Sailcloth - Elite Tents

AN AMAZING ALTERNATIVE TENT FOR YOUR SPECIAL EVENT…

Sailcloth tents offer an equally unique yet very different option than our tipis. These luminescent sheer top Aurora sailcloth tents will literally make your event glow.

Like the tipis they have traditional wooden poles, and high points within the roof. But these tents are opal in colour, a pearlescent white and are beautifully elegant. Hiring a Sailcloth for your wedding or event means you can have the traditional white theme and is a real favourite with photographers because of its bright interior.

Sailcloths are traditional and yet still very different from a standard marquee

We imported the Aurora Sailcloth Tent from the United States in response to brides who feel that ‘some weddings just have to be white’! They are incredibly popular across New England and are very similar in style to Sperry Tents, having completely clear sides so that the view can be seen even if they need to be closed up to keep out the elements. Alternatively the sides can be raised or removed to have a completely gorgeous open sided venue for your event allowing you to bring the outside in, just as we always have done with the tipis.

Fabulous variations to suit you and your guests

The sailcloth tents come in four sizes, from a round, one peaked set up which can hold 80 guests, plus a bar and dance floor, right up to a four peaked 32m long venue for up to 300 guests. The sailcloth tents really are magnificent; they can be dressed traditionally, for example with candelabras and round tables but also have the versatility to be as rustic and informal as you would like.

It was absolutely magical...

We would like to say a massive thank you to all the team at Elite tents. We had our tipi wedding in April 2018 and it was absolutely magical. The service we received from start to finish was just outstanding and they did everything to make our day so perfect. I always thought it would be difficult booking this sort of wedding but after just querying about it and getting a brochure we had so much information and was so happy to book with them. They helped us find land, our wedding car and recommended caterers to us which we used and were fantastic. We had so many compliments of how beautiful it was and are so happy with how it all turned out. We wish we could do it all over again!! We definitely recommend using Elite tents for any events – you would not be disappointed

If you are thinking of a tipi, I would recommend it and definitely Elite tents.

We chose Elite tents for our wedding in June because on initial contact they were the most helpful. They understood what we wanted and offer exactly what we were after. During our planning they kept in touch and made sure we had all the information we needed. Close to the event they contacted us without having to be chased and liaised with the venue. On the day they arrived on time, and got everything done so efficiently.
The tipis were beautiful and made the whole day magical. Everyone said how lovely it was. If you are thinking of a tipi, I would recommend it and definitely Elite tents.

Soo supportive throught the whole planning process

The Elite team was so wonderful when we met them at the open day that we didn't bother looking at any other companies. The whole team have just been soo supportive through the whole process of our wedding planning and have always been helpful whenever we have had any queries.
