Why couples choose Deer Farm Tipi Weddings

Deer Farm Tipi Weddings offers the freedom of an outdoor celebration alongside the convenience of an established wedding venue. The tipis provide a versatile blank canvas, while the surrounding hills, open skies and grazing deer create an unmistakably rural backdrop.

Exclusive hire gives couples and their guests time to settle in, celebrate and enjoy the farm without feeling rushed. Access runs from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon, making it possible to turn the occasion into a full weekend with welcome drinks, the wedding day itself and a relaxed gathering the following morning.

Unlike venues tied to a set list of suppliers, Deer Farm allows couples to select their own caterers, florists, photographers and entertainment. A recommended supplier list is also available for those seeking trusted local contacts.

Marry among the Devon hills

Couples can hold their legal ceremony onsite, bringing every part of the wedding together in one picturesque location.

The tipis offer a weatherproof ceremony setting filled with soft natural light and countryside views. Alternatively, couples can exchange vows or hold a blessing outside, surrounded by rolling hills and the peaceful atmosphere of the farm.

The landscape provides plenty of opportunities for photographs, from romantic portraits overlooking the valley to relaxed shots beside the tipis, pond and grazing deer.

Elopements and intimate weddings are also welcomed, giving smaller celebrations the same exclusive access to the venue and grounds.

Celebrate beneath the tipis

Three giant Nordic tipis form the heart of the celebrations. Their unusual off-white canvas, wooden poles and panoramic frontage create a light, characterful space that can be styled to suit everything from a rustic country wedding to a colourful festival-inspired party.

The tipis accommodate up to 130 guests for a seated wedding breakfast, with space for up to 150 across the wider celebration. Rustic tables, vintage chairs, comfortable sofas, a catering tent, luxury toilets and glassware are included.

As daylight fades, festoon lights, fairy lights and a lantern-lit walkway bring a magical glow to the venue. An outdoor firepit offers a welcoming place for guests to gather, while the handcrafted wooden bar is fully stocked and staffed throughout the celebrations.

Stay for the weekend

Onsite accommodation for 16 guests is included with weekend venue hire. The Otters has eight en-suite bedrooms, a spacious open-plan living area, an enclosed garden and a hot tub overlooking the wedding site and surrounding hills.

Additional self-catering properties within walking distance can increase the total accommodation to around 40 guests. These include The Linhay, Kingfisher Lodge and Deer Park, with several properties also offering private hot tubs.

Optional camping provides another way for guests to remain close to the celebrations and adds to the venue’s relaxed festival atmosphere.

Combining exclusive weekend hire, flexible styling and spectacular Devon countryside, Deer Farm Tipi Weddings is an inviting choice for couples dreaming of a personal and laid-back outdoor celebration.
