Java Tipis

Wedding & event tipi hire · Based in Hereford, hosting across the UK

From small, intimate weddings to big celebrations for hundreds of people

Our Scandinavian wedding tipis, or teepees as some people call them, hired from our base in Hereford for tipi weddings across Herefordshire and the UK. Hand raised timber poles, natural canvas and fairy lights strung through the poles. Wide open tipis under bright summer skies, or sides down to make it cosy. However we set them up is fixed for your day, and the panoramic panels can only be dropped if they've been installed.

The tipis

Giant Hat

It’s wonderfully versatile. Use it as an intimate gathering space for close friends and family, open it up as a dancefloor tipi for celebrations, or create a chill out tipi around a central firepit. You can also drape the whole interior in fabrics, rugs, and cushions for a relaxed boho vibe chill tent.

Good to know. On its own, a Giant Hat seats 56 for dinner. For a bar and dancefloor as well, add a second tipi.

Two Linked Hats

Two giant tipis linked side by side create one flowing space, their tall Douglas fir poles and glowing canvas cones forming a striking backdrop for any celebration.

Inside, there’s room to seat 80 guests banquet style at long dining tables. Dress them with rustic benches draped in soft furs for a cosy, natural feel, or swap to elegant crossback chairs for a more classic look. Add a dancefloor and a bar, and you have a complete wedding setup under one beautiful, connected roof.

Good to know. Our round bar takes up a whole tipi, so if you’d like it, upgrade to three linked tipis.

Three Linked Hats

Three giant tipis linked together give you room to seat 130 guests, which is what we recommend, or up to 140 if you need a little more space, with a dancefloor and bar ready for the party. Greet everyone with welcome drinks from our vintage cart, showcase your cake on our rustic barrel table, and add our chill out furniture for cosy corners to relax in.

A unique setting that feels both grand and intimate, perfect for an unforgettable day.
