THEMED VENUES 27  T he g r e a t ou t doo rs Marry al fresco in a tipi, yurt, or marquee YURTS FOR LIFE (BASED IN DEVON, HIRE NATIONWIDE) These luxury yurts are handmade in Devon using locally sourced hardwood ash that can be tailored to suit each couple’s different needs. The larger yurts measure 30ft (seating up to 70), 33ft (seating up to 100), and 40ft (seating up to 120) and are perfect for both the wedding breakfast and the evening reception. The smaller structures are ideal if couples want to hire more than one to create different areas at their wedding, including the 20ft one that works well as a children’s tent. The Yurt Pod technology means that separate areas can be created by joining two yurts together.

FAIRLOVE YURTS (BASED IN DEVON, HIRE THROUGHOUT THE UK) These hand-crafted yurts are fitted with white canvas covers providing the ideal backdrop for any wedding theme.

Eleven different sizes are available to hire, from a 12ft structure to the 60ft Grand Multi-Yurt that can hold up to 180 guests seated at 18 round tables, or up to 300 loved ones standing for an evening party. Several yurts can be interlinked to form larger structures for each couple’s different requirements. Why not create a chill-out area, a children’s tent or a separate bar area?
