Party Rentals will help make your event special. A great event does not just happen. Planning and attention to detail can be the difference between success and failure. A tent can help set a mood and elegance that cannot be matched any other way. This is not the end though; tent decoration, lighting, tent liners, dance floors, tables, chairs, linens etc. all combine to set the mood. Party Rentals can be your one stop for all your needs.

What size tent do I need?

Weddings and Garden Parties:
The typical wedding or garden party under a tent or canopy will require space for guests to be seated at round tables, as well as space for buffet, head tables, bars, and dance floors. Although every party has unique requirements, the general rule for this type of party is to allow 15 square feet per guest.

Cocktail Parties:
Since there is not the need for as much furniture at a cocktail party, (minimal seating, smaller food stations, etc.) the space allowance can be reduced to 10 square feet per guest.

Ceremony or Row Seating:
For wedding ceremonies or public assemblies, one must allow for the chairs, space between the rows, aisles, and the space required for the podium and / or stage. The suggested allowance is 8 square feet per person.

Please remember no two functions are alike. Each purpose deserves to be looked at individually so that the exact size of marquee can be determined based on your personal needs and preferences. The above figures are just guidelines. Be sure to check with the caterer or band for any special needs
