We received so many compliments on our wedding day on how good the tipis looked. They were a key feature of our wedding theme. The service was amazing and the team setting up and taking down were incredible and friendly. The open weekends we have attended prior to our wedding were so well organised and very helpful. Carla and Owen were so helpful ensuring we had the perfect set up for our perfect day! Thank you!!

Amie & Jack

We held our daughter’s wedding in the walled garden. Bryonie was amazing in helping us pull the event together working with us and our suppliers throughout. Tony did a brilliant job in setting everything up.

As for the venue itself. Fabulous. The ideal venue with the walled garden providing a blank canvass to create the perfect dream day. Our guests were stunned many commenting that it was breathtaking.

Gwynne & Tracey

I want to say a huge thank you – to you and your team.

Your venue was “magical”, “enchanted”, like “being in a fairy-tale”- comments from the men at the party! We had a fabulous time in your walled garden party venue. Just what we (hospital staff) needed to lift morale and spirits after covid. Your support in helping get the event off the ground and making it effortless and stress free for me from the moment we both spoke was very much appreciated! Everyone says it is the best party venue they have been to (and we have held parties in lovely places. I’ve organised over a dozen). The lighting in the garden, the tipis, and the indoor fire pit and the outdoor – gave it another wow factor! The rainy drizzle did not even dampen the spirits or the party mood. Having umbrellas provided was great.

You can always judge a place by the portable loos – they too were beautiful!

It was perfection. Thank you so much. 4 months down the line people are still talking about the party and especially the venue and how fabulous it was. A great achievement – bearing in mind how busy we all are. Magical!!!

Happy Couple

The team at Coastal Tents provided and set up three tipis for our wedding this September. They were a pleasure to deal with and provided a beautiful, distinctive and functional setup for our wedding. They have a stock of a great range of additional items (fire pits, catering tents, tables, chairs, festoon lighting etc) so it is really easy to get the setup you want. Thank you Coastal Tents.

William & Hannah

A massive thank you to to you and your team for making our day wonderful. Everything was so on point, we felt hugely comfortable before and during the day asking you anything – from borrowing a hole punch to sorting a DIY tea and coffee station – and it really was the small details that ultimately made our day memorable. So many people couldn’t believe they hadn’t been to Holywell before and we kept getting asked “where did you find this place?”. Needless to say, you may well see a few of them again.
