History of the Yurt

Thought to originate from central Asia and becoming synonymous with the Mongolian steppes the yurt or Ger has become indigenous to a number of countries as far West as Turkey and with variations in design that have evolved over some 3,000 years.

History of the yurt Any design that has evolved over such a long period is hard to beat. Light weight and portable for a nomadic lifestyle (a useful prerequisite for a movable tent) it is also robust, providing permanent shelter in some of the harshest environments.

"LPM Bohemia could not have been better for planning and talking to them worked perfectly over the months, and the team who came and put the Yurt up were brilliant and so helpful, we really did not have any worries at all on the weekend. Highly recommended." Ann , Hampshire, April 2018

I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to you for everything you did in getting the Gyspy Soul party off the ground! From beginning to end you were so helpful and tolerant of my misunderstandings (!) and nothing was ever too much trouble…. From the numerous site visits to having to elevate the structures and overseeing the loos & caravan install. It really was so great having you there and knowing that you had everything in hand and under complete control. The structures that we had worked perfectly for the number and for the theme and really came to life with the flowers inside – the contrasting bright colours with the black lining looked amazing and all the guests have commented on how beautiful everything looked which is great! I have already decided that if ever the time comes… I would like to have the black lined Grand Pavilion for my wedding ☺ ! Gavin & Maymie were both thrilled with the whole evening and have said they have only had amazing feedback. Look forward to working with you again soon.” Amy, Somerset, September 2018

“Working with LPM Bohemia has been nothing but the greatest pleasure ever since booking the tent in January this year, I can hardly believe it ! We have had so many changes and you have been so accommodating and easy to work with, nothing was too much trouble, which for me is very important as ideas do change along the way. The atmosphere in the tent was palpable , it was so full of love I have never experienced anything quite like it. Theodora and Anthonys’ wedding was the happiest day of our lives and you helped to make all this happen. Everyone was bowled over by the tent, it was so elegant with the jungle lining and the fairy lights, it just was the best.” Sophie, Gus and Theodora, Hampshire, September 2018

"We shopped around a bit before we ended up with LPM and it was the best decision. From the first email everything was so prompt and professional, a huge difference to other companies we had enquired about. Our wedding was a bit tricky logistically as it was on an island; we had barges, ferries, tides and weather to deal with and it everyone at LPM couldn't have been more helpful. Once the crew arrived on the island they just cracked on and had a beautiful marquee up in no time, we had a great little 5m tent for our bar outside the marquee and the whole thing just worked perfectly, gorgeous rustic tables, brilliant lighting everything was just spot on. I'd highly recommend LPM, we had peace of mind the minute we started working with them for our wedding" Laura and Heir, Ireland, 2018

I would like to thank ALL the LPM Bohemia team for a great job and for making my life so easy. Chris and yourself were very helpful. All my questions, problems were dealt care and efficiently. The tent looked really beautiful.” Cassie, Gloucestershire, June 2018

“We highly recommend the LPM superstar team for any at home events. We got married July 2018 at my grandmother's house in Wicklow, and as it was a fairly DIY affair, we wanted the tent to go up as early as possible. The LPM team were very accommodating, and started the build the Tuesday before the wedding to leave us plenty of time for set up. The crew were a total pleasure to work with - self sufficient, friendly, accommodating to questions/concerns - and they were able to erect a stunning pole tent in a relatively limited space. The tent itself was really unbelievable and better than we imagined! The beautiful ceiling linings are a must have. We added a yurt to create a separate space for guests which ended up being a big hit. All in all -- if you're looking for something special and a bit different, along with a great team to work with - LPM are your choice!” Sarah & Barry, Wicklow, July 2018

“We were so pleased with the marquee with our wedding, thank you so much for helping us to organise it. We had a wonderful day and so many people commented on how beautiful the marquee was. Thank you for your help.” Alex and Ben, June 2018

We just wanted to say a huge thank to your amazing team at LPM! The marquee was a dream come true, so many people were WOWED - compliments all round. You guys made us feel so at ease and created something so special!” Tom and Sascha, East Sussex, June 2018

“We just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work preparing the marquee for our wedding and thank you for your help and patience helping us work out what we needed. The marquee looked amazing and we had a perfect day!” Leanne and Steve, Kent, June 2018

“We wanted to thank you so much for all your help and for such a wonderful marquee!” Tash and Mike, Kent, July 2018

"Just wanted say a massive thanks to all at LPM Bohemia, you've all been absolute stars, your staff are a credit to you! You've made our special day exceed all expectations!...Thank you again, much love Lennie & Kirby x" Lennie & Kirby, Essex, July 2018

“Thank you so much for making Trinity Ball such a great success. I can't fault LPM's work. I really appreciate your assistance throughout the planning and set up process. Your team erected the Pavilion swiftly and professionally, and the tent was simply stunning. It looked better than we could have ever hoped for- both in the light of the evening and glowing at night. Personally, I believe it to be the most interesting and striking temporary structure I have ever seen at a Ball, or indeed any event. The space inside was perfect for our acoustic venue, it was large enough for a sizeable audience, whilst also feeling intimate due to the concentric circular design.” Trinity Ball, Cambridge, June 2018

“To the fantastic team at LPM Bohemia. Our enormous thanks for all your friendly help and expert guidance in the very early stages and subsequent months, when we had so many decisions to make. The resulting marquee was stunning and exactly as we had envisaged and with the wow factor admired by everyone. Jessica was thrilled! Finally thank you to the super strong team of chaps who erected and then removed our beautiful marquee so efficiently and expertly. You have 100% lived up to your reputation.” Jenny and Eric, Kent, August 2018

“To say the Tabernacle was a success was an understatement. Everyone ADORED it! They wanted us to keep it, if they did not think it was real and always there. The exterior nestled into the hill beautifully and the interior made into the most glorious funky night club. I think every event needs a Tabernacle! Then if you are planning a blessing on a hill in the pouring rain (like we were) you have your chapel on site. It could not have been more perfect. Your team were just so lovely and never for one moment stopped smiling or appreciating our spring water or homemade food. It was a pretty hard build but they embraced it from start to finish. We loved every single second inside it.”

