1. Where can I have a teepee wedding?
Finding the perfect location is one of the first steps. The beauty of a teepee wedding is that your venue can be almost anywhere – from rolling countryside fields to your family’s back garden. All you need is a flat space and access for vehicles during set-up.
How we help: We’ve worked across Yorkshire and beyond, and can advise on suitable locations or work with your chosen spot to make sure it's teepee-ready. If you're looking for a recommended teepee wedding venue, we’ve got a little black book of favourites to share too!

2. What’s included when I hire a teepee?
When you hire a teepee from BAR Events UK, you’re not just getting the structure. We can include all the essentials – flooring, lighting, furniture, even a fire pit to create that cosy glow. We also offer extras like chill-out furniture, dance floors, and even glitter stations for the fun stuff!
How we help: We’ll guide you through what’s included, help you choose the right number of teepees for your guest list, and customise the layout to suit your vision – from ceremony to late-night party.

3. What happens if it rains?
British weather is unpredictable – but your day doesn’t have to be. Our teepees are weatherproof, and we can install additional matting, pathways, and heating to keep guests warm and dry.
How we help: We’ll assess your site and offer honest advice on weatherproofing options. Plus, our experienced team are on hand during set-up to make sure everything’s secure, no matter what the forecast says.

4. Can you have a bar inside a teepee?
Absolutely – and it’s one of our favourite parts! A bar brings your wedding to life, and our team can provide everything from simple bar structure to fully staffed service with cocktails, draught beers and personalised drinks menus.
How we help: Our event bar services are tailored to your needs. Whether you want a welcome drink, a paid bar or an open tab, we’ll take care of the licensing, stock, staff, and setup – so you can focus on the fun.

5. What about toilets, power and lighting?
Outdoor weddings need a few extra practical touches. Power, luxury loos and lighting may be essential, depending on your chosen venue, and planning them properly ensures everything runs smoothly.
How we help: We’ll walk you through the logistics – from recommending trusted suppliers to organising power solutions that fit your site and requirements. Our teepees come with beautiful ambient lighting already included.
6. Can I see the teepees before I book?
Yes! We know it helps to step inside the space and visualise your day. That’s why we host Teepee Showcases, where you can see our setups in full swing, chat with our team, and meet some amazing local suppliers.
How we help: Keep an eye on our events page, follow us on Instagram or sign up to our newsletter to be first in line for the next Teepee Showcase event – the perfect start to your planning journey.
