My Tipi Event
Darren Smith
“My children and my family are in love
with all things festival – we camp a lot,
we love the great outdoors. Three years
ago we discovered Nordic tipis purely by
accident on line and I decided to start
this company, although I had no previous
experience with any events industry, or
weddings.
It was only meant to be a part-time gig,
six months in summer – I already had a
retail business – but it’s blown us away.
We’ve done 50 weddings in 6 months and
it’s still increasing, but we are not going to
let it grow too much, because we want to
keep the personal touch. I’m at every set
up and every take down.
The people who book our tipis have a
sense of adventure and don’t want to be
pocketed into a formal wedding, they want
something quirky and versatile, that can be
pitched anywhere.
We offer our ‘Giant Hats’ which are
the really big tipis and smaller chill-out
tents, plus catering tents. To help our
clients plan what they want, we just need
to know how many seated guests you are
going to have and how many in total, but
a rough guide is that for every 100 people
you will need two Giant Hats.
The smaller chill-out tents have low
wooden tables, Moroccan pouffes and an
open fire pit. We supply an abundance
of giant marshmallows. They are a break
away from the noise and hysteria, it’s a
zone. We also have a wood-fired pizza
oven in a little hat tipi with fairy lights,
that’s very popular.
We say, let your imagination run wild.
We can create a traditional vibe with
round tables and lime-washed Chiavari
chairs, or festival route with rustic trestle
tables and benches. You can use all your
own suppliers for all the details, or we
have a Little Black Book on the website,
with all of our friends who, DJs, florists,
caterers and cake makers.”
