Why couples choose Sunset Tipis

Few wedding spaces deliver quite the same sense of occasion as a tipi. Their soaring timber poles and canvas create an instantly atmospheric backdrop, while the ability to raise the sides brings the landscape right into the celebration.

It's also an incredibly flexible way to wed. Tipis can be linked together to create anything from a cosy celebration to a large-scale party, while couples have the freedom to choose their own location, suppliers and styling.

That means a favourite family field, a beautiful piece of Cornish countryside or the grounds of an existing venue can be transformed into a wedding setting that feels completely personal.

Create your own wedding venue

One of the biggest draws of a tipi wedding is the opportunity to start with a blank canvas.

Rather than working around the existing décor and layout of a traditional venue, couples can shape the space around their celebration – from the positioning of the tables and dance floor to the lighting, flowers, furniture and bar.

Sunset Tipis can help assess the suitability of your chosen location with a free site visit before designing a configuration around your guest numbers, plans and the available space.

From one tipi to a festival

The modular nature of the tipis means the set-up can grow with the size of your wedding.

A single tipi creates an intimate, atmospheric setting for a smaller gathering, while several interconnected tipis can provide distinct areas for dining, drinking, dancing and relaxing.

For a full festival-style wedding, larger configurations can accommodate around 200 guests, creating a spectacular tipi village where celebrations can flow between the different spaces and the outdoors.

Make it your own

Inside, timber poles and sweeping canvas provide a beautifully natural backdrop for almost any wedding style.

Keep things pared-back with long wooden tables, foliage and candlelight, embrace a bohemian look with rugs, wildflowers and relaxed seating, or fill the space with statement florals, installations and atmospheric lighting.

Furniture, flooring, lighting, staging, tables and seating are all available, while the wider Sunset Tipis and Skybar Weddings team can also help with elements such as the bar, sound and entertainment.

Whatever the weather

A wedding under canvas doesn't mean having to cross your fingers for uninterrupted Cornish sunshine.

The tipis are waterproof and can be configured with protective sides when the weather turns, while full-height window panels allow couples and guests to continue enjoying the view while staying sheltered.

On warm summer days, the sides can be raised to open the celebration to its surroundings, creating an effortless flow between the tipi and the landscape outside.

Perfect for…

Couples dreaming of a tipi wedding in Cornwall; festival-style celebrations; weddings at home or on private land; relaxed outdoor weddings; blank-canvas celebrations; bohemian and rustic styling; large parties; and couples who want the freedom to create their own wedding venue from the ground up.
