Java were key to making this the best day of our lives!

We can't praise Java enough. The preparation and planning by the team was superb, and they made sure we felt at ease throughout the whole process. On the day it was incredible to see how everything we wanted came to reality and that they were on hand for any of our needs. Incredible service and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of a tipi wedding!

The wedding of our dreams, Wow we had a hell of a party!!!

Wow I don’t even know where to start by how truly amazing Martha, Nick and their amazing team were!! You truly created the wedding of our dreams!! From the first second we enquired with Java, myself and Martha just clicked! (Two Martha’s of course we were going to become besties) Straight away we knew this was the company for us, and when we meet Martha from how professional she was, how knowledgeable she was, and how much you could see they care sooo much about their couples and you can see the passion for their business radiating from them. We knew Java was going to create our absolute dream wedding. We always dreamt of having tipis and Javas tipis are by far the most beautiful tipis I have ever ever seen! And the amount of Decor Java to dress the tipis is unbelievable, they have absolutely every style covered and will listen and remember all the little style items you love and like. From the very start Martha has absolutely been amazing!! Nothing has ever ever been to much to ask, Martha and the Java team will literally go out of their way, anyway possible to create the most personalised incredible day for you. Martha is so beyond thoughtful and takes the time to really get to know her couples so she can tailor and personalise the day to you, even the smallest details the Java team are always listening and will bespoke the best day of your lives to you. From the planning stages to the big day we have loved every second, we had so so many laughs together and Martha was only a email or a WhatsApp away from answering all our questions, reassuring us when I was worrying about something silly, or just being our biggest hype girl ever!!! Martha completely took the whole stress away from us from the second we booked Martha was so organised and , so so excited about our big day which was honestly so so speical
To have someone planning our wedding who was just as excited as we were, Martha always gave us the most amazing ideas! We really were a dream team together and Martha made tbe whole process so so exciting and not stressful at all! Any worries I had Martha would instantly put me at ease, and what we LOVED the most about Java is how flexible they are! You are literally bespoke the tipis to your dream wedding day!!! All my little ideas and Martha would be straight on board with and would help me persuade my soon to be husband with all our crazy fun party ideas! Like being announced into the tipis holding champagne bottles with sparklers on! Pretty epic! Martha made everything happen, a bath Photo Booth, no probs! Our band on podium in the tipis, no issue. Honestly when we say they are so easy going so fun, and really just want you to have the day of your dreams they will do everything to do this for you! Martha was our support, our go to hype girl, our most incredible event manager on the day and now our bestie for life. Martha and Nicks passion for the business is second to known and truly shines through, I never ever expected the whole planning experience to be so magical and stress free!! One the day Martha and her amazing team of her beautiful daughter Ava and her amazing girls Harriet and Olivia were absolutely amazing! They ran the day so perfectly and we literally didn’t need to worry about anything! The day was truly was everything we ever ever dreamt of and more and honestly can’t thank Martha and her team enough, we count our lucky stars we found Java and I would reccomend Martha and her team over and over again. The professionalism on the day was second to none!! And what we absolutely adored was how much Martha and her amazing team all got soooo involved on the day, literally all our guests loved them so much and they really felt like guests, the dance floor was rammed all day none stop and the girls behind the bar just brought the energy none stop! The warmth and fun you feel from team truly feels like they are part of your wedding having the time of their lives too. Martha ran our day so so perfectly and we truly deserve will never be able to thank her enough, everything was perfect from start to finished we will never ever ever be over how beautiful the tipis were, how smoothly everything ran, how amazing all the staff were! And how much of an epic day it was!!! Fun none stop from start to finish, truly the day of our dreams!!! Martha and her team works non stop!!! They work so so so hard and they all do it with the biggest smile on their faces!

The best wedding supplier!

We booked the services of Java for our DIY home wedding that took place this August. From the start, the service was impeccable and professional. We were allocated the lovely Sarah to help guide us through our wedding planning. No concern was too big for Sarah and she helped reduce our stress levels massively with her warmth and kindness. She handled dealing with a very bossy and stubborn groomzilla (myself) wonderfully! Sarah helped bring our dream wedding to life with her creative vision and advice.

The lovely Martha also had her experience of Groomzilla on the set up days and helped immensely with decisions/set up.

We had the best day of our lives with our field/country wedding and we can’t recommend Java enough. The tipis, communication, decor, customer service and advice were all incredible and we will be forever grateful for Java’s service. Thank you all for your hard work and support, we love you guys!

Love Joe & Emma (The Tods)

Beautiful Tipis and Wonderful Company

We had Java Tipis at our wedding on the 24th June this year and they were amazing! We first booked them back in 2021, and I remember that first reply email being the most detailed and organised of all the wedding suppliers I'd contacted so I immediately wanted to work with them. They continued to be so helpful on the lead up to the wedding with Sarah and Martha answering all my many questions with lots of detail and a lovely 'can-do' approach. They provided helpful decor pictures and layouts of how the tipis were going to look.

The guys doing the set-up were great and were all very happy singing away whilst building! The Tipis looked simply perfect. We choose a venue that had never had tipis before so we had no idea how it was all going to come together so the professionalism and reassurance from Java was spot on. The tipis looked amazing and all our guests were wow-ed by them - especially into the evening when all the fairly lights did there thing! We are so happy we choose Java tipis. Thank you for everything! Heather and Ben xxx

Well Worth Having Java Onboard

Java Tipis provided us with a giant hat and their ceremonial tent for our festival wedding at the end of May, as well as our wedding co-ordinator on the day.

Their tipis are flawless and their team who came to put them up were polite, professional and good fun too (it’s good to have suppliers who add to the excited energy on the run up!)

