Love a
tipi wedding?
Make your wedding venue extra special with our tipi hire
Your wedding day is going to be a special event no matter what you do, but there’s something about hiring a tipi or sailcloth tent for your wedding from Gather & Gold that transforms an outdoor wedding venue and creates an exciting atmosphere for fun to unfold. We know, we tied the knot under a Nordic tipi many moons ago and had the best damn day. Now we want to spread the love and help couples just like you make your I do’s spectacular.
Since our own wedding, we’ve gone on the journey with hundreds of couples, organising everything from formal venue events with seated dinner to the wed-fest style that’s less chit chat and more get down. Whatever your vision, we can provide you with custom floor plans, in-depth knowledge of how to make it a stress free, seamless event and collaborate with you throughout the entire process from plans, wedding venue workings through to tipi set up.
Think of Gather & Gold as your wedding wingmen and women, your Nordic tipi guides and the key to making your big day one to remember in Queenstown, Wanaka and beyond.

Cat & Hayden
Gather & Gold provided the tipis to our Dublin Bay wedding in February 2020. From our initial contact to our wedding day they were fantastic! When I drove up to the wedding site to see the beauty of these tipis against the stunning landscape of Wanaka I was lost for words! We have had so many amazing comments from our guests who couldn’t get over how cool and beautiful the tipis were! We cannot recommend Gather & Gold enough! Every staff member was so helpful and I feel we have made friends for life with this team! Thank you again for playing such a huge part in our perfect day and making it all so easy! You truly are the best! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
