Everything we could of dreamed of!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more from Aimee and Forest Edge Tipis. Not only is the venue absolutely STUNNING and fit my vision perfectly. The whole process leading up and on the day was seamless. Aimee is clearly so experienced with making everyone feel at ease on one of the most important days. We were on and off with rain, but Aimee knew my preference of having our ceremony outside and held off until the last minute to make sure that dream came true. All our friends and family are still talking about the day, but one of the main focus always comes back to the tipis and how beautiful and different they are. Thank you so much for everything!

10 out 10 at Welford Park

When looking at venues we got that "wow" moment when we first saw the Tipis and immediately knew it was exactly what we wanted. We booked in 2023 for our day in 2025 and the our wedding plans just blossomed! The team made legal marriage available at the venue, they added a bar, they added an outdoor ceremony area and put a lot of work in to maintaining the area. We booked our dream venue and ended up with some beyond our dreams and expectations.

Aimee and Martyn were so helpful, easy to talk to and so welcoming. We left feeling like they were our friends and couldn't recommend them enough. Our guests loved attending such a unique venue - the milk churn urinals were a surprisingly popular topic of conversation!

There is plenty of parking, lots of beautiful spots for photos and so much you can choose to make the space your own.

A Perfect Day

Thank you, Forest Edge, for a perfect day.

Aimme was fantastic throughout the whole process. She was communicative and helpful in the planning of our day.

On our wedding day, everything was taken care of; the venue spoke to every supplier beforehand and had arranged arrival times, and everything they needed. This took any stress out of the day and allowed us to have the best time. We were also driven around by Aimme to our photo locations to minimise the amount of time we were away from our guests

The venue at Sheepdrove is stunning, and for us was the perfect mix of nature and luxury, with us being able to choose all the suppliers we wanted, giving us absolute flexibility.

Being allowed into the venue the day prior for setting up was one of the best parts, as it meant we could have everything in place to have a stress-free day. We also used the accommodation on-site at Sheepdrove, so we managed to extend our wedding out for a full weekend of time with our family and friends.

This is the perfect venue, and I can't recommend it enough!

Amazing day

We were so pleased with Forest Edge Tipis and Aimee. We went for a relatively independent wedding, but the time to set up the day before plus the support on the day behind the scenes (with Aimee even supporting with collecting our pizza delivery) was just perfect. They clearly have lots of experience on pulling off the perfect day and their experience was invaluable. Every guest was commenting on how stunning the venue and tipi was, we are beyond glad we went for the tipis at Welford park.

Best day ever!

From the start of our wedding planning, my husband and I knew we wanted something fun, relaxed and a representation of us. Aimee and the Forest Edge Tipis team were able to give us all of that and more!
We had the ceremony in the woodland area at the Sheepdrove Organic Farm location and it was the outdoor woodland wedding of my dreams! The drinks and canapes were then held in the herb garden (with wedding alpacas present!) which was so colourful and beautiful, and the reception was held in the large tipi tents.
It was difficult to see how it would all come together but on the day of the wedding I didn’t have a single thing to worry about as Aimee took care of everything and more!
The entire venue and team completely exceeded my expectations and I really, truly cannot thank them enough for everything they did.

The ceremony woodland area and the tipis alone are enough to make the day feel magical, but it gives you the added ability to decorate however you want to and make it truly unique to you. We were also given access to the tipi’s the day before which gave us ample time to decorate how we wanted to without time restraints!
You can also hire your own caterers (which was a huge plus for us) so this venue gives you so much freedom!
So many of our guests have told us that these personal touches made it the best wedding they have ever been to!

A special mention must also go to Joe at the Olive Bars for making incredible cocktails, especially the ones based on our beloved pets!

To Aimee, Martin, Joe and the whole Forest Edge Tipis team, thank you thank you thank you for making it the best day of our lives.

Tipi Wedding September 2024

We cannot recommend Aimee and the Forest Edge Tipi team enough! We looked at trying to do a tipi wedding ourselves with a friend's fields but it would have been a logistical nightmare. When you book with Forest Edge Tipi everything is included (generator, toilets etc.) and Aimee is even there on the day and it was a massive help! We had the best day of our lives and so many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had been to!

Amazing tipis, lovely people, great service

Forest edge were absolutely incredible. Their tipis are beautiful, and you can get lots of extras through them which makes shopping around much easier.
We went for a different site and they were amazing at setting up with lots of time for us to decorate, and taking down promptly too.
The team were flexible, communicative and really lovely.

Thanks so much

The best day of our lives!

Having been a guest at a wedding with Forest Edge Tipis a couple of years prior, we’d already had an insight into the beautiful tipis they had to offer. When attending one of the Sheepdrove open days in a dreary January morning, Aimee kindly showed us a new location at the Sheep Shed and we instantly fell in love with it. The vast countryside, with rolling hills, in the middle of nowhere, was exactly what we envisioned for our summer wedding!

The tipis with beautiful rustic chandeliers and atmospheric fairy lighting truly speak for themselves but being able to have free rein of the space and venue to dress and put our own touches into the Tipi and external areas was what made it really special.

Not only this put being able to hire your own suppliers, again makes the whole day so much more tailor made and personal but fear not, Aimee is on hand with an extensive list of recommended suppliers should you need it.

Having access to the venue the day before was invaluable, it gave us plenty of time to decorate and prep. Aimee and Martin left us to our own devices but were on hand should we need their assistance with anything.

Aimee was very accommodating, approachable and patient (with all my questions!) from start to finish when planning what really was, the BEST day of our lives!

We can assure you, you won’t regret using Forest Edge Tipis for your special day.

Forest tipi wedding of our dreams

Just amazing! From the ceremony in the forest to the tipis as our venue, it was perfect and our dream day that suited us so well. Aimee was fantastic from the start and helped us with all the plans and decisions along the way. On the day she could not have worked any harder to make the day go smoothly including picking up our singer from the train station (which we were none the wiser of) and rescuing our evening caterers whose van broke down. We are so grateful and us and our guests had the best time and wish we could do it all over again.

Tipi wedding

We hired four giant hats with an additional chill out tipi for our wedding on private land. Aimee and Martin were so helpful in the run up to the day and ensured everything was perfect for us. Aimee even offered to be around for the day to greet other suppliers and support in any way she could. We had the most amazing day and the terrible weather actually meant we used every inch of the tipis. I cannot count how many compliments we have had about them and we absolutely loved the atmosphere they gave.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
