Don’t take our word for it, read one of our Real Wedding Testimonials

A massive thank you to you and all your team who made our wedding day so special. We were really impressed by your service. Loads of guests commented on how wonderful the tipi looked. I don’t think many of them had ever seen one before! We couldn’t have wished for a better service than the one we received from Special Event Tipis. The company was very helpful and supportive from the word go. Along with its trustworthy and hard-working crew, this made our wedding day, and the prep leading up to it, go really smoothly – thanks so much!

Testimonials from Real Weddings in Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cheshire

The tipis were magical – we hadn’t told many guests what to expect but it was just fantastic to see the looks on their faces during the drinks reception and gasps as people arrived. They created an amazing atmosphere which cannot be replicated with a marquee or hotel venue. David and the team were fantastic from initial enquiry to final clear up on the Sunday – its clear Special Event Tipis care and they deliver a really personalised service. Special Event Tipi’s furnishings are top quality and created a great space for our wedding. The tipis themselves are a blank canvas which you can let your creativity run loose on!

We both wanted to say a massive thank you for your help at our wedding. We loved the tipis so much and it was a real pleasure working with you. It really did make the day very special and everyone loved it!

Jonty & Noelle – Cheshire Tipi Wedding

 

We used Special Event Tipis & Marquees for our wedding. The company were fantastic from start to finish. We attended the show case events to start with which were a great opportunity to view the tipis and marquees available. We dealt with Amy mostly, but the whole team were brilliant, speedy responses. Nothing too much or a hinderance to them. The lads setting it up on the day were all lovely, hardworking and showed us the ropes!!

Everyone said how amazing the tipis were, they were just what we pictured. So glad we chose this company, would definitely recommend them.

Planning Your Yorkshire Tipi or Sailcloth Marquee Wedding: A Guide to Outdoor Elegance

Planning a Yorkshire tipi wedding or a Yorkshire sailcloth marquee wedding is all about blending natural beauty with personal style and with the right guidance, it can be as seamless as it is spectacular. Whether you’re considering tipi hire in Yorkshire for a rustic countryside celebration or marquee hire in Yorkshire for a more refined, open-air affair, here are some key steps to get you started:

Choose the Right Venue

From rolling farmland and private estates to stately homes and coastal retreats, Yorkshire offers a wealth of stunning locations. Look for venues with level ground, good access, and enough space for your chosen structure, whether that’s a Giant Hat Tipi or a sailcloth marquee reminiscent of Sperry tents.

Consider the Season

Spring and summer are popular for outdoor weddings, but autumn can be equally magical with warm tones and golden light. Our tipis and sailcloth marquees are designed to handle the elements, but it’s always wise to plan for comfort. Think heating, flooring, and cosy chill-out areas.

Design Your Layout

One of the joys of tipi hire in Yorkshire is the flexibility it offers. Create zones for dining, dancing, and relaxing. Sailcloth marquees, with their high peaks and clear sides, are perfect for showcasing Yorkshire’s scenic views while keeping guests sheltered.

Style with Purpose

Embrace the natural surroundings with botanical décor, festoon lighting, and seasonal florals. Whether you’re going for boho, classic elegance, or contemporary, both tipis and sailcloth tents provide a beautiful blank canvas.

Work with Local Suppliers

From caterers and florists to photographers and musicians, Yorkshire is home to a talented network of wedding professionals. We’re always happy to recommend trusted suppliers who understand the unique logistics of outdoor events.

Plan for Practicalities

Don’t forget the essentials—power, toilets, parking, and contingency plans for weather. Our team at Special Event Tipi & Marquees will guide you through every detail to ensure your day runs smoothly.
