Located on an 800-acre working farm, the focal point is our majestic tipis, standing tall amidst the lush landscape. You’ll have a dedicated team member allocated to your special day from the point of booking. Our team are on hand from start to finish, to support you through your whole Wedding experience and will be there with you on the day.
How it works
We have two package options to chose from, day hire or two day hire. With our day hire package, you have access to the venue at 10:30am on the day of the Wedding. With our two day hire package you will get access to the venue the day before 10am to 3pm to set up, and then access from 10:30am on the day of the Wedding. Someone from our team will be on site to greet any suppliers so you can switch off and relax into your morning Wedding preparations. The night must come to an end, with the music finishing at 11:45pm and then the venue closing at 12am. We’re lucky enough to have a cab company based on site and they ensure all guests get home and then the venue is closed and locked by our security team.
Food & Drink
Here at Tip Top Venues, we like to give you as much creative freedom as possible with exclusive hire of our Lakeside location. We do ask that you use one of our recommended catering suppliers, but the rest is over to you decide. With seven handpicked caterers to choose from, whether your vision is an elegant plated dinner, a family style inspired buffet, or a rustic food truck, our caterers specialise in curating menus that reflect your tastes and preferences.
We’re lucky enough to have an in house licensed bar, offering a seamless service experience. We understand that every couple is unique and your preferences may vary, which is why we offer personalised bar packages that can be tailored to your needs.
