There are numerous factors that need to be taken into account when selecting your Tipi size. Please see a list of factors below:

How many guests will be attending?

Do you want the tipis sides up or sides down? See Size & specifications for guidance.

How do you want the interior space styled? (ie dance floor, bar, casual seating, formal seating)

Our tipis were originally designed to survive in the unforgiving conditions of the Arctic circle and are well equipped to handle the conditions in Australia. Unless your site is at risk of flooding, rain is not an issue. However, if strong winds are forecast, we may have to alter setup dates/times as well as Tipi configuration. In this instance we will liaise with you in order to determine the best course of action. As with any outdoor event, we are at the mercy of mother nature; it never hurts to have Plan-B.

Our team will be in close contact in the lead up to the event and will work with you to determine a plan in the event of adverse weather conditions.

The site should be level. A spot sheltered from strong wind is also very beneficial.

The site should be easily accessible for delivery of the tipis.

Consider where you electricity supply will come from. A generator can be supplied if required.

The site should not be prone to flooding in the event of heavy rain.

We operate on the South Coast all the way to and including the Sapphire Coast, ACT, Southern Tablelands , Southern Highlands and greater Sydney area. For events beyond that range please contact us as we love to travel where we can.

Our Delivery fee is calculated based on your order amount and the distance we need to travel from our base in the Illawarra. As a guide $100 per 100km is what we work from.

Prices quoted are for a typical hire meaning we setup the tipi the day before and remove the tipi the day after your event.

If you wish to hire the tipi for a longer duration this can be arranged, please speak to the team.

You can contact us through our website or call us directly.

We can then discuss your requirements and date availability.

To lock in a date we will send you a quote for you to accept, including details of the deposit required, this will include a link to the terms and conditions of the hire agreement.

We will require a 20% deposit to guarantee your event and the balance paid to us in full 2 weeks out from the actual event date.

We highly recommend taking out event insurance and speaking directly with a professional within the insurance industry.

Our tipis are giant and are much more than your average tent build. Our tipis are engineered structures that require precision construction by our expert crew. People often underestimate the time and skill involved in building our Nordic tipis.

The time varies, but on average a single tipi setup is 4 hours and a double tipi setup is 10 hours. Give or take a few hours.

Yes!

They really help minimise the stress of the event, especially for destination weddings. We can recommend some of the awesome planners we have worked with before.

We are also happy to help with some of the planning by recommending some of our trusted suppliers that we have worked with in the past.
