Visit US siteI just wanted to say how fantastic your tipi were at our wedding. They helped make a special day magical.
Zarah and Joel
On a mountain in upstate New York on his birthday, Matt got down on bended knee and popped the question…
Our search for the perfect venue was on. We found breathtaking views, beautiful secluded spots and open meadows – but nothing to reflect us and the things we love. Then we found the tipis. Before we knew it, our wedding day was upon us and, finally, our friends and family had their first glimpse of our tipis. Since then, our stunning tipis have created the perfect place to celebrate, party, learn and be wowed.

Meet the Family
Niamh is the quiet one with the big ideas. Whilst she is now working as a nurse for the NHS, Niamh is still very much at the centre of the business, driving it forwards with new ideas.
Matt is full time within the business and takes on many roles, from being the information guru on all things event structures to providing on site mentorship during the build process. When in the office, Matt can be found preparing for future events, nurturing new ideas or finding/designing new and exciting structures to bring to the UK market.
Ian has varied roles as Office/Accounts Manager and IT specialist; these include communicating with customers, organising invoices, and ensuring the office/team in general runs seamlessly. Not to forget the odd run to a venue to help with finishing touches! In his spare time, Ian loves playing football and being Uncle Ian to Matt and Niamh’s children.
Extended Family
Hannah is the person you’ll likely talk to during the planning process of your event. Passionate about all things events, Hannah will listen to your ideas and then work with you to create a venue bespoke to your requirements.
Elinor is the person behind the logistics of each job and you’ll likely speak to her when you’re discussing build days, access or anything health and safety related. Elinor will work with you to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible in the build stage of your event.
Steve works alongside Elinor in the logistical aspects of each event ensuring everything runs smoothly on site. Overseeing builds, Steve provides mentorship and keeps up the morale of the build team during our very busy peak seasons!

Our Tipis
Our tents are based on the traditional tipis of the Sami people of Lapland. Combining both modern and traditional techniques and materials, the tipis can withstand anything the good old British weather can throw at them, while keeping guests dry and warm inside. The unique design of our tipis allows you to take full advantage of your surroundings by giving you the freedom to design your own layout, floor-plan and positioning of windows and entrances, bespoke to your setting. For those enjoying a winter event, the tipis will create that perfect cosy winter atmosphere with crackling fires and twinkling fairy lights.
Keeping it Green
Event in a Tent aim to keep everything as green as possible, from the construction of the tipis to the day-to-day running of the company. We are currently working towards becoming a carbon neutral company.
Thanks again for making it such a fab day, even in the rain!

A huge thank you for making our dream wedding come true!
We had a great wedding and the tipi was fantastic!
Loved the tents and we all think there is nothing like it!
The Team, Service and the Tipis were all exceptional, making for a truly remarkable and special wedding!
The tipi’s were perfect, every one loved them & we achieved the cozy atmosphere we were looking for.
Lovely Company! Excellent customer service from you during the pre event planning
Our wedding was held in the tipi and it was magical
Couldn’t have asked for better service! From start to finish, all my queries were answered quickly and professionally by a really friendly team of people. The guys that came to put the tipi’s up did a sterling job in some truly awful weather conditions, and didn’t complain once. They couldn’t do enough to make sure we were happy with the end product, and definitely went the extra mile helping out where they really weren’t obliged. The tipi’s looked absolutely fantastic – our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without them, or the help of the Event in a Tent team! Can’t recommend them enough!
The whole experience exceeded our expectations, the tipis were amazing and the service provided by the team setting up was excellent.
Our guests, most of whom were expecting a standard, and what we now consider boring, marque were totally in awe of the tipis and have not stopped talking about them since
