There is something truly special about a wedding held at home. For this celebration, The Highfield Event Group were delighted to transform a private garden into a magical wedding venue, combining the natural charm of a tipi with the comfort and flexibility of a fully styled event space. From the relaxed daytime setting to the lively evening party, our team created a venue that felt personal, welcoming and entirely unique to the couple.
A Relaxed Tipi Wedding in a Private Garden
A private home wedding offers a wonderful sense of intimacy, and tipi hire is the perfect way to make the most of an outdoor space. Set on the lawn and opening directly onto the garden, the linked tipis created a striking yet relaxed structure, with soaring canvas peaks, exposed wooden poles and open sides that blurred the line between inside and out.
The natural materials of the tipis lent themselves beautifully to the setting, allowing the surrounding garden to become part of the celebration. It is a style of wedding marquee hire that suits couples looking for something a little different, full of character and warmth.
Natural Styling for the Wedding Breakfast
Inside, the tipis were dressed for a long and leisurely wedding breakfast. Banqueting tables ran the full length of the structure, finished with soft neutral linens, blush napkins, candles and delicate floral details in clusters of glass bottles. Rustic crossback chairs completed the look, while trailing greenery and fresh foliage were draped overhead, lit by warm fairy lights threaded along the poles.
Thoughtful touches were everywhere, with each long table playfully named after a different country. It was a beautifully natural and personal setting, perfectly suited to a relaxed celebration in the heart of a private garden.
An Evening Dance Floor and Starlit Ceiling
As day turned to evening, the celebration moved into full swing. A classic black and white dance floor took centre stage, framed by a dramatic starlit ceiling, glittering mirror balls and rich blue and purple lighting. With a stage set for live music and a full sound and lighting setup ready to fill the space, the atmosphere shifted effortlessly from elegant dining to an unforgettable party.
This kind of transformation shows just how flexible a private home wedding can be, offering a calm and natural daytime experience followed by an energetic evening under the stars.
Bringing a Private Home Wedding to Life
Delivering a wedding at a private home takes careful planning and a great deal of behind the scenes work. Our experienced team managed everything from the installation of the tipis and dance floor through to the styling, lighting and on the day support, working closely with the couple and their suppliers to bring the whole vision together.
Hosting a wedding at home allows couples to celebrate somewhere truly meaningful, and our role is to make that as seamless and stress free as possible. From the first frame raised to the final detail in place, we take care of it all so the day can be enjoyed to the full.
