How Love Tipis Wedding Marquee Hire Works

Planning a wedding can be stressful, but we want to make our wedding tipi hire as simple as possible. Whether you have a private space in mind, or you’d like to choose one of our partner outdoor wedding venues in the South East, we’ll work with you to understand your needs and create a package that’s perfect for your special day.

We’ll meet with you at the venue beforehand to review the site and make use of our years of experience to make recommendations about where and how to set everything up. Once everything is agreed, we arrive 2-3 days before your wedding to build the structures, make any last tweaks and give you a handover. We’ll be back 2-3 days after the big day to take everything down.

So, if you’re getting married on a Saturday, we usually set up on the preceding Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and then take down the following Monday or Tuesday. These days will depend on the location and the number of builds we have that weekend. Some venues have particular days for set-ups and take-downs so if you have a specific or preferred day then we will always try to accommodate this. We strive to plan the build schedule well in advance and in close liaison with you throughout the journey.

FAQs

Marquee & Tipi Wedding FAQs

What type of wedding marquee do I need?

This is all down to personal preference, your chosen venue and your budget. However, we often recommend tipis as the best all-round choice.

If you’re not sure what sort of wedding marquee is best for you, we’re always happy to help. We can combine multiple tipis into one space for up to 600+ guests, or you can have separate reception, music and bar areas to create a festival feel. For smaller weddings, we can provide smaller structures to create more intimate spaces.

How much does it cost to hire a wedding marquee?

Our prices start from as little as £1,250 for a small tipi or £800 for a small stretch tent. However, we work with you to create a package that is perfect for your special day. Get in touch with us to find out more.

How do you plan a marquee wedding around the weather?

Even though the South East generally gets the best weather in the UK, we can’t guarantee it’ll be dry and sunny on your chosen day. However, our tipis and wedding structures provide great protection should the heavens open, as well as a nice shady spot if it’s a hot day.

Where can I source all of the extra furniture and facilities for my outdoor wedding?

We can help with everything you need for your outdoor wedding including tables, chairs, benches, chill-out seating areas, outside lighting, bars and oak barrel tables, fire pits, dance floors and disco balls. Check out our sister company Love Vintage Furniture for the full list of extras. For everything else, we have a tried, tested & trusted supplier list to cater to all of your needs. We can help with generators, luxury toilet facilities, florists, caterers, catering tents, mobile bars and more. Our friendly team can guide you through the whole process, or outsource it all to us as part of your wedding marquee package.

Julian
Catfest, 2023

“Thank you, LoveTipis, from the bottom of our hearts for the excellent service we've received from you for M&W's wedding. From first contact right through to the end, you have been amazing. You have been quick to respond to questions, contribute ideas (and tell us what we needed to know), and help with other providers such as generators, toilets, and chiller vans. Your tables, benches, chairs etc were all brilliant too.

I can't tell you how many people told us on Saturday how 'cool' the tipis were, and how lovely they looked in our setting. The dance floor stood up to the test of being full all night (even though I'd order a bigger one next time!) and we had everything we needed from you to make the wedding a huge success. I have 2 highlights: watching the canvas going up was phenomenal, but the twinkly fairy lights in the evening were literally breath taking.”

Julian Catfest, Festival Tent Hire

“Love Tipi's were truly exceptional in helping us achieve the festival wedding we'd waited so long to have!! We could not recommend them more – they were not only professional, but friendly, kind and very patient with us with last minute additions. The set up and take down teams were fantastic and the communication during the build up was brilliant. Wish we could give them more than 5 stars!”

Stephanie Lammers-Rice Festival Wedding

“We honestly cannot find the words to express how beautiful our wedding day was thanks to the team at LoveTipis. The communication beforehand was thorough and timely, and the team were so patient with our many and frequent changes to table types, numbers, or layouts! Nothing was ever too much trouble. On the build day, the team were so professional and friendly – it really was incredible to watch them construct the tipis and bring our plans to life in one day. As for the tipis themselves, they are just spectacular. All our guests commented on how gorgeous the setup was and how spacious it felt, despite the fact we had nearly 140 guests! If you are considering using LoveTipis for an event, just go for it. You absolutely won’t regret it.”

Emily Davitt Wedding Tipi Hire

“LoveTipis were amazing for our wedding. They were responsive in the months leading up to our wedding and on the day just got on with it and set up exactly how we had agreed. Not only were the tipis stunning but we also used their magnificent, 7 reclaimed wood 8-seater tables, as well as chairs, stage, dancefloor, fairy lights and uplighters. The catering tent was also spacious. LoveTipis also facilitated a nice outdoor toilet from a 3rd party without any problems whatsoever. ”

Alan Creswell Wedding Tipi Hire

“Stewart and his team set up 3 tipis for our wedding on Telscombe Tye. The team worked so hard to make our day perfect and were on hand 24 hours a day to help with any issues. The tipis looked amazing and stood up to the weather conditions we had the day before and after the wedding. Thank you for all your hard work to make our day so special.”
