Sizing the Tent for your Event

1.  How many people are you planning on inviting?  Chair spacing is critical when you are laying out your seating arrangement.

2. Would you like to have people sit at round tables or rectangular tables?  While rectangular tables will accommodate more seats, round tables provide the opportunity for everyone at a table to visit with each other.

3. Will there be dancing?  Dance floor space is critical when prioritizing the square footage you require under your tent.  Most events with dancing designate at least a 12’x12’ area for people to congregate.

4. What is the plan for lighting?  For evening events, lighting is customized based on the size of your tent.  For longer tents, it is critical to remember that power will need to be sufficient to fully utilize all of the lights.  It is also important to think about how you’d like to utilize lighting.  Will people need enough light to read?  Will reduced lighting provide a casual dining atmosphere?
