Why glamp
The best weddings keep everyone in one place. No taxis at midnight, no guests slipping off to a Travelodge, no one missing the morning after. They walk from the dance floor to a real bed, and they are back for the breakfast before they have properly woken up. That is what the tents are for: your people together, from the first drink to the last story.

Add-ons
Per tent. Pick what you need. Singles can be arranged as a king. Airbeds available too if you want to keep things light. A 5m bell sleeps up to 4; the 7m Queen takes up to 6.
Atmosphere
£100
String warm festoon bulbs between the tents and along the edge of the village. They run on solar, so there are no cables to trail and no generator to hire, and they come on by themselves as the light drops. The moment the sun goes and the whole village starts to glow is the one your guests photograph.
Just ask us to add it when we quote.
Specialty tents

Free guest booking system
Your wedding gets a private booking page. Send guests one link, they pick their tent, package and nights, and pay direct via Stripe. No spreadsheets, no chasing deposits, no awkwardness. Free for every event, not just weddings.

Dates, venue, rough tent count. A delivery-fee deposit holds the booking.
02
Your own booking page, built around your wedding, your names and your date. Guests book the whole weekend and stay on site with you, a few steps from the party, instead of driving back to a hotel and missing the morning after.
03
Send it to your guest list however you talk to them.
04
Each guest picks their tent, package and nights, and pays direct via Stripe.
05
See the tents fill up in real time: who has booked, who to nudge before the cut-off, and who is sleeping where. On the day we bring everything and crew it all.

Paige and Jack's wedding

Somewhere to gather
Ceremony · dinner · dance floor
The bell tents are where everyone sleeps. For the ceremony, the wedding breakfast and the dance floor, a stretch tent gives you one sweep of canvas that shapes to your venue, attaching to a building or sitting on a slope where a marquee cannot. We can quote the village and the stretch together, with no second delivery charge.

FAQs
A 5m bell tent comfortably sleeps up to 4. Most wedding hosts book one tent per couple plus a few extras for singles and family overflow. For 60 guests, that is typically 15 to 18 tents. The calculator on this brochure will give you a starting number, we firm it up once we know your guest profile.
We build a private booking page for your wedding, hosted on our domain and branded with your names and date. You send the link to your guests. Each guest picks their tent, package and nights, and pays direct via Stripe. We handle their queries and payments, you see everything in a real-time dashboard. Free for every event.
Yes. Guests choose their own package (Unfurnished, Essentials, Luxury) on the portal, and add bed and bedding upgrades if they want. You can let them choose freely, or lock in one package for everyone if you prefer.
Yes. We add a "who are you sharing with" field to the booking form so guests can pair up. There is not an automatic pooling feature, but the info comes through to you.
Yes. The portal can be configured per-night so guests choose which night(s) they want.
Either works. Most couples book through their own portal so the dashboard reflects everyone. Some prefer a separate invoice. Just tell us what suits.
No hard cutoff, but bookings tend to slow about a month out and we usually close the portal a week before your event so we can plan crew and load. Earlier is better for us, but late bookings are usually workable.
Yes. We will send you a sample link so you can click through and see exactly what your guests will see. The live page can also be tested with close friends first if you would like.
Yes. Send through any photos, branding or event details and we will style the page around them.
Each tent gets a sign with the guest names. Easier than numbers and works well for couples sharing.
Yes. You can apply a fixed contribution per tent on the portal so guests see a reduced price. We invoice you for your share once bookings come in.
We pencil you in at no cost as soon as you ask. To lock the date in, we invoice you for the delivery fee, which acts as the booking deposit.
Summer Saturdays book 6 to 18 months out. As soon as your venue is confirmed, lock in the tents.
Yes. Start with a rough estimate, scale up or down as guests confirm. We firm up final numbers about two weeks before the event.
Usually the day before the wedding. For larger setups (20+ tents) we may start two days before. We confirm a build window once your date is locked.
Yes. The Bridal Bell comes fully styled with a double memory foam bed, rugs, cushions and soft lighting. Some couples also add a 7m tent set up with tables, mirrors and lighting as a getting-ready space.
Most venues have a mains point we can run a cable to (we carry around 50m of cabling). For off-grid sites we can supply silent battery units that run lights and hair tools for the morning.
Real raised bed frames available on every tent, not camp beds. Singles can be arranged as a king. Memory foam mattresses and full bedding sets are optional add-ons. Airbeds are an option too if you want to keep things light.
Most wedding venues with reasonably flat grass work. We have set up at country estates, barns, private gardens, farm venues and outdoor wedding sites across the UK. Send the venue postcode and we will check.
Bell tents are heavy-duty cotton canvas with sewn-in groundsheets. They are weatherproof, and we rig conservatively in exposed venues.
25% deposit confirms the booking. 25% at 6 weeks before the wedding. Final balance, based on actual final tent count, 14 days before. Guest payments through the booking portal go direct via Stripe.
