Glamping weddings across New Zealand
Outpost, by Nomadic, builds glamping and camping villages for weddings. Our crew delivers, pitches and packs down furnished bell tents at your venue, so your guests can stay on site in comfort and style.
We have delivered more than 150 weddings since 2016, with depots in the North and South Islands.
It all began with a wedding of our own. With only one provider in the market at the time, Savannah and Josh Purcell (pictured) bought 30 tents and camped their own wedding, knowing they could resell the tents afterwards. Friends began asking to hire them, and Nomadic grew from there. Now, with two little ones in tow, they have stepped off the tools and guide the crew.

Wedding glamping questions
To enable a tidy aesthetic all of our bells are 4.5m regardless of the fitout. This creates a nice uniform village and simplifies our at scale logistics. For spacing, we request a minimum of 6m per tent side by side. Where necessary, we can go even more compact at the client's request, though we do not recommend it.
We deliver, pitch and pack down a village of furnished bell tents at your venue, and your guests stay on site. You choose a comfort level for the tents: Glamping, Camping Plus or Camping.
Glamping tents sleep up to 4 people, and Camping Plus and Camping tents sleep up to 5. Hire is priced by berth, which is a sleeping space: one queen bed is 2 berths. Our queen mattresses are made up of two narrow singles, and we get a lot of positive feedback on their comfort.
Yes. Our online booking portal means you do not have to manage your guests yourself. Share a link on your wedding website or RSVPs and guests book direct with us.
We quote each wedding individually. We start with a base hire cost, then add labour, freight and any other expected costs, like crew accommodation, and send a quote table with prices for every option. Your quote includes delivery, pitching and packing down, rental and mileage, based on your dates, location, number of tents and comfort level.
A 20% deposit of the estimated total confirms your reservation, and the balance is paid before the wedding. The minimum charge is 75% of the booked amount. We ask for your final list of tent configurations and numbers three weeks before the event.
We provide external lighting at no extra charge, and tent names so guests can check themselves in.
Ideally we liaise with one or two people coordinating the wedding. We also ask for flexibility with set-up and pack-down times, so we can work around other events and any dire weather.
Send your date, venue and approximate number of tents through the enquiry form below, email events@nomadic.co.nz or call 07-213-2301. We are happy to arrange a video call too.

David and Jodie's wedding
Thank you so much Nomadic for bringing our glamping wedding to life and treating our guests to the fanciest farm accommodation they could have hoped for – I definitely got a few comments on how cute the fairy lights and lanterns were. Josh was incredible to deal with and his communication was brilliant all the way through the process. Thank you Nomadic! It was an absolute pleasure.