I had a number of Zoom calls with Katie prior to our wedding, and she really helped me to organise my thoughts and vision of our perfect day. Having Katie’s experience and knowledge of weddings was invaluable and she had some great ideas of the best way for the day to run. Not only that but she was also always professional, polite and brought a wonderful sense of humour to our meetings.

As we were married at quite a large estate where we used most of the space in a DIY wedding, having Elyse there as our co-ordinator was invaluable. It meant that I could relax and enjoy our day, whilst Elyse shepherded us all around and kept everything flowing brilliantly. She even got stuck in with refilling our guests glasses at our drinks reception, helping the (inept!) caterer with food service and did loads of clearing up during our evening reception. I would definitely have been stressed without her, and she was so lovely and friendly to have around on our day.

I honestly can’t thank everyone at Java enough for their big part in making our day the incredibly special and joyous event that it was. If you’re on the fence, book them. You won’t regret it!

Excellent and flexible tipi hire

We went with Java for the ceremony tent for our wedding. They were excellent from the start, and Martha was very accommodating with all of our questions and queries throughout the process. The team who set the canvas tent up did so rapidly, and were a great bunch. Put up the tent and took it down rapidly. Highly recommend.

A Wonderful Day thanks to Java tipis!

Our daughter and her fiancé had their wedding reception in our garden and Java provided the tipis and managed the event. From our first contact we were very impressed- Martha and Nick could not have been more helpful and together they realised my daughter’s dream of a woodland themed party. Watching the tipis go up was so exciting and once the tables had been decorated it was magical! On the day, Martha and her team worked tirelessly and liaised with the caterers to ensure everything went smoothly. Afterwards they made sure everything was cleared and tidied away.
It was a wonderful day, we have had so many compliments and we would highly recommend them - Java tipis made my daughter’s dreams come true!

The best day we could have ever imagined!!

From start to finish Java were on it, any questions we had or worries they were sorted instantly!
We booked Java Tipis 2 years in advance without viewing any other venues as we knew we were in good hands and the tipis were the style we were looking for.
They took the pressure off us and gave us a nudge in the right direction of who to book etc!
Our wedding day went so quickly and we just loved every second, it ran so smoothly thanks to Martha and her team.
The weather was great and we were so lucky to have the tipis completely open on the one side, really gave us the outdoor feel that we were wanting.
Martha gave us so much choice for the table decor and it was great to cut the cost of trying to source items ourselves. The tables looked fantastic on the day and everyone said how amazing the set up was.
I would 100% recommend this company, they gave us the best wedding we could have wished for.
Thanks again Java! We wish we could do it all again!

Can’t Recommend Enough!

We got married at Redbank Barn in September 2019 and we’re lucky enough to have Martha and her team at JAVA tipis with us every step of the way! Our day would not have even come close to what it was without them!

From our initial consultation with Martha right through to the big day I knew we were in great and experienced hands! We were able to discuss our budget and vision for our day before building a realistic plan of where the money was going with fab advice on suppliers that would fit within this - without this invaluable help I wouldn’t have even known where to start!

I took a very relaxed approach to the day which would have just resulted in absolute disaster were it not for Martha and her team, I might have emailed and booked the suppliers but Martha coordinated and organised the entire thing, I just gave her the names and numbers of the suppliers and she did the rest - the whole day went without a hitch! She even rescued the wedding cake which had not traveled well and came to my house on the big day to pick up various different bits and pieces I had forgotten to drop off the day before!

They also did a fantastic job of the venue and the decoration - it was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned!

Not only do you get the amazing organisation and experience you get an incredibly friendly, wonderful bunch of people to share your day with! - and if there is anything at all you need to talk about beforehand - wedding related or not - Martha is there for you!

Could not recommend these guys enough! 5 star all round perfect service!

Stunningly Enchanted - A dream team

We didn’t necessarily go in search of a Tipi wedding.... we hadn't heard of them prior however my husband and I met with Martha and that old saying of ‘people buy people’ springs to mind. Not only did she sell the Tipi wedding ethos to us but she promised she’d help make our dream day a reality. After a change of location and seeing the tipis in all their glory, I knew we’d made the right decision. Over the next year Martha helped make our dream day exceed our expectations, she offered me her invaluable experience of Wedding planning; She completely guided me through the process, when I needed to do certain tasks and also seeking out suppliers if I required them. Martha ensured that everything went to plan and nothing was ever too much trouble for me to seek her help with.
I can’t thank her enough for her chilled out approach and reassurance (which any bride would benefit and appreciate) that she provided not only on the day but running up to it too. I’m now proud to call her my friend. The Tipis really are stunningly magical. Enchanting and so typically English, A fantastic alternative to any Manor House, Castle or Garden but by no means a comparison. Our day was everything and more, Thank you so much to Martha and Nick, an absolute dream team.

Bar structure hire

Would highly recommend Java. I used their bar hire only but the setup was fantastic. Sadly we had some bad weather during the morning which ruined the marquee that was set up but luckily the staff and event manager worked there butts off to rearrange the bar (into a much better setup) before myself and husband had arrived. Efficient set up the day before and all the staff were brilliant. Highly recommend.

A fantastically helpful company with great value for money Tipis

We were extremely happy with our experience with Java Tipis. From booking to construction the staff were all extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They helped us with logistics and planning, and provided us with lots of useful decor items, many included in the price. The team constructing the tipi were efficient and briefed us thoroughly with various bits and pieces to make the experience easier and more enjoyable. Everyone who attended our day was extremely complimentary of the Tipi and it looked fantastic with the festoons and lighting. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering using them for their wedding or other big events.
