process so easy with the friendly communication and understandable breakdown of costs. You can add or take away from your quote at anytime, it so flexible. The tipis themselves are beautiful and well worth the money, the installation team are brilliant to work with and super quick.

5 star review all round, from the initial booking processes to the installation and removal of the tipi. Everything was super easy and stress free! The Tipi itself was incredible and even better than we had imagined it would be. Can’t recommend Special Event Tipis anymore!
