Anna Sent on 08/09/2026Big thanks to Ella and team for a particularly hard set up!
I got married on the 5th September and can’t thank Ella enough! The weather wasn’t in our favour leading up to the wedding and Ella pulled out all the stops to get everything ready for our big day. This including being on site at 0600 on the day of our wedding to make sure everything was in place. Thanks for making sure our day was special! -

We booked The Star & Canvas for tipi hire for our wedding in June this year and couldn't fault the service we received. We immediately got the best vibe from Ella, and knew she was perfect supplier for us. She helped us figure out what we needed but also what we would need from other suppliers! Ella came and did a site visit 18 months before the wedding and helped us figure out where the tipi would go. She also advised us on what we would need to do to help prep for the tipi once it was installed.
When it came to set up week, we have never seen such hard workers. Ella and her team went above and beyond, they came up with solutions to any little hiccup we came across and stayed late to get it ready. They came back for a few extra days just to get everything ready and to bring extra lighting for us! Ella was truly invested in our wedding and making sure that it was everything we ever imagined.
We cannot recommend Ella and her team enough, she's an absolute dream & star to work with. Thank you! -

We booked Ella 18 months in advance, and from the very first phone call, I knew we were going to get along brilliantly. (You spend a lot of time with your suppliers — it's so important to find someone you click with!)
Ella visited our site early on and gave us some invaluable pointers to get things moving a year before the wedding — which was such a help, as we really didn’t have a clue where to start. Throughout the whole planning process, she was always just a phone call away, even for my silliest questions — and honestly, that reassurance made such a difference.
In the week leading up to the wedding, Ella began setting up, which gave us time to see the space come to life and plan where everything else would go. Setup day was during a heatwave, and the wedding day brought torrential rain and wind… but none of that mattered the Tipis stand strong in any weather and provide a gorgeous space no matter what the elements are throwing at you outside.
We had booked Ella to coordinate the day as well as do the tipis and décor, and thank goodness we did — she handled everything with such calm and professionalism. The whole timeline had to change due to the weather, but she took it all in her stride, and none of the guests knew any different.
The tipis are absolutely stunning — they created such a magical and unique atmosphere. The décor Ella provided gave the most luxurious boho feel, it was exactly what we envisioned. We’d originally booked garden games, but because of the rain & wind, Ella pivoted without hesitation and had supplied a whole basket of blankets instead. It was amazing! I had no idea how much our guests would love that. She has an incredible ability to foresee what people will need before they even know it themselves.
Ella was the calm in the storm — quite literally. Her presence the day before and on the day itself was grounding and invaluable. I honestly can’t imagine our wedding without her.
Even the tables and chairs were better than anything I’ve seen at other weddings — everything was just so thoughtfully chosen and beautifully styled. Our guests haven’t stopped commenting on how stunning the tipis, decor, and overall vibe were.
It truly is a wedding we’ll never forget, and our guests won’t either. Ella — you, and your beautiful tipis, are to thank for that. 💛 -

Jill Sent on 03/10/2025Wow 🤩 what a beautiful space
Ella and her team came recommended by a good friend and they did not disappoint.
Talking to her from the beginning I knew we were on the same page and that I could trust her to create a wedding space for us that really reflected the vibe we wanted.
When I walked in I was blown away. It really was perfect. We received so many compliments, but the best comment was from a friend who said “this is so you” I knew then that Ella had got everything spot on. -

Sarah Sent on 02/10/2025Best decision we made!
True to the cliche, our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and Ella was a huge part of that: providing the gorgeous tipi that formed the bedrock of our vision, cooking the most INCREDIBLE slow-cooked, locally sourced food (everyone raved about it), and helping out in countless other ways too. I will recommend her til the day I die. -

Bianca Sent on 22/09/2024Went above and beyond to make our day special!
Ella and Iain were absolute stars!!! The went above and beyond to ensure that our day was special - even battling through 5 days of biblical weather to ensure our wedding was perfect! We had the bamboo pergola, festoon lighting, twinkly lighting, deck chairs, whisky barrels and tables (as you can see from the photos). Ella and Iain transformed our garden into a beautiful, atmospheric and extremely romantic setting for our wedding garden party (approx 90 guests). The bamboo pergola was so popular, we think every single guest insisted that we make it a permanent feature!
The service received from Ella and Iain was second to none and we would 100% use and recommend to everyone! They ensured that we were always happy and would make suggestions on what we could do, which really accelerated our decor/design for our wedding. Thank you guys! You are incredible! We had the best day and all of your work and garden transformation made our dream a reality! -

Sophie Sent on 10/07/2024Boho style tipi wedding
Ella and Iain are two of life's most amazing people. Super lovely, experienced and problem solve in a cool calm and collected way when challenges naturally come up. From the very start Ella totally got the wedding brief. We wanted casual, boho, surfer vibes. She put together very easy to understand quotes, different packages at different price points. If anything she undersells what she has available. She also wanted to make our wedding as personal and perfect as possible and i really felt that she gave her all to deliver on that. She is forward coming with interior design and comes forwards with ideas and suggestions of what will work and look good for the price you are after. She doesn't book back-to-back events so there is plenty of time for setting up, decorating and getting the tipi looking beautiful. The team she uses to put up and take down were also very friendly and a delight to have around our house. Ella has a whole warehouse of decorative items, that she doesn't let out to other people, so you have pull pick of what is available last minute if needed, which was another massive plus for us. Ella really went above and beyond for us. The tipis (we had two big ones) looked amazing and were just right for what we wanted. Rustic and boho. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her and having looked at a lot of companies, Ella's felt the most personable and she offers way more than just the tipis - whisky barrels (which she agreed to price match for me), festoon lighting, sofa area (definitely recommend opting for this), rugs etc.
She is a lovely person and delivered an incredible service for us. -

Tom L. Sent on 30/05/2024Our big day, made perfect
I set out with an idea in my head to give my wife-to-be a relaxed/laid back, trendy, mainly outdoor English country garden themed reception.
She had left it up to me… and. I thought I knew what I wanted. With a few weeks to go the weather became dreadful, i panicked, started doubting everything and lost sight of the vision i had set out with .
That s where Ella (and Iain) stepped in. I obviously wanted everything to be perfect but had a limited budget! They “held my hand” throughout and delivered me the wedding reception I’d dreamed of. I supplied my own marquee…. And they bought it to life!!!
I had a few mini breakdowns in the days leading up to it. They were patient, kind and got me back on track. They came up with really creative ideas that I hadn’t considered and delivered them quickly and efficiently.
(And the sun stayed out all day in the end)
Thank you so much Star & Canvas. I will be eternally grateful. -
