“Shelter Co. set up an entire tent village for our guests on a beautiful, secluded hillside, complete with furnished, canvas tents for guests, hot outdoor showers, a sauna in an Airstream trailer, fire pits, and lots of special little spaces for gathering, games, or quiet reflection.”

“If you have a vision of camping that does not involve roughing it, or are fantasy-planning a birthday/wedding/retreat in some remote, wild land under a blanket of stars, you may have stumbled upon photos of events organized by the founders of Shelter Co…[who] stages elaborate parties and retreats with serious style in remote locations – no hotel rooms (or plumbing) required.”

“What happens when you take an expert at destination event planning and combine it with a love for camping? You have Shelter Co., a company that specializes in pop-up lodging for groups looking for an overnight outdoor experience.”

“The scene, surreal as it is, comes courtesy of Shelter Co., a…design firm that has transported upscale events to the…wilderness and, in the process, created an increasingly popular concept of luxury experiences under the stars…Part of the thrill is the exclusivity of the landscape, as Shelter Co. sets up its tiny towns essentially anywhere that can accommodate a tent.”

“We really wanted to be in the middle of nowhere. No buildings, no traffic. Just natural beauty, golden sunsets, and fresh air. We also wanted to sleep in the meadow all weekend long, and if we wanted to, party and dance all night long. Shelter Co. set up these amazing canvas sleeping tents…with full on beds, nice sheets and warm down comforters. They even fully decorated them with night stands, rugs, and seating areas.”

“They built a small campsite with a dozen Shelter Co. tents for the wedding party to stay in, a nod to their own love of camping. The couple’s biggest takeaway? The parts that were nontraditional….(such as) camping in tents afterward(s)”
