Planning a beautiful outdoor Tipi wedding? While nature provides a stunning backdrop, you'll need to ensure you have the right equipment to keep everything running smoothly. A generator is one of the most essential components for an outdoor wedding, and here’s why:


  1. Powering the Lights and Décor

    Tipis create an enchanting atmosphere, especially when adorned with fairy lights, festoon lights, our dimmable spotlights and a mirror ball. A generator ensures all your lighting elements work perfectly, creating a warm and inviting ambiance as the sun sets.


  2. Keeping the Music Alive

    Whether you have a DJ, live band, or just a playlist on a sound system, music is key to a great wedding celebration. A generator ensures uninterrupted power for your speakers, microphones and instruments so the party never stops.


  3. Catering and Bar Equipment

    Many catering services rely on ovens, hot plates, refrigerators and coffee machines. If you’re offering a full-service bar, blenders, ice machines, and coolers will also need power. A generator guarantees your food and drinks stay fresh and your guests are well taken care of.


  4. Toilet Facilities

    If your wedding is in a remote location, you may be renting luxury portable toilets, which often require electricity for lighting, running water, and flushing toilets. A generator will keep these facilities fully functional throughout the event.


  5. Heating

    If your wedding is in the spring, autumn or winter months or even early / late summer when it can get chilly in the evenings, you might need to hire an indirect marquee heater (which we can organise for you!). A generator will provide power for the heater as well to ensure your guests remain comfortable no matter the weather temperature.


  6. Photobooth / anything else!

    If you’re adding any extras on, for example a photobooth /  your photographer wants somewhere to charge their equipment etc, a generator can provide power for all of these extras.


By hiring a reliable generator, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your outdoor Tipi wedding will go off without a hitch, ensuring your big day is as magical as you envisioned! We can organise a generator for you, via our sister company, Outdoor Event Equipment Hire (www.oeeh.co.uk) who will supply and run all the cables and sockets you need!
