FAQS
What if it rains?
We have had the Tipis out in wind, rain, snow and even sunshine! Our advice is to plan for rain - that way you know you have everything covered off and pre-planned. * This might be having clear frontage on standby, for the Tipis * Having enough indoor space so that if everyone has to be inside the space is comfortable * Consider the location of the bar if you can have this inside or close to the entrance * Locate the Toilet Close by If you are considering an outdoor wedding ceremony. Your Plan B space will generally be the Dance Floor area. Embrace it!
Can we see the Tipis and Sailcloth Tent?
Yes, we have a number of open events throughout the year where you can see the Tipis and Sailcloth up in all their glory. You’ll be able to see what they look like when they are all lit up at night-time; perfect for imagining how your evening reception will look and how it will feel. You’ll be able to walk around inside and really get a feel for what kind of arrangement you want for your wedding. We will keep you updated on up-and-coming events. We also keep our open events page up to date here: www.samitipi.co.uk/open-events/
Do we need power and toilets?
To make your outdoor event function, you will require power and toilets. If your site does not offer power or organise the hiring in of an event generator, this is something we can do for you. If you would prefer to organise your own generator, we will advise you on our power requirements. We also work with a number of luxury toilet hire companies. We are happy to coordinate the hiring of these in for you, or we can recommend suppliers we have worked within the past.
What support do we have after we have booked?
Our team are always at the end of the phone or email whenever you need us. In addition to this we like to formally offer two planning meetings. These tend to be 6 months before the big day, then a second one 6 weeks before. This is time together to work through your timeline, guest needs, supplier needs and from this we can then begin to create a floor plan that works for you.
Are you a Member of MUTA?
YES. MUTA is the Kite Mark for Tent and Marquee providers in the UK. Ensuring your event is in safe hands, with a trusted supplier and an experienced team. It is the UK’s only trade association dedicated to marquees, tents and structures. When you hire any outside structure, you want to make sure that they are a MUTA member. Not everyone in our industry chooses to be a member, but your biggest day is too important – so at Sami Tipi we wouldn’t have it any other way.
