Party Tents |
|
|
The
Use of Party Tents for weddings and receptions is
becoming
much more popular.
Brides
are looking for offsite locations where they can have
unique, and personalized weddings, with truly
individualized ambiance. Examples of outdoor, off-site
locations include: private homes, historic sites, farms,
wineries, amusement parks, gardens and parks.
With big
weddings back in style and spaces to accommodate them at
a premium, people have migrated to tented events, and
have been delighted with what they've found.
We can
install floors, dance floors, stages, ceiling fans,
carpeting, heating or cooling, and of course lighting.
Perimeter lighting creates a nice effect as it is
installed around the complete perimeter of the tent.
Twinkle lights can be draped from the top of the tent to
the sides. Par lights can be directed toward the
ceiling and the addition of colored gels will certainly
enhance the mood. Ceiling liners are available to add
the ultimate touch of elegance.

TENT WEDDING RECEPTION
CHECKLIST |
|
| |
The
average wedding requires 15 to 20 square feet of space
per person. Buffets generally require more room than sit
down dinners. |
|
 |
Any additional tents for the
ceremony, cocktails, cooking or restrooms. Consider
covered walkways or connection marquees. In order To
keep wet weather from disrupting your event, use tents
to keep guests under cover the whole time. |
|
| |
Generators
for heating, cooling, lighting cooking, or musical
equipment. |
|
| |
Additional
equipment for cooking or food preparation |
|
| |
Risers
and dance floors (for safety reasons, you should
always install dance floor on a solid surface) |
|
| |
Tables/table linens and chairs/chair covers w/ sashes. |
|
| |
China, flatware, and glassware |
|
| |
Lighting
for the tent and surrounding area |
|
 |
Portable
restrooms and wash stations, if no facilities are
available at your location. |
|
| |
Reserve your equipment at least six months in advance. |
|
| |
Investigate
local ordinances for your site. You may be
required to secure permits for tent installation and
many areas have rules that can affect crowd size,
parking and noise levels. |
|
| |
Logistical
questions include: Is there adequate space to erect the
size tent I’ll need? Is there enough space around the
tent to stake the tent adequately? Are there any
overhead obstructions that would interfere with the tent
or create safety hazards? How far in advance will I have
access to the site for setting up the tent? Tents
cannot be erected during windy conditions, so it’s a
good idea whenever possible to schedule tent
installation for a few days before the event. |
