More Than a Venue.
Meet the Team Behind It.
JAVA started with two kids, a big dream, and a refusal to do things by halves. Today it's a husband-and-wife team, 30 brilliant people, and hundreds of unforgettable events.
And we're just getting started...
We're Nick and Martha - and Java is personal.
The name says it all. JAVA is a blend of our children's names, Jack and Ava, and everything we do carries that same sense of family.
We're not a faceless events company.
We're a husband-and-wife team who genuinely love what we do, backed by a brilliant 30-strong crew who feel exactly the same way.
Before tipis, we ran a pub together for eight years. Before that, Martha was building an event management company from the ground up - learning what worked, cutting out what didn't, and hand-picking the people and suppliers she trusted completely.
Java Tipis grew out of all of that experience, and out of something even simpler: a love of camping under the stars, family holidays in Pembrokeshire, and the kind of celebrations where the whole crew shows up - kids, siblings, and all. For us, a tipi isn't just a venue.
It's the most magical space we know to mark life's biggest moments.
Built on Family. Driven by Passion.
We're Not a Wedding Factory.
We Never Will Be.
Every event we create is built around you - your style, your budget, your people.
We've helped hundreds of couples pull off weddings that friends and family are still talking about years later.
We've also delivered for countless corporate events and festivals.
But the approach is always the same: no cookie-cutter packages, no upselling for the sake of it, and absolutely no commission - ever.
We work with a trusted network of caterers, photographers, florists, entertainers, stationers and more.
Because of the relationships we've built over nearly a decade, many of our suppliers offer us preferential rates - and we pass every penny of that saving straight to you.

All Under One Roof ...
Here's what makes us different.
When you book Java Tipis, you're not just hiring a beautiful space.
You're getting a whole team in your corner.
Through Java Bars & Event Management - our sister company - we handle drinks, full event management, supplier coordination, itineraries, budgets, and everything in between.
And here's the bit that stops people in their tracks: if you book your bar through Java Bars, we'll manage your entire event for free. No catch. Just one less thing to worry about on the most important day of your life.
Our Event Managers - Martha, Katie, Sarah and Laura - will be with you from your very first enquiry right through to the last dance.
Couples tell us all the time that we quickly become their best friends.
Honestly? We're fine with that.
The Practical Stuff
(Because It Matters Too)
-
Weather? Covered - literally. We offer panoramic panels and doors to keep your event going whatever the British weather decides to do.
-
Self-sufficient venue? No problem. We can supply tipis, a generator, outside toilets and catering tents - everything you need, nothing you don't.
-
Decor? Browse our huge selection through The Little Wedding Lending Company, from table decorations to statement structures.
-
Budget worries? Talk to us. We'll share money-saving tips, recommend the right suppliers, and never recommend anything we wouldn't use ourselves.
We're always happy to chat on the phone or meet in person. Whether you need us to handle everything or just the bits that matter most - we're here for as much or as little as you need.
We can't wait to hear from you.
