Marquees / Tipis Tips

Check your space: Have a look at our website for some to-scale floorplans to get an idea of what you can fit in, and how much space you will have to dance and mingle

Book early: To nab your first choice of venue/supplier (and to lock in lower prices or discounts), earlier is better. Try for 18 months in advance where possible

Consider power: To run your lights, music, etc you will need to make sure you have enough power. Extension leads may be enough if you are close to the mains, but most clients require a generator

Try not to do it all! Everyone wants the perfect day, and often delegation is hard but with a lot of work and organization comes a lot of stress. This is your day, you're only job is to enjoy it!

Make it as unique as you are! Find suppliers that will make your day 1-of-a-kind.

The wedding is yours, make it that way!!

Take time on the day to take it all in as a couple. Find some time to spend a few moments for just the 2 of you together.

Have a plan but don't sweat the small stuff.

Set your budget from the beginning.

Find the wedding suppliers who get you and your vision for your wedding.

Delegate tasks to reduce stress. By sharing the workload, you'll have more time to enjoy your day and focus on what truly matters.

Plan Ahead: Start early to secure your preferred suppliers & dates. This reduces stress and allows time for adjustments. Create a detailed checklist and timeline to ensure nothing is overlooked.

There are many options of structures to choose from, not all marquees are the same. Talk through what your theme will be and find the structure that's right for you and your wedding.

Budget Wisely: Set a realistic budget and prioritise spending on essential elements like tipis & photography. Research costs and consider DIY options where feasible.

Remember if your venue location doesn't supply power, water and toilets be sure to remember to include these in your budget.

Use trusted suppliers with high quality equipment

Enjoying your event is the most important!
