Last Orders!

If you’re in the party mood, this could be the blog for you!

We are often asked where is the social focal point of a wedding reception? Some say the dance floor – we think it’s the wedding bar. That’s why we have lots of options for serving those drinks!

But the ideas don’t stop at the bars we can provide, we have had loads of exciting and unique bars at our weddings and events in the past, so we wanted to put together a little blog with some of the coolest ideas for serving those drinks and we have no objections at all to hire your own bar structures in for your special event!

No matter whether you’re planning a staffed service, or a bring your own, self-serve drinks station, going down the DIY route or using a bar already at the venue, its always worth making an effort with your wedding bar décor.  This is going to be a hub for your guests in the sailcloth marquee or tipi tent and will be spending plenty of time – so they need to be able to enjoy their wedding cocktails in beautiful surroundings.

If you are planning on using a wedding florist, then having flowers on your bar, or around your bar that match your table decorations or table centrepieces is a great way to link your bar to the rest of your structure and are also a great way to decorate. We also have a range of lighting options which create a beautiful atmosphere for your bar, or perhaps you would like a bright neon sign to make it clear to your guests, they get served here!

Everything you need

Our fabulous range of bar structures available are:

Oak Bar (2m): £140.00 plus VAT

Half Round Bar: £350.00 plus VAT

Full Round Bar: £640.00 plus VAT

Bar Signage Options:

Bar Neon Sign: £100.00 plus VAT

Drinks Neon Sign: £150.00 plus VAT

We also have fairy light walls that look beautiful behind your bar, along with fairy lighting to wrap surrounding poles. You can decorate your bar with floral garlands.

Something Unique

There are so many ways to make a unique bar area and you are certainly not limited to the bar structures we provide. In the past, we have had homemade bars, crate bars, converted pianos, bathtubs and diggers as the bar and drinks areas in the tipis and sailcloth marquees!

Mobile Bars

Of course there is sometimes a limit to how much decorating you can do, so you could always look into hiring a mobile bar that comes with its own decorations and personality! Horse box bars and vintage caravans are perfect for our Tipi tents and Sailcloth Marquees to encourage your guests to enjoy the great outdoors!

(and yes, one of these bars is inside the tipis! So if the outdoors isn’t looking friendly for an outdoor bar, then bring the bar indoors!)

Tipi Tiki Bar?

Do you want to create a hub for your bar? We can help you there!

We have a special Kung Tipi Bar package, which is one of our smaller tipis including a full round bar and stools included along with a neon sign. This is a great addition to your Tipis or Sailcloth Marquee!

We also have our baby, Nimbus Tipi which is a fabulous undercover bar area or a welcome drinks area. Our Nimbus Tipi structure can be filled with any bar of your choosing!

If you want something a bit different and very pretty, why not enquire about our Naked Tipi! Not just for ceremonies, this structure comes with fairy lighting, so is already a twinkly space for your round bar.
