PLANNING YOUR WEDDING OR EVENT WITHIN OUR TIPIS
​
Planning your Tipi wedding or event can seem like a daunting task at first. We’ve tried to simplify this and have put together a useful step-by-step guide below to help make your Tipi planning process as easy and as stress-free as possible.
​
We’re on hand throughout the whole planning process to answer as many questions as you have, no matter how silly or trivial they may seem. We fully understand that a lot of detail goes into planning a Tipi wedding or Tipi party, so we’re here as much as you need us.
​
If you think you may have other questions but not sure of them right now, you may find them answered in our;
​
WHERE TO START​​
​
​
GET IN TOUCH
Send us an email or give us a call to check we have availability on your date and we will tailor a bespoke Tipi quote to your specific needs. If you’re unsure of an exact date at this stage, don’t worry. There may even be certain dates or times of the year that we can offer you a better price, so be sure to get in touch. If you have a Tipi venue in mind then great – if not, we have several Tipi venues we can recommend to you. Once you are happy with the quote and want to secure the date, a non-refundable deposit of 25% is required.
​
​
​
SITE VISIT
We will then arrange a convenient time for us to come out and meet with you at your proposed Tipi site. Your Tipi site’s suitability will be checked and we will address any other issues that there may be. This will also give us a chance to talk through some of the more finer details with you and discuss your Tipi plans in a bit more detail. If you would like us to do this site visit before paying the 25% deposit, we will have to charge a fee for this service.​
​
​
FLOOR PLAN
If we haven’t already done so, we will then create a detailed Tipi floor plan based on your needs or, if you prefer, we can create several floor plans showing different options available to you. We can also offer suggestions and recommendations of other useful Tipi event suppliers if required.​
​
​
FINAL PAYMENT
Final payment is due one month before your Tipi event date. If your Tipi event is less than six weeks away at the time of booking, 100% payment is required.​
​
​
SET UP & TAKE DOWN
For Tipi hire on a Saturday, our crew will typically erect the Tipis on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and dismantle the Tipis on a Sunday or Monday. As we are a relatively small company (typically setting up Tipis for two or three events at the most on any given weekend), we can be flexible with your set-up and takedown days depending if you or your Tipi venue have any particular requirements or restrictions.
Before we leave your site, we will demonstrate how to tend fires (if applicable), work the lighting and tell you all you need to know about our equipment. We can also arrange for a member or our team to be present at your Tipi event, at an additional charge. A 24-hour emergency contact number will be given to you when we hand over the Tipis, just in case you need us and for peace of mind!
