Sizing Your Tent Rental

Planning an outdoor event? Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or festival, choosing the right size tent is crucial for ensuring comfort and safety for your guests. Here’s a breakdown of factors to consider:

1. Guest Count:

  • The most fundamental factor. Determine the number of attendees you expect.
  • Factor in additional space for walkways, food stations, and restrooms.

2. Seating Arrangement:

  • Round Tables: Allow 60″ between tables for comfortable movement and service.  
  • Oblong Tables: If tables are back-to-back, allow 36″ between them.
  • Theatre Style: Ensure 36″ between rows of chairs.
  • Classroom Style: Maintain 36″ between tables when seating is on one side.

3. Dance Floor (if applicable):

  • Plan for approximately 4 square feet per person on the dance floor.

4. Additional Space:

  • Account for food and beverage stations, restrooms, coat check, and any other amenities.
  • Consider a buffer zone for unexpected needs or inclement weather.

5. Tent Type:

  • Frame Tents: Versatile and adaptable, frame tents can be set up over any surface, offering flexibility in size and shape.
  • Pole Tents: Great for large and small events over grass or asphalt

6. Weather Considerations:

  • If you’re in a region with unpredictable weather, opt for a tent with sidewalls.

7. Budget:

  • Tent rentals come in various sizes and styles, each with a different price point.  
  • Set a budget and choose a tent that fits within your constraints.
