Element Tipis is a Canterbury, New Zealand event business specialising in tipi hire for weddings, corporate functions, and other gatherings. Offering an alternative to traditional marquees, the company creates distinctive, cosy spaces for dining and celebrations, from private backyards to off-the-grid locations. Its spacious tipis can be arranged in customisable layouts and styled with decor to suit both intimate events and larger occasions.

Element Tipis supports clients through event planning, including advice on locations, setup ideas, tipi sizes and layouts, and recommendations for partner providers. Its services extend beyond tent hire: the team can coordinate catering through Food by Fire, with options ranging from whole hog to s’mores, and provide bar service through the Bedford Bar Truck. Guests can also enjoy the company’s “Dine Under the Stars” experience, while tipi accessories are available to book.

Based in Christchurch, Element Tipis serves events across Canterbury and beyond. The business is part of Base Hospitality Group, alongside Food by Fire and Base Pizza.
