Today we spent the afternoon playing with how we could use some of our smaller tipi poles. The idea was to create an interesting ceremony piece including some of our items for hire. The Naked Mini Tipi Arbor makes a stunning space, well see for yourself. Our Friend and local pro behind the camera Jodie Rainsford popped round to take a few shots. Featured in the shot today are our gorgeous pine bench seats, they have wide feet so they don't tip or wobble even outside on rough ground. We ... Read More

steph & cam first dance in a tipi wanaka

We kicked off this 2017/18 season with an awesome tipi festival wedding. Everyone was so excited about Steph & Cam's concept for this tipi festival styled wedding. The rumours started to fly, ' they have like 14 bands playing' 'Jack Johnson in playing' and so on. The hype was great, it was stirring things up for a great event which kicked off the season with a bang. Steph & Cam's wedding was our very first event. If Steph & Cam we're feeling nervous about their big day, I think we ... Read More

  • Hey everyone! Popping in to say thanks for all the enquires and bookings in the past week! You know that saying ‘when you buy from a small biz someone does an actual happy dance’? Well yeah that’s me, when you book a tipi from us I do a happy dance (wanna see it)? I dance not just for us but for you too cause it feels good to know that we are going to share the tipi love with YOU! And I know that you are going to totally fall in love with their magic ✨🙏🏼 @daniel_neuman
  • Gathering’s that create memories of gold to last you a lifetime. That’s what it’s all about. That’s what we’re all about. 📷@hannnahbeth
  • You know what tipis are perfect for? A good old backyard wedding or party. So long as we have a spot big enough and flat enough then we can bring the party! Tipis, friends and some good food and you have your self a magical space to celebrate 📷 @baylymoore

  • MAGIC! @tipiluxe @lukemiddlemissphotography
  • Woohoo for level 2! Awesome team work NZ. We are nearly there to be able to do this again real soon 👆🏼 image by @micimageweddings
  • We’re working away behind the scenes here on some blog posts so stay tuned. This one is just in from Katie and Dan, two Wanaka locals. This was a creative and fun DIY gathering with family and friends all pitching in to make it super special. Their pics say it all, they had the best time! Here’s a snippet from the blog: Q. Any advice to future tipi couples that you wished you’d known... A. A tipi wedding is the best time! (and come to it so is being married, we don't know why we didn't do it sooner). Hurry up and just do it, stop wasting your time. Its a super easy and fun. Everyone that came to our wedding just said it was so much fun and I think that is part of the Tipi Magic, it helps people relax and break down a few barriers and ideas people have in their head of how a wedding is 'supposed to be' so they get over it and just have a good ol time. We have some super upper crust portions to our tribes and we were a little worried and a bit hung up about how they would receive what we were up to or wouldn't be into it (possibly because we had been to their weddings and they could not have been more different - think big churches and waterfront plazas), to be honest we think they were the ones that enjoyed it the most! They had a chance to do something so different and out of their zone and that is not something you get to experience everyday, its really cool have been to be able to give that gift and share our most favorite place in the world with our most favorite people in the process! It sounds cliche but just be yourselves! Everyone that is there loves you so much already (that's why they're there!) and just want you to have a good time so just be a bit selfish and do what makes you both super happy!
  • Monday morning Moke Lake amazingness with a bunch of the industry’s best vendors who helped to create this fairy tale wedding. Do you know what I know? I know if you book tipis you will LOVE them and have YOUR fairytale day (that’s what your wedding should be) it should be YOU, it should be your dream and it can come true. I know this because I was you! I too was a tipi bride (more about that soon as we approach our wedding anniversary) but for now I leave you with this dreamy fairytale photo by @katedrennanphotography
