| WHAT SIZE TENT DO I NEED? |
Wedding or Garden Party
The typical wedding or garden party under a tent will require space for guests to be seated at round tables, as well as space for buffet, head tables, bars and dance floor. Although every party has unique requirements, the general rule for this type of party is to allow 18 square feet per guest.
Cocktail Parties
Since there isn't the need for as much furniture at a cocktail party,(minimal seating, smaller food stations, etc.) the space allowance can be reduced to 10-12 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 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 event deserves to be looked at individually. Be sure to check with the caterer or band for any special needs.
