Back
We’re a family run business that loves being involved in special events. We are passionate about working with people, tents, music and being out in the great outdoors.
We have twelve years of event and management experience to offer to clients. Our business operates with a keen eye on our environmental, social and ethical responsibilities. See our environmental policy for more info on how we plan to reduce our carbon footprint and impact upon resources.
WE LOVE CANVAS.
Canvas tents have a long and illustrious history and inspire a feeling within people that the new uPVC shiny marquees cannot. One client came down and inhaled a great draught of air from around our vintage army tent and exclaimed, “Aaaahhhh, I love the smell of canvas. It reminds me of great times growing up and camping with my dad”. Canvas is a natural fabric, hard wearing, tough and has a pleasant buff feel to it. Our tents have been used for fashion shoot backdrops because of their canvas.
I had six honest serving men. They taught me all I knew: their names were Where and What and When and Why and How and Who.
Well, with a little help from Rudyard Kipling, we will answer the “Where and What and When and Why and How and Who” of Over The Moon Tents.
Where?
Over The Moon Tents are based in the midlands of England, a handy location for travelling anywhere in the UK. We have worked in most parts of the country.
What
Over The Moon Tents hire a variety of canvas tents, tipis and yurts , as well as modern Intents, the Party Tent and the Pod Tent . We also provide flooring, lighting , DJ and production services. We have lots of experience to offer and are willing to answer questions, discuss options and be flexible to client’s needs. We are a small company and take pride in offerring good service and a unique tailored product.
When
When do you need us? Tents can go up all year round. More and more weddings are happening in Autumn and Winter, and birthday’s can be anytime of the year. The weather is an ever present figure in our work. Its all part of the service that we plan for the weather’s likely impacts, how it can be mitigated and a great event happen.
Why?
Over The Moon Tents offer a unique mix of skills, garnered over many years working outside to put on fun events that always have impact. Our tent crew’s are a friendly bunch, always willing to accomodate client’s needs’ and proffer advice if asked. We are happy in our work and we want to make the whole process a joy for the clients and their guests.
Our small size means that we offer a personal friendly service. The same person you speak to or email will be the same person who comes to do the site visit, and the same person who comes to put the tents up. None of a client’s requirements is lost in translation as we go through the whole process together.
Clients like our flexibility, it can be a contrast to many hotels and indoor wedding/event venues. Over The Moon Tents is not motivated by ensuring you spend a minimum of £10K as some hotels do. Getting your own venue and having tents can be much more magical AND save you a lot of money. You can often party much later into the night. theme the look and sequence to suit you, and save yourself expensive corkage on drinks by organising your own bar. Over The Moon Tents can provide clients who will testify to our ability. Contact us if you would like to speak to a refererence.
How
Bookings start with a look through our services and tents available on the website. The site is packed with photos, video’s, music and news to give a good overview of what tents we can offer. The next stage is to call us or email to tell us what you are interested in. We are happy to chat and discuss client’s plans.
Following this there may be a site visit and then a quote can be prepared. All quotes are clearly itemised and sent promptly. If all is agreeable to both parties then a 25% of the total hire fee will book Over The Moon Tents. The remaining 75% is payable two weeks prior to the event. Tents are usually erected one to two days prior to the event and removed within three days after.
