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.

business. James, Jackie and Bob Parker cover everything
from sales, admin, marketing, crewing and maintenance.

as Intent Productions UK and Tipis4Hire, and have
