Over to Richard & Amanda Monaghan, founders of PapaKåta…
All the best parties happen in a PapaKåta tent
When we started planning our wedding reception, we wanted something different – something extra special. We scoured the country for marquees, but they all looked a bit, well… ordinary. We were after something extraordinary! When we found what we’d been looking for, it changed our lives.
We had discovered the magical world of Sami teepees. Our kåta reception was a truly memorable success. Our guests were bowled over by the Teepee’s uniquely breath-taking atmosphere; in fact, they still talk about it today. We fell in love with kåtas and, driven by a desire to share the love with others, we set up PapaKåta.
Twelve years on and we thought there would never be anything that could come close to our Teepees. And while they still make our hearts skip a beat, along came an American beauty that has swept us off our feet. Our Sperry Tents offer a timeless celebration space that perfectly complements the rustic charm of the Teepees. We’re over the moon to have the exclusive rights to bring these gorgeous tents to the UK.
It is such a pleasure and a total privilege to work with people at one of the happiest times of their lives. Helping couples to create a magical event and a bespoke space that they can celebrate in with friends and family. We treat every event as if it were our first, meaning that each one is truly unique and making every day totally different.
