We advise on tipi and marquee hire for summer weddings throughout Gloucestershire and Wiltshire

Not only do tipis look magical as an option for a wedding venue, but they also provide a flexible and comfortable space, and a blank canvas to elaborate on any theme. The team at Buffalo Tipi not only builds, furnishes and heats the structures it hires, but it also inspires couples with creative ideas and detailed floor plans to show the various options available. 

The modern canvas material used allows many tipis to be linked together, shaped to suit each celebration, and furniture includes handmade trestle tables and oak chandeliers. They can be modified in the event of bad weather, making them a great choice for weddings in all seasons. We love the option of having raised sides for summer events, zip doors and the tipi poles decorated with foliage and fairylights.

The tipis aren't licensed for civil ceremonies. Instead, they host the wedding breakfast and reception. They can be arranged to cover any number of guests, but three or four tipis will typically seat between 120 and 150 guests.

Spaceintense provides marquees for weddings throughout Gloucestershire. The company specialises in designing layouts, installing the tents and dressing the structures to suit each couple's theme.  We love that the marquees can be decorated with glass lanterns that look so effective glowing at night.

Its latest developments include a 70ft traditional canvas big top and a canvas marquee made to a Victorian design to complement Spaceintense's existing range of traditional marquees.

In addition to this, there's also a range of accessories, including furniture with seating, wide trestle tables with cross-back chairs and different varieties of flooring, plus a curtain can be drawn inside the marquee to reveal a nightclub later on in the evening.

The marquees are not licensed for civil ceremonies but are the ideal choice for a wedding breakfast or a reception. These can be for up to 300 guests although the average size of a wedding the company supplies is between 120 and 160 guests.
