Tell us your Story?
Our journey began in 2016, inspired by a simple love for outdoor adventures and a belief that special moments deserve extraordinary settings.
What started with a handful of beautiful bell tents then quickly grew into something much bigger. As our passion grew, so did our vision. We expanded from Bell Tents into Giant Tipis and elegant Sailcloth Marquee structures, crafting stunning reception spaces that blend seamlessly with their surroundings. From intimate celebrations to large-scale weddings and events, we discovered the magic of creating venues that feel both grand and deeply connected to nature.
Today, we’re proud to offer a collection of structures designed to bring people together in truly memorable ways. Every structure we raise carries the same spirit we started with — adventure, creativity, and a genuine love for outdoor living.
What has been your biggest business challenge to date?
Like the entire events industry, nothing could have prepared us for the impact of Covid.
Almost overnight, our business built on celebrations, gatherings, and bringing people together, came to a standstill. Weddings were postponed, events cancelled, and calendars that were once full became uncertain. But behind every postponement was a couple, a family, or a client facing disappointment, and our priority was always to respond with empathy, patience, and understanding. We did something practical with our resources though in using our vans and time helping local food banks make vital deliveries, even helping one food bank move premises.
What has been your greatest or proudest business achievement to date?
One of our proudest milestones has been collaborating with our trusted suppliers to design and manufacture our own branded tents and furnishings.
From the very beginning, quality and attention to detail have been at the heart of everything we do. As our business grew, we recognised the opportunity to create something truly distinctive — structures and interiors that not only reflect our standards but also embody our brand’s style, durability and character.
What type of clients do you currently work with and who are you looking to meet?
We’re proud to work with a diverse range of clients, each bringing their own vision, style and story. From vibrant festivals and large-scale outdoor gatherings to polished corporate events and brand activations, our structures provide the perfect balance of practicality and visual impact. We also have the privilege of working with countless brides and couples, creating beautiful, unforgettable settings for weddings and celebrations.
Tell us a story/fact about yourself that people might not know?
In June 2021, after COVID kept us apart we held an event in one of our Giant Tipis for a magical gender reveal for our first Son Zachary, celebrating new life and the joy of being together again.
How do you define Success?
After ten years in the events industry, success is measured in far more than bookings or revenue. For us, it’s about the impact we create, the experiences we help shape, and the relationships we’ve built along the way. Success is:
Creating unforgettable moments
Delivering quality and consistency
Building trust and partnerships
Adapting and growing
