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 100 guests seated, plus a bar and dance floor, right up to a four peaked 26m long venue for up to 300 seated 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.

Continue the journey

I contacted Jacquie and the team at Elite Tents as I was organising my 26th birthday for 40+ people. They were tremendously professional throughout, helping me choose the interiors and extras, and helping me keep within my budget. The setup team were very efficient both putting up and taking down the tipi. Most importantly of all the Big Hat Tipi looked absolutely spectacular! I can’t emphasise enough what a game changer it was for an event which I have thrown a couple of times before. It saved us from an unexpectedly wet British summer, and once we decked it out with some professional speakers, a dj booth, fog machine and UV lights / lasers, it was like being transported into a nightclub. I have had absolutely rave reviews about how remarkable the tipi was. I will definitely be coming back in future. Thanks again! Conrad

Updates along the way

The Elite team were so helpful & were always there for whatever little questions we asked along the way. The service we received before our big day was excellent. With updates along the way and plenty of opportunities to see the tipis at wedding fayres really helped with ideas and how our venue would look on the day.
