Everything we could of dreamed of!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more from Aimee and Forest Edge Tipis. Not only is the venue absolutely STUNNING and fit my vision perfectly. The whole process leading up and on the day was seamless. Aimee is clearly so experienced with making everyone feel at ease on one of the most important days. We were on and off with rain, but Aimee knew my preference of having our ceremony outside and held off until the last minute to make sure that dream came true. All our friends and family are still talking about the day, but one of the main focus always comes back to the tipis and how beautiful and different they are. Thank you so much for everything!

The best day of our lives!

Having been a guest at a wedding with Forest Edge Tipis a couple of years prior, we’d already had an insight into the beautiful tipis they had to offer. When attending one of the Sheepdrove open days in a dreary January morning, Aimee kindly showed us a new location at the Sheep Shed and we instantly fell in love with it. The vast countryside, with rolling hills, in the middle of nowhere, was exactly what we envisioned for our summer wedding!

The tipis with beautiful rustic chandeliers and atmospheric fairy lighting truly speak for themselves but being able to have free rein of the space and venue to dress and put our own touches into the Tipi and external areas was what made it really special.

Not only this put being able to hire your own suppliers, again makes the whole day so much more tailor made and personal but fear not, Aimee is on hand with an extensive list of recommended suppliers should you need it.

Having access to the venue the day before was invaluable, it gave us plenty of time to decorate and prep. Aimee and Martin left us to our own devices but were on hand should we need their assistance with anything.

Aimee was very accommodating, approachable and patient (with all my questions!) from start to finish when planning what really was, the BEST day of our lives!

We can assure you, you won’t regret using Forest Edge Tipis for your special day.

Amazing tipis, lovely people, great service

Forest edge were absolutely incredible. Their tipis are beautiful, and you can get lots of extras through them which makes shopping around much easier.
We went for a different site and they were amazing at setting up with lots of time for us to decorate, and taking down promptly too.
The team were flexible, communicative and really lovely.

Thanks so much

Tipi Wedding September 2024

We cannot recommend Aimee and the Forest Edge Tipi team enough! We looked at trying to do a tipi wedding ourselves with a friend's fields but it would have been a logistical nightmare. When you book with Forest Edge Tipi everything is included (generator, toilets etc.) and Aimee is even there on the day and it was a massive help! We had the best day of our lives and so many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had been to!

Absolutely excellent experience from start to finish

Absolutely excellent experience from start to finish. Aimee was never anything less than lovely, helpful, and accommodating right from the start of our wedding party planning, right to the very end.

Our day was magical, and the tipi setting was just perfect - even when the weather did its worst. We had wanted a summery outdoor wedding but on the day it was rainy, and it didn't matter at all, because the tipis were perfectly dry and cosy, lit up with fairy lights, and just beautiful. Aimee let us have one extra tipi than originally planned, and all the fairy lights and ceiling decorations were perfect. We had access to the tipis before and after the event, and the team were always relaxed, helpful, and flexible.

Aimee and her husband, plus their partnership with Joe at Jam Jar Cocktails, are just a total dream team. We could not have done it without them. They put our mind at ease so many times, and let us plan the best event with minimal stress, at a very reasonable budget, in a beautiful location (Sheepdrove farm).

Absolutely fantastic, cannot recommend enough! Thank you so much for helping us have such a memorable and wonderful day :D

Perfect outdoor space

We fell in love with the idea of a tipi wedding as soon as we saw the tipis set up in the woodland of welford park in the sunshine. We loved the idea of an relaxed, outdoor venue with complete flexibility of suppliers and Forest Edge Tipis allowed us to do exactly that. Aimee’s communication was great and her help on the actual day was amazing. We 100% had the best day pf our lives and wouldn’t change a thing.

Forest tipi wedding of our dreams

Just amazing! From the ceremony in the forest to the tipis as our venue, it was perfect and our dream day that suited us so well. Aimee was fantastic from the start and helped us with all the plans and decisions along the way. On the day she could not have worked any harder to make the day go smoothly including picking up our singer from the train station (which we were none the wiser of) and rescuing our evening caterers whose van broke down. We are so grateful and us and our guests had the best time and wish we could do it all over again.

LOVE Forest edge tipis!

We had our wedding with Forest Edge tipis and they were absolutely incredible from start to finish.

Aimee was a huge support throughout the planning process and went above and beyond on the day. We couldn't recommend the team at Forest Tipis enough and wish we could do it all over again!!

Tipi wedding

We hired four giant hats with an additional chill out tipi for our wedding on private land. Aimee and Martin were so helpful in the run up to the day and ensured everything was perfect for us. Aimee even offered to be around for the day to greet other suppliers and support in any way she could. We had the most amazing day and the terrible weather actually meant we used every inch of the tipis. I cannot count how many compliments we have had about them and we absolutely loved the atmosphere they gave.

Teepeerrific!

Forest Edge Tipis were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Aimee and Martin were so lovely and helpful throughout and helped us to create our perfect day. Aimee was there all day on the day to ensure everything ran smoothly and just took the stress out of everything.
The tipi and setting were absolutely stunning and really made our woodland festival theme come to life. Our guests were all amazed when they arrived. It was different from all the other weddings we've been to but in the best way. It was also brilliant to have free rein on what we wanted for the day and none of the restrictions or limited suppliers you find with other venues. It meant we could stay within our budget and still have everything we wanted. If you are looking for a beautiful, relaxed, outdoor wedding then look no further, Forest Edge Tipis will be the best choice you make for your day.

Beautiful location, beautiful tipis

Having our festival-themed wedding at Forest Edge Tipis was an amazing experience. The tipis set up in the middle of all that nature made everything feel so magical and unique. Our guests couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful the venue was!

The location of Forest Edge Tipis is undeniably charming. Tucked away on Sheepdrove Farm, it offered a relaxed and picturesque setting for our wedding day.

Aimee always very helpful and accommodating during the planning process. We felt heard and supported, which was reassuring in the midst of wedding preparations. We loved that we had free reign to do whatever we liked with the tipis and surrounding area to make it truly our own, we had great fun setting up in the two days prior to make it perfect for us.

Thank you so much, we had a great time!
