Marrying spaces together; they seamlessly blend into an environment and have particularly light atmospheres which is perfect for summertime events. Sailcloth tents came to existence in the 1970's, when a Californian sail maker hosted a party by stitching together his used sails to form a basic canopy.

Thank you Cornish Tent Co for supplying the Sailcloth Tent for our wedding at Beacon Crag in August 2021. It was perfect! Jamie was a great help when organising everything and answered every question I had very… promptly. We had a problem with the dance floor being slightly raised from the ground and the guys came out quickly and without any fuss to fix it! Thank you. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Definitely recommend.

You guys are awesome!! We can't thank the team enough for everything you did for our tipi wedding at Rosteague. Jamie and the team were so helpful and responsive from the get go and we really appreciated your patience with multiple changes and questions right up to the day before our wedding. You were all a dream to work with and made everything so easy. Thank you for making our day so perfect. Everyone commented on the tipi and how wonderful it was! All the best, Becca and Pete.

Massive thanks to the team at Cornish Tent Co. for all their help last week erecting the stunning triple tipi tents in our garden for our wedding day!
The team was exceptional and a joy to have around the place either side of the big day. The speed in which they put the tent up was remarkable and the thought that goes into it to ensure that the… marquee is correctly positioned etc was superb.
Would thoroughly recommend and will certainly use again for parties etc in the future
Thanks guys and enjoy the summer! I hope its a bit drier moving forward for you!

Jamie and his team did such an amazing job under very harsh weather conditions for our wedding in September. They were so professional throughout the whole process, made 2 site visits before we booked, gave us so advice, answered emails very quickly and were always happy to help. The Tipi's looked so amazing - we really couldn't have asked for more! Thanks again.

Thank you to Jamie and all the guys at Cornish Tent Co for providing us the most amazing tipi venue for our wedding. Jamie was so unbelievably helpful from the very start and was so quick to respond to any questions we had through the planning process. In the build up getting the tipi ready Jamie and all the boys were so polite and fun to have… around!! And even spared some time out of their busy schedules for last minute tweaks- it was so reassuring! Everyone at our wedding had such a blast, particularly recommend the fire pit! Cheers guys for giving us our dream day! Can’t recommend

We booked the Cornish Tent Company for our wedding reception near Looe and can't praise them highly enough. Jamie and his team were ace, from the moment we met Jamie for a site visit 6 months before the event, to the taking down a packing up of the tipis the day after the party. Jamie was always quick to reply to emails and offer solutions to our queries or specific requests in the lead up to the wedding. His team were friendly and efficient when building the tents (seriously impressive looking tipis that are a million miles away from standard event marquees - our guests were blown away) and when

We had two Tipi’s supplied by The Cornish Tent Company and they were amazing. Jamie and his team arrived to erect the Tipis and worked all day, stopping for an occasional cup of tea and refusing lunch until their work was complete. The team co-ordinated with our Bar people to find the perfect position for the Bar and ensured every detail was covered to make sure everything was perfect. On the night of the party it snowed, which only added to the drama. The flame torches which lit the path to the Tipis were perfect. The Tipis were warm and snug with the fire pit, and looked very dramatic with

Many thanks to The Cornish Tent Company for providing us with the perfect venue for our daughters 21st Birthday Party. The Tipi’s were just what our garden required to add drama and style for the event. Everything ran so smoothly, and your organisation of all our requirements was excellent. We especially admired the fairy lights that you fitted around the main beams, and the fire pit and heating system, which were adequately warm enough for the event on a cold damp March evening. All our friends who attended the event were extremely impressed by the Tipi’s, and, we will be looking to you for

Great, friendly service and Jamie certainly knows his stuff about marquees and tents. It was great to know they had everything under control and were so well organised, as it meant we could enjoy the evening without a worry. Have already recommended these guys to all my friends.

Jamie and his team were fantastic from start to finish when we booked a sail marquee for our wedding in our field. Nothing was too much trouble and the quality of the marquee and furnishings stood out despite the rain which stayed for the day! The lighting and ambience created by Jamie and his team made our day truly magical. We would highly recommend this company to anybody.
