Tipi and Yurt Wedding Venues in East – England

From our first visit to Swan Tipis we knew we wanted our wedding here and the whole process was fantastic from start to finish. The tipi is in a beautiful setting overlooking the Suffolk countryside, so we were able to have the outdoor ceremony that we had wanted. Swan Tipis catered all of the food for the day (which was all delicious!) including canapes, barbeque (cooked out in front of the guests) and fresh wood fired pizzas. They already had some decorations, signs and games available, which go perfectly with the tipi. Being situated behind the (amazing thatched) Swan pub also meant that toilets were readily available, the bar was well stocked and there was space inside for some guests to retire to as the day went on. The floral rings (hanging in the tipi) that Swan Tipis created for the day were also incredible. Not only was the venue beautiful, but it came with an amazing team who were there at every step, including helping with our decorations the day before and doing all of the rearranging and setting of tables/chairs etc on the day. Rob and Laura were so friendly, accommodating and communicative and they really made our special day go magically! It was so relaxed, fun and beautiful. Thank you so much!!

Anabelle and her team at The Meadows are fantastic. Taking any stress away, we always felt like we were in safe hands with the wedding guru that is Anabelle. Always super responsive to questions and so helpful keeping us on track with organising. On the day, everything was in safe hands and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. Truly fantastic service throughout. The venue itself is so beautiful and the Oak Tree in Freddie's Field is a perfect spot for an outdoor ceremony.

From our first meeting with Ben and Georgie it just felt so right. We quickly knew that they would be able to bring our vision of the perfect wedding day to life and they absolutely nailed it. The team, including Sam and Leigh, were so accommodating and flexible, allowing our extensive input, ideas and hands on creativity, without any issue. Always super responsive to communication, happy to allow a number of site visits in preparation of the big day, and showed such commitment and energy to ensure our celebration was perfect in every way. We've had so many amazing comments from our guests, with many saying it was the best wedding they have ever attended. The Cress Lake team worked tirelessly to ensure that we had an amazing day from start to finish. Stunning setting, with a natural and organic feel that captured our vision perfectly. We can't recommend Cress Lake highly enough, as they absolutely delivered on all our hopes and vision of the big day.

We got married in September ‘24 and had the best day of our lives at Haybales farm! Obviously, that’s because we got married but being in a perfect setting really helped with that feeling. We always wanted to get married outdoors and as soon as we found Haybales we knew it was the place for us. Finding it, the field itself was a little challenging but between the what three words and a few handmade wedding signs with our names on all of our guests found it fine. The tipi is gorgeous, perfectly sized for dancing, eating and a bar too. The drinks are typical wedding prices but not crazy either, we are from the midlands so a little more than we would pay at home but most were £6. We had wine on the tables, I would recommend choosing your own if you want something specific otherwise you’ll get pretty basic stuff but that isn’t necessarily a problem. We wanted to keep the cost down so we did a lot of decorating ourselves, Amy was onsite with us for most of the time and she helped us which was so kind. The weather unfortunately wasn’t exactly what we ordered, but Will was there offering ideas and solutions. He told us we could move the wedding inside the tipi, which honestly would have looked gorgeous with all the fairy lights. We decided to embrace the fog though and had a slightly atmospheric wedding outside and honestly, no one even noticed the weather it was still a perfect wedding! This is not their review but; We had a celebrant to do our wedding in the field, Steve Morris Celebrant, who was amazing and perfect for our wedding! We got a caterer in that did pizza, potters pizza, who cooked on site for 2 hours, kept everyone happy and fed. The pizza was amazing and fit the theme so well. We also hired a glamping service, enchanted bell tents, who some of our guests also chose to use too. For those guests who didn’t glamp, Will and Amy allowed us to let our guests camp for free on the field with us so when everyone had set up it was a real festival vibe. There are lots of hotels and b’n’b’s nearby (even a few premier inns for the less expensive option) for those who need a real bed too. Taxis weren’t too bad either, we were told to book in advance to avoid disappointment as there is only one or two in the local area, but we found calling out to Oakham or Stamford companies worked okay if you were willing to wait a little longer for a lift. Will and Amy were really lovely and helped with organising all our third parties, things you don’t want to think about on your wedding day like the DJ has arrived, where are the plugs or the toilet hire has arrived, they have it covered. They are both really lovely and helpful and open to ideas. They let us stay from Friday to Sunday to set up and we had a great time. We would definitely recommend it here!
