General

When do you install/remove the set up for my event? 

Wildernest will set up for your event up to five days ahead, depending on the weather. Pack down will again depend on weather, but usually it will be the day following your event. 

Do you charge a bond and require a deposit? 

Yes, we do charge a bond (100% refundable if no damage has incurred). This is $500 for furniture hire and $1,000 for tent hire for weddings, corporate events and private holidays. 

We require a 50% deposit upon confirming your event or hire. The remainder is to be paid 28 days before your event. 

Do you offer complete planning for an event? 

Yes, we offer a complete planning service with as much help as you need. We can take the entire event off your hands and organise every aspect (right down to the smallest detail). We can even keep your event running without a hitch.

We use our creativity and event styling to help design, plan and bring your vision to life.  

How do I estimate the size of an area required to set up a bell tent? 

Each bell tent requires a minimum space of 7m in diameter. This includes the guy ropes.  

I am planning a wedding, corporate, festival or private holiday and don’t know how to calculate the amount of space required. Can you help? 

Please contact us to talk through your ideas. A member of our experienced team can provide details of the space required, whether it includes tents, furniture, amenities and lounge areas to accommodate your guests.
