From elegant sailcloth tents and traditional Nordic tipis to stretch tents and clearspan marquees, every installation is tailored to the individual needs of the couple.

The company’s focus on flexibility, quality, and personalised service allows couples to create a wedding that reflects their own style while enjoying the freedom that a marquee or tipi wedding provides.

A Complete Outdoor Wedding Venue Solution

One of the biggest advantages of working with The Cheshire Tent Company is the ability to create a completely bespoke wedding venue from the ground up.

Unlike traditional venues where layouts and facilities are often fixed, marquee and tipi weddings allow couples to design every aspect of their celebration. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering of close family and friends or a large-scale wedding with hundreds of guests, the team can recommend the most suitable structure and layout to accommodate your plans.

The company provides far more than simply the marquee itself. They can also supply flooring, lighting, furniture, dance floors, heating, generators, catering tents, bars, and a wide range of additional event equipment, helping couples source everything they need through a single supplier.

This comprehensive approach simplifies planning and helps ensure every element works together seamlessly on the day.

Stunning Sailcloth Wedding Tents

Among the most popular options offered by The Cheshire Tent Company are their elegant sailcloth tents.

Featuring beautiful timber support poles and sweeping canvas roofs, sailcloth tents combine traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering to create a striking wedding space. Their high peaks and panoramic sidewalls allow natural light to flood the interior, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day.

The sailcloth design works particularly well for countryside weddings, garden celebrations, and venue grounds where couples want a structure that feels both luxurious and connected to its surroundings.

Because the interior acts as a blank canvas, couples can personalise the space with their own décor, floral arrangements, lighting schemes, and furniture choices to create a completely unique wedding venue.

Authentic Nordic Tipi Weddings

For couples seeking a more relaxed, rustic, or festival-inspired atmosphere, The Cheshire Tent Company also offers authentic Nordic tipis.

Manufactured in Sweden by Tentipi, one of the original and most respected tipi manufacturers, these impressive structures provide a distinctive alternative to traditional marquees. The timber poles and durable weatherproof canvas create a warm, inviting environment that works beautifully for outdoor weddings throughout the year.

During warmer months, the sides can be raised to create an open and airy celebration space. In cooler seasons, the structures can be enclosed to provide a cosy atmosphere for guests. Styled with fairy lights, rustic furniture, and personalised décor, tipis create a unique setting that many couples find perfectly suited to relaxed and informal wedding celebrations.

Tipi weddings continue to grow in popularity because they offer couples the freedom to create something entirely their own while retaining a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Clearspan Marquees for Larger Weddings

For larger celebrations requiring maximum flexibility, clearspan marquees provide an excellent solution.

Unlike traditional marquees, clearspan structures have no central poles or guy ropes, creating a completely open interior that can be configured in numerous ways. This makes them ideal for larger dining layouts, expansive dance floors, entertainment areas, and weddings with substantial guest numbers.

Available in a variety of sizes, these structures can accommodate everything from medium-sized receptions to large-scale wedding celebrations. Options including panoramic windows, wooden flooring, interior linings, and customised lighting help create an elegant and comfortable environment regardless of the weather.

Their versatility makes them particularly popular for private estate weddings, country house grounds, and large outdoor venues.

Stretch Tents for Contemporary Celebrations

The Cheshire Tent Company also offers stretch tents, a modern and highly versatile option that has become increasingly popular for contemporary weddings.

Stretch tents can be installed on uneven ground and configured in a variety of shapes and layouts, making them ideal for unusual locations or couples looking for something different from a traditional marquee.

Their contemporary appearance works particularly well for modern outdoor weddings, festival-style celebrations, and relaxed summer events where couples want to create a stylish and informal atmosphere.

The flexibility of stretch tents allows them to adapt to the surrounding landscape while providing practical shelter and visual impact.

Expert Planning & Venue Support

Planning a marquee or tipi wedding involves more considerations than booking a traditional venue, which is why The Cheshire Tent Company provides extensive support throughout the process.

The team works closely with couples from the initial enquiry stage, offering advice on marquee styles, sizing, layouts, and practical requirements. Site visits are available to assess the proposed location and discuss the best options for the available space.

One particularly valuable service is the creation of detailed CAD layout plans, allowing couples to visualise the interior arrangement before installation begins. This helps with seating plans, dance floor positioning, catering areas, bars, and overall guest flow.

Their experience helps ensure every aspect of the setup is carefully considered and professionally managed.

Trusted Experience Across the Events Industry

With over 15 years of combined experience in the events industry, The Cheshire Tent Company has developed expertise across weddings, festivals, private celebrations, and corporate events.

The company has worked alongside a wide range of venues, event organisers, and suppliers throughout the North West, giving them valuable insight into delivering successful events of all sizes.

Their commitment to customer service is reflected in the support they provide before, during, and after every installation. From free site visits and event planning advice to backup equipment and support teams, they aim to provide complete peace of mind for their clients.
