Other things to consider

Total Number of Attendees

The biggest factor in choosing a tent size is the total number of people who need to fit comfortably. This includes not just guests but also caterers, event staff, and anyone else inside the tent. A properly sized tent ensures everyone has enough space without feeling crowded.

Event Type

The type of event you’re hosting greatly affects the tent size and layout. A wedding with a seated dinner for 150 guests requires significantly more space than a corporate event with theater-style seating. Consider elements like entertainment, mingling areas, and dance floors to ensure the tent accommodates your event’s needs.

Floor Space Required

Beyond seating, additional space is necessary for catering tables, food stations, a dance floor, gift tables, and other event essentials. Make sure to factor in these extras when using a tent size calculator to determine the ideal tent size for your event.
