Q What is your advice on taking the first steps in wedding planning?
A Caz Champman says: A tipi wedding is a fun experience for couples and guests alike. If this is your vibe, when you start planning, find a location that allows tipis and can accommodate their size. It's also useful to consider the access, power supply and availability of toilets, although we can organise these for you. Have an idea of budget, and particularly the amount of guests, as this allows us to work out how many hats you'll need.

Research tipi companies and find one that's reputable and that you get on with. They'll be on hand throughout your entire planning process. Book a site visit so you can meet the team building your tipis and discuss layout, access and so on.

Then, start thinking about your theme and all the smaller details. Consider your furniture options and how you want your day to flow, as well as the catering and whether this affects your choice of furniture and layout. The tipis are fabulous lit up with fairylights and festoons, and do lend themselves to being a really flexible wedding venue.

If you're celebrating your big day in the slightly colder months we can add heaters, firepits and throws to add to the atmosphere and keep you all warm. We can fully enclose the tipis in the winter too, so they're versatile all year round.