Lillingston Parties - May 2018

“The honeymooners are back which reminded me that I haven't written to thank you for providing such a beautiful marquee, but particularly I wanted to mention Tom and James. They were so incredibly helpful before and after the wedding, nothing was too much trouble and they made a huge difference to the success of the day. They are both great representatives for LPM Bohemia. That's it - no more daughters!!” Jan Robinson, Kent, September 2015

“LPM Bohemia - aside from having the most beautiful marquees I have seen - also have a wonderful team of people both in the office (who never got fed up with an ever-changing order) and delivering/installing their marquees. The whole experience with them was stress-free. We had so many compliments on the marquee on the day. The patterned ceiling is really effective. Cannot recommend highly enough. It made for a truly beautiful day (though I'm probably biased ;-)).” Jessica, Oxfordshire, June 2015

“Thank you so so SO much for everything you did to make our wedding so spectacular and memorable. Tom, your team were an inspiration in hard work and professionalism with a fantastic eye for detail and a pure delight to have around. Charlotte, your management of everything was truly flawless and totally revolutionised the whole experience from planning through to the day itself. You would not believe the flood of compliments we have had and so much down to all your work. We will always remember and be grateful for it all. Thank you so much.” Alex and Peter, Kent, June 2015

“We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all of your help in setting everything up for our wedding day. Sorry we didn't see you afterwards to say thanks in person. We had an absolutely brilliant time and the marquee, yurt, bar and all the lighting was fab so thank you to you and your team for setting everything up. Enjoy the rest of your wedding season. Thanks again.” Lois and Chris, Cornwall, June 2015

"LPM Bohemia were brilliant right through the whole process; advising us on what we needed right though to execution on the day. The marquee looked beautiful and we had so many wonderful compliments from our guests. What LPM offer really can't be found anywhere else and we would like to say a huge thank you to the whole team." Lindsay Fraser, Kent, August 2015

“We have used Bohemia for a number of years now and they have consistently delivered a very professional service throughout. Not only are their tents stunning but also the set up and take down process has always been very efficient.” Development Office, Tonbridge School, Kent, August 2015

“Huge thanks to all members of your team who worked so hard to make our day so special. It was all a great success and a pleasure to work with you guys. I'm sure you've heard it all before, but the glowing compliments about the Grand Pavilion and the Trad just flowed all weekend, and continue to do so in all the letters that continue to arrive. The Grand Pavilion is a truly stunning piece of kit, you should be very proud!” Nick Pownall, Wiltshire, June 2015

"Using LPM was absolutely the best decision! You and your team have been a complete joy to work with. Nothing was too much trouble, no detail too small to matter. I couldn’t be more grateful to you all. Mantas deserves a very special mention – he worked tirelessly all week, behaving as though he was preparing the party for his own wedding. Extraordinary! I wish you all the greatest success in the future which you so richly deserve and thank you so very much for it all.” Marian and Anthony, Surrey, May 2015

“Denise, I’m not often lost for words but I just wanted to try to say a massive thank you for everything you have done to make my 50^th so special and memorable. The marquee was just jaw-dropping and decorations sensational – we have had so many emails and messages from people saying that it is the best party that they have ever been to and that is largely down to you and your enthusiasm and vision and sheer artistic flair!” Carol & Charlie Ridge, Kent, September 2015

“Thanks so much for all your efforts the marque was brilliant and a total success!! Perfect in every way! You were quite right about the dance floor as well - plenty of room. We have already had about 3 friends who are planning on getting married in the near future ask about who we used for the marque so I have passed on your details to them. Once again many thanks for everything and good luck for the summer!” Johnny & Georgiana, Cornwall, May 2015

"The marquee itself was beautiful, and the dance floor, the stage and the bar made for a really good party atmosphere late into the night! LPM's lovely marquee and helpful staff really helped our big day to be all that we hoped it would be.” Richard Farley, Kent, June 2015

“My wife and I, our families and all of our guests loved the extraordinary marquee which LPM Bohemia provided for our wedding. The design is incredible and nothing like any marquee which any of us had seen before. It went a long way to helping the Indian theme of our wedding come to fruition.” Julian Thatcher, Kent, July 2015

"I couldn't have asked for a better tent company for my wedding. Charlotte in HQ was lovely and beyond helpful, and all the guys who put up the marquee itself were extremely efficient and friendly. Most importantly, the marquee looked amazing - we had so many compliments. Thanks so much for everything" Jess, Daventry, July 2015

“I could not have hoped for a friendlier, more cheerful, more supportive crew. They were undaunted by the difficult site and were a pleasure to work with. Many thanks to all and especially the two team leaders. “ Charles Everett – Kent, August 2014

“Couldn’t have been happier with the marquee. You did exactly what we asked and more! The marquee went up so quickly and the guys from LPM were so helpful and friendly. Can’t recommend highly enough.” Shakira Wood - Oz en Oisans, France, April 2014

“You are totally magic! Thank you so, so much.” Lady Emma Fellows – Dorset, July 2014
