So how exactly do you choose the right tent size for your event? Today, we’re sharing our top tips to help you! Let’s take a look.
Step 1: Define your event
Before anything else, you need to know what you will need. So sit down and define your event. What kind of event will it be? Will it be a formal event? Is it a casual sit down with food to be served? How many people are you expecting to attend? Will your guests be seated for the whole event or will there be a dance party? How is the weather looking around the date of the event? These are some of the things that you need to put into consideration in order to choose the right tent. Remember, the comfort of your guests and their feedback will define your success!
Step 2: Decide on a tent type
There is a variety of tents that can accommodate any number of guests. Thus, it is paramount that you pick the right tent type for your event. Take the time to research on the different tent types and select the style that best suits your event.
Traditional Tents
These are typically used on patios during warmer months. Usually, these tents are used for small group gatherings and have no interior pole support.
Pole Tents
These lofted shaped tents peaks on the top like mountains due to its center pole support and interior poles.
Gable End Tents
Gable end tents are similar to traditional tents but have fabric panels with a scalloped edge on its ends to create a formal entryway.
Marketplace Tents
This type is perfect for all kinds of events. Its roofline peaks with several interior poles support similar to pole tents. However, what makes this type different is its ability to support side panels to protect guests from inclement weather such as gusts of wind and rain.
Pergola Tents
Pergola tents are perfect for outdoor events and receptions. Although guests may be exposed to the outdoor elements, this type of tent supports overhead beams for better lighting and entertainment such as screens and speakers.
Step 3: Create the right design
This is where the detailed planning of your event matters. Create a design that accommodates not only your guests but also the furniture pieces to be used at the event such as tables, chairs, walkways, and lighting.
