Tipi's, Clear Marquees, Sperry Tents and Alfresco

Someone has dropped a knee and popped the question and you’ve said yes. Now you want to hold your wedding day but you don’t know where to look to book your venue.

If you’re lucky enough to have a bit of space on the farm or a section or a venue with a bit of a clearing, here’s a list of some great alternatives to creating your own unique wedding venue. From unique looking Tipi Tents, to clear marquees to Sperry Tents, take a look at the options below.

Feel free to get in touch if you’re after more info and drop me a line at hello@davidle.co.nz

Tipi Tents | Topkata

Much of the unique character and charm of the TopKåta Tipi can be put down to the poles - natural, practical, environmentally friendly and truly beautiful.  Each pole is created from 100 year old, late-maturing, chemical-free Spruce sourced from sustainable forests in Sweden.  The cold causes these trees to grow very slowly, producing exceptionally strong timber.  The TopKåta Tipi canvas are custom made, lightweight, waterproof and wind resistant, offering sustainable, eco-friendly solution to the PVC normally used in marquee structures.

Sperry Tents | Flagship Events

These are classic handmade ivory coloured sailcloth and Spruce pole tents that require no lining or frilly detailing.

The natural colour of the sailcloth reflects a warm and embracing light viewed from both inside and out. The high sides which can be covered or left open as required, provide for perfect sightlines and extended views whether standing or seated within the tent.
