They say, “All good thing’s come to those who wait”, and for the majority of us who have had to be super patient in these worrying times, I hear you!

I have no doubt that we all deserve something that little bit extra special to mark the end of probably the most crazy times of our lives. We will endeavour to get our lives back on track and we will do our upmost to help you go forward and strive towards creating one heck of a good knees up! And god knows we need it!

' So, get your glad rags out, choose the shoes, and prepare yourselves for a proper good shindig'.

For we believe that positivity is the way forward, and if we can help you to manifest the best day of your lives with our innovative ideas and enthusiasm, we’re sure that between our team and you, we’ll create a fantastic space to welcome your loving guests.

What We Offer
We provide an alternative to what you would usually associate with wedding marquees. We provide yurts that are not the usual space you might think of. In fact our largest yurt is not even circular, it’s an elongated yurt structure, with the most magnificent sky light that spans the whole roof section, flooding the space in natural light during the day, and revealing the night sky after dark. It truly is a wonderful venue and something quite unusual.

Our Yurts
We arrive at your venue and build magnificent yurts, podding smaller ones off the main yurt to create separate special places, encouraging your guests to flow from one space to the next. They can grab a drink at the bar, relax in the yurt lounge and enjoy the banquet and speeches in the main yurt. We have lights, staging, a sublime PA system, a catering tent and more. We think we have most areas covered and for those extra bits we don't already stock, I go the extra mile to find a local supplier who fits the bill.

Our Boho Supplier Values

Lizzie Spooner from Alternative Wedding Tents
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE WORK PRACTISES
Our tents are all hand-crafted over in our off-grid yurt making workshop at WoodSmoke Yurts in Somerset. We make every effort to ensure we carefully select timber from our local sustainable woodland and pour all our love sweat and tears into creating beautiful spaces for you. Our fabric is provided by a UK based company.

We search for companies as local to your venue as possible to provide the extra's that we don't stock, for example, generator hire, glassware hire etc. We also support local breweries as much as possible when we stock the bar.


OVER DELIVER - EXCEED YOUR WEDDING CLIENTS WANTS & EXPECTATIONS
We’re sure not only you, but all of your guests will be positively swooning over our tents as they sip cocktails and bubbly from our yurt bar, banquet in the main yurt on our rustic tables and benches, dance their socks off on our dance floor and chill out around the fire bowls in the cool summer night air.

As you mingle with the most important people in your lives who gather to celebrate you, you’ll be met by love, light and creativity, whether you choose to dry hire the yurts and use as a blank canvas or opt to select one of our pre-made inclusive packages, we’re sure we have something that’s worth every bit as much as you and yours deserve.

Check out our website for an abundance of photos of past real weddings and hopefully you’ll find inspiration and the urge to move forward with your plans and give us a call or drop us an email. I’ll personally get back to you straight away and you’ll know I’ll be there every step of the way to help create the wedding day you’ve been dreaming of.


ADVOCATE REPRESENTATION - ENABLE YOUR AUDIENCE TO FEEL A SENSE OF BELONGING WITHIN THE UK BOHO WEDDINGS ARENA
We are based near the legendary Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, and much of our inspiration has come from years of working on the festival circuit, providing spaces, running yurt making workshops and becoming a dab hand at organising important events as a result.

We have worked with a whole host of creative people who know what to throw in the mix to give you that boho experience, from flag makers to walk about performers, wood-fired pizza to vintage fascinators, you name it, we’ve probably got a contact or know someone who does.

Let us take you on a journey from your initial idea to the final big day, let your ideas come alive within our alternative wedding tents!

REVIEWS
We had a wonderful experience with Alternative Wedding Tents who contributed to our fantastic wedding in June 2019. We used the build your own package which was competitively priced and easy to use. Lizzie and Ben are a great couple, were reliable, and easy to communicate with. The tents themselves, in my opinion, look better in real life than in the pictures on the website. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather for our wedding day and with the top open and sides down on the SkyBarn Yurt you could not ask for more! It was perfect. We also had the entrance, lounge and bar yurt which completed the ideal wedding tent set up for our rural setting. In terms of the set up Ben and his team were a delight to have on the farm. Super nice relaxed people, but also very hard working. We genuinely had a great time with them and this only added to the overall experience. Honestly no negatives from the entire experience, Alternative Wedding Tents was a big part of our perfect wedding day, so thanks guys!

Lizzie and Ben at AWT were absolutely perfect for us. They worked carefully with us to build the exact package that we needed for our big day. Their flexibility and support in what was a first for us (organising such a big day!) was invaluable. On the day, their care and competency meant that we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're thinking about having a marquee wedding - go that step further and use AWT. Their yurts are beautiful and fully dressed they become a magical place until the quick disassembly. I could not recommend them highly enough.
Paul and Alex Draper
Thank you Ben & Lizzie for a fantastic 'above and beyond' contribution to our day. Your attention to detail was wonderful and it was a pleasure to meet you both. The yurt was perfect for our day and we wouldn't have changed a thing. We're so pleased that we found you and had so many comments about the yurt since our day. Thank you :)"
