Think of a Wedding Bell Tent Village as your guests' very own bespoke on-site accommodation solution at your venue. Instead of everyone having to book different hotels and sort out taxis, Ysella provides a village of bell tents all set up and ready to go. It means you can keep the party going for longer, hang out with your favourite people, and have a full wedding weekend experience without logistical hassle.
Why Go for a Bell Tent Village?
Choosing a bell tent village is a game-changer for your wedding. Here’s why:
No Taxi Drama: Your guests can simply stroll back to their tents at the end of the night. No need for designated drivers or scrambling to book a taxi at 1 a.m.
Keep the Party Alive: The fun doesn't have to stop when the band does. With everyone staying on-site, you can have a relaxed morning-after brunch or a late-night campfire.
An Unforgettable Vibe: It's a bit like a mini festival just for your wedding! The tents create a relaxed atmosphere that’s way more memorable and fun than a standard hotel stay.
Super Easy for Everyone: Guests traveling from far away have a comfy, convenient place to stay, making it a breeze for them to attend and fully enjoy the celebration.
What's Included in the Service?
Ysella handles everything so you don't have to lift a finger. Here’s what you can expect:
Easy Setup and Takedown: We arrive at your venue, get all the tents and furnishings perfectly set up, and then come back after the wedding to pack everything away. It's totally hassle-free for you.
Tents for Everyone: We provide a mix of single and multi-person tents to suit all your guests. Plus, we offer special, extra-luxe Honeymoon Bell Tent for the Bride and Groom.
We Handle Bookings: Ysella will manage all the guest bookings and payments directly. We give you a dedicated booking link to share with your guests, so you don't have to worry about chasing RSVPs or assigning tents.
Your Furnishing Options
The best part about a bell tent village is how flexible it is. You can choose the level of comfort that works for you and your guests:
Ysella's Fully Furnished tents come with comfy mattresses, duvets, pillows, and stylish touches like rugs and lanterns, giving your guests a cozy glamping experience.
The Honeymoon Bell Tent: This is your private sanctuary! It's often a bit bigger and comes with all the premium extras and beautiful decor, to make it feel extra special.
How many Tents can make a Village? We have up to 30 tents, each sleeping 5-persons. Hiring anything from 5-20 bell tents create a good party vibe. When you offer a bell tent village, you’re not just providing a place to sleep—you’re creating a central hub that makes your wedding weekend even more joyful and memorable for everyone.
Bell Tent Village Extras: what to include to make your event run smoothly
1. The Importance Signage:
Your wedding venue might be in a field, a rustic farm, or a hidden woodland. Without clear directions, it’s easy for guests to get lost. This is where well-thought-out signage becomes crucial.
Essential Navigation: Directional signs are a practical necessity. They guide guests from the car park to the ceremony space, the reception tent, and, of course, the bell tent village.
Adding to the Vibe: Beyond their practical use, flags and signs are a key part of your decor. Large, colourful event flags can mark the entrance to the village, while smaller signs can label specific areas like the "chill-out tent". They reinforce your wedding theme and add to that whimsical, festival-like atmosphere you're trying to create.
2. The Comfort Factor: Why On-Site Shower and Toilet Facilities are a Must
When your guests are staying in bell tents, they’re essentially camping—but it's a wedding, not a scout trip! Providing high-quality, clean toilet and shower facilities is not just a nice touch; it’s a non-negotiable part of being a thoughtful host. There's a wide range of portable facilities available, from standard mobile toilets to luxurious "glamping" units that feature proper flushing toilets, hot running water, and elegant decor.
Elevating the Experience: We can offer an All-Inclusive Glamping service. A boutique hotel concept can offer a concierge team, welcome drinks & breakfast.
In short, while the bell tents themselves are the star of the show, it's the supporting cast—the flags, signs, and excellent facilities—that ensures your wedding village is not just beautiful, but also a practical and thoroughly enjoyable experience for everyone.
