has over 20 year’s experience in the events industry and is sure to make sure that your special day is just as you imagined, she will be there on the day to ensure all the suppliers and guests know what, when and where they should be, so that the day moves smoothly and on time! She can also style and dress your teepee with her team of stylist who transform the space in no time to the magical space you envisaged!

Here are some of my top tips for a Teepee Wedding

1. The Venue – Whether it’s at home, in a field or at a wedding venue. Make sure that the land has good drainage and that the grass has been cut at least 4-5 times before installation begins. Make sure if you’re in a field that there are no divots in the ground from cattle, try to corner off an area to keep it free from cattle.

2. Heating – This is something I am always mentioning to clients. Heaters aren’t just for winter. Okay so you may not need them during the day but when the sun drops so does the temperature! It would be a shame for everyone to be making an early dart because they’re cold, so keep the party going and hire a heater or 2.

3. Weather – The one thing we wish we could plan! However, the best thing to do and this goes for every couple on their wedding day, whether it be an indoor venue or outdoor one, is to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. This way you have options and back up plans. We can provide you with a contingency plan for rain, wind and extreme heat. We have a weather kit which provides you with a sheltered entrance into the teepee whilst the PVC clear panel allow natural light inside too, so you can enjoy the atmosphere under canvas!

4. Photographer/ Videographer – Don’t overlook this element, we can recommend some fabulous photographers and videographers who we have worked with in the past.

Most suggest a contingency of between 12.5 and 15% of the overall wedding cost.

The average wedding in the UK now costs £30,355, which means a minimum contingency of £3,794. This is a significant amount to set aside.

We’d recommend saving as much extra money as you can and earmarking this as your contingency fund. Whatever you can put aside as a contingency fund, if you don’t use it, it’s extra money towards enjoying your honeymoon – or building your first home together.

How can we start building a contingency fund?

Even couples with a comfortable budget should consider building a contingency. If you can’t save any extra money by cutting back on your monthly outgoings, as many couples planning weddings cannot – saving your savings is an ideal way to boost your wedding budget and build a contingency fund. For every little discount you receive on a wedding-related service or product, put the amount you saved straight into a savings account. With some hard bargaining, you’ll find you’ll quickly accumulate a sizeable sum.

Those amazing memories can be relived through over and over again in different media! There is some real talent out there that will be sure to capture every element of your day and capture the funny moments you may not have even seen!

5. Entertainment – This could be for the adults or the children! Some ideas are; Bouncy Castle Rodeo Bull Mobile Crazy Golf Course Magician Silent Disco Saxophone Band DJ Face-paint or Glitter Paint Artist Garden Games – Giant Jenga, Sack Race, Connect Four etc. If you’re intrigued to find out more, then visit our website on www.teepeetenthire.com or contact us on 01254 208 166 and info@teepeetenthire. com
