When I first began preparing our wedding I was looking for something different for our venue. We were planning to have our outdoor wedding ceremony and a reception on my parent's property and so I began the painful process of looking for a marquee for the reception. Most were typical, white plastic with windows cut out and draping material offered. I definitely knew that was not what we were looking for. As I began to search more and google was offering things like Yurts or giant plastic overthrow sheets...we came across Katalane! I was SO excited when we found them; they were exactly what we were looking for. Something fresh, unique and striking. We knew it would make the perfect addition to our wedding. Katalane was very helpful from the very first email enquiry I sent. David got back to me very quickly with suggestions, prices, seating charts and more. As the day got closer he offered advice on decoration, arranged seating and was willing to answer any little questions I asked. David was extremely helpful, competent and understanding, making the lead up to our wedding day a lot less stressful. The company even made furniture just in time for our wedding, as we were unable to find this beautiful wooden furniture anywhere else. The day before the wedding, David and his team arrived to set up our wedding tipi. It was really exciting to see it all come together and it looked absolutely beautiful in the bush and suited our wedding theme and decorations perfectly. David went above and beyond, also letting us borrow some fairy lights, which looked beautiful around the edge of the tipi. On our wedding day, our guests and we absolutely loved the tipi. People couldn't believe it and kept asking where we had hired it. It really made our day special. For the reception, the tipi had a cozy, comfortable and warm atmosphere, which really added to the vibe of the evening. The wooden furniture was perfect and guests loved sitting on the bench seats in the marquee. It was a magical day in a magical venue. I couldn't recommend Katalane highly enough. They were fantastic and the Tipi-style marquee was amazing. 10 out of 10 read more

Dave & his team at KataLane provided us 2 katas, mini teepee, beautiful fireplace and tables and chairs for our wedding and it was stunningly beautiful! Dave was fantastic to deal with in the months leading up to the wedding, providing high level of customer service, answers to our many questions, very accomodating and helpful! This helped the planning be much less stressful and more enjoyable. They went above and beyond. All our guests are still raving about the amazing teepee! Highly recommend! read more

Katalane provided tipis for our wedding in May and we couldn't have asked for a more special venue for the day. The tipis created such a warm and intimidate atmosphere; we truly had an amazing time eating dancing and toasting marshmallows under the fairy lights with our family and friends. Dave from Katalane could not have been more helpful in the lead up to the day, offering advice on everything from furniture and lighting to the sound system. We won't hesitate to recommend Katalane to anyone looking for an amazing and unique celebration. read more

From the Business
Specialties
We hire Giant Katas (also known as "Teepees") as a stunning alternative to the generic marquee. Servicing all areas of Sydney (and even if you would like a winery wedding) our staff assemble extraordinary Giant Nordic Event Tents known as Katas. These katas are a unique Tipi-style tent originating from the Sami people of northern Scandinavia. The Giant Kata holds 72 peole (seated for dinner) and they can be joined to create a massive marquee for large events.
History
Established in 2012.
Owner David Lavelle got married in a Giant Kata (Tipi) in 2011 on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland. The Katas had such a special influence on their day that David created Katalane to share the Kata experience in the southern hemisphere.

I have a background in building, furniture design and fashion, so all our marquees look great and work. Visually and structurally the tipis and katas are breath taking.
