Units 17 and 18, Coxleigh Barton, Shirwell, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 4JL

At World Inspired Tents we provide giant Nordic tipis for weddings and events throughout Southern England, South Wales, the Midlands and beyond.

Whether you are planning a formal country garden wedding or a laid back, toes-in the sand beach wedding, our stunning tipis provide the perfect space for your celebration. A full range of carefully chosen furnishings, lighting and other lovely things can be supplied to help create a really special and unique venue.

The tipis provide a completely flexible structure; any number can be connected to create a single space with capacity for between 50 and 1000 guests. Sides can be raised in summer to take in a view or allow a breeze, or with sides lowered, space heaters, open fires and fairy lights they create a beautiful, cosy venue for a magical winter wedding.

Each customer is assigned a dedicated Event Co-ordinator who works with them from initial enquiry until the tipis are taken down. We provide detailed quotations and floor plans, and will liaise with your other suppliers to ensure a seamless event. With many hundreds of successful weddings under our belts, we have pitched our tipis in family gardens, the grounds of stately homes, on beaches, in woodlands and wildflower meadows. We are happy to carry out free site visits if required, and can recommend tried and tested venues in many counties.

Since starting out back in 2007 we have built a strong reputation as being one of the most professional, reliable and friendly companies in our field. This is backed up by our growing collection of awards, including the title for Best Wedding Marquee Provider which we won at The Wedding Industry Awards in 2012 and 2014. We have a simple but strong company ethos: to surpass client expectation every single time.

Lucy & Joe

"I had a little weep when the tipis came down and the crew drove off! We had a marvellous time and everyone loved the tents. Glyn and the crew were fabulous.......undeterred by hurricane Katia's tail. As you had promised, once up, they stayed that way. Thank you for your calm presence at the end of the phone. A day to remember for the rest of our lives."

"I can not tell you how much we enjoyed working with you guys. The team were just wonderful! The whole thing was seamless, from meeting you initially, all your speedy correspondence and help with the plans - to the set up and clear up – really brilliant. We had the best day and everyone has mentioned how amazing the tents looked in their letters. Can’t wait for the next teepee party – my 30th?!!"

"The tipis were inspirational and the atmosphere was magical. They were impressive, unusual, warm, atmospheric, just marvellous. But it was your level of service that really counted for making our job as parents of the bride so relaxed and enjoyable. Your own role was key, it working out all the detail, being so responsive to all our last minute changes and being so efficient and yet friendly. "

Rachel Rosser

"Wow! The tipis were out of this world - a real show stopper! It was quite a windy day but if anything battening down the hatches made it more cosy and kept everyone in which added to the enjoyment! The team that set it up were just great. Thank you for the tree too! We'll be planting that in our garden at the barn conversion we're doing just around the corner from where we had the party. "

"Thank you so much for all your team's hardwork and preparation in organising the tipis - they were truly magical and everyone commented on how special it was. The fires were a particular hit!

"I can't think of anything that would improve your service. It was a real pleasure dealing with World Inspired Tents from the beginning to the end.
