FAQ
Tent Rental Questions, Answered
Have a question we didn’t cover? Send us a message and our team will be happy to help.
How early should we reserve our tent?
As soon as you have a date. Late fall through spring is the busiest stretch for events along the Gulf Coast, and the largest tents book first. For big celebrations, reserving three to six months ahead gives you the best selection.
What size tent fits our guest list?
Tent size depends on how guests will spend their time. Use these ranges as a starting point:
- Standing cocktail reception: about 10 sq. ft. per guest
- Seated dinner at round tables: 12–15 sq. ft. per guest
- Long farm-table seating: 10–12 sq. ft. per guest
- Ceremony rows: 8–10 sq. ft. per guest
Plan extra room for a dance floor, bar, buffet, band, or lounge area. Share your guest count and layout ideas and we’ll recommend the right size.
Is setup and takedown included?
Yes. Our crew installs your tent along with sidewalls, lighting, flooring, and staging, then returns after the event to take everything down. Furniture setup is available for an additional fee.
Will we need a permit?
It depends on where your event is and how large the tent will be. Requirements differ between the City of Sarasota, Sarasota County, Manatee County, the City of Venice, and island towns such as Longboat Key. We’ll help you figure out what applies to your address and provide the tent documentation needed for your application.
What if the weather turns?
Weather along the Gulf Coast can change quickly, especially with summer afternoon storms. Our tents are built for outdoor use, and sidewalls, rain gutters, flooring, and heaters or fan brackets help keep guests comfortable. A tent is never safe shelter during lightning or high winds, so we’ll talk through a weather plan with you before your event.
How do deposits and cancellations work?
A non-refundable 50% deposit reserves your rentals. If you cancel more than 7 days before your event, that deposit is all you owe. Within 7 days of your event, the remaining balance is due and no refund is issued.
