Couples nowadays are often looking to stand out with their wedding. Gone are the days where everyone dreamed of having a big white fairytale; quirky, unusual weddings are becoming much more fashionable. Finding a wedding venue with a twist really can add something particularly special to the big day.
Having your celebrations in a tent, whether choosing the more traditional marquee or a fun and cosy tepee, could be the answer you’ve been looking for. Even those who do not express much love for the great outdoors may still fall head over heels for a wedding under canvas because the atmosphere you can create in this setting is just so intimately beautiful.
This style of wedding can be perfect for those on a tight budget, but it is also easy to spend a lot on this sort of wedding venue if you’re not careful, because everything from tables and chairs to flooring and heating must be hired. However, with a little organisation and resourcefulness, there is no reason why you can’t find the perfect venue within your price range.
The main benefit of tents is that they are hugely flexible, extremely adaptable and can cater to almost any sort of wedding. Couples are able to have much more stylistic control over their big day than they would be able to in a built venue because they are working with a blank canvas. It is this which is the attractive selling point for so many; you can be sure that your wedding will be completely one of a kind.
Additionally, with so many different sized tents available, it is quite feasible to have both the ceremony and reception in this venue. To create even more interest, a cluster of tents could be used so that guests have, for example, a separate bar area or space for a cloakroom and a cool snug or hideout for children. The possibilities and combinations are endless and there really are a wealth of benefits to this style of wedding, so it is worth looking into the possibilities before writing it all off as ‘glamping’ nonsense. But, what kinds of tents are actually available?
