With such incredible views all around, a tented wedding is such a fun way to celebrate! Especially with COVID-19 still a concern, being outdoors is the best way for you and your guests to gather safely and enjoy every moment without worry.

Another great perk of a tented wedding, is showcasing your personality. You don’t have to worry about the color of the floor, the crazy wallpaper on the walls or how you’re going to cover that ugly ceiling to make your dream wedding feel like you! With so many different options for tent styles, sizes and materials, you can find a tent that matches your unique style and fits the budget.

Wondering what kinds of tents you can rent?

Vinyl Pole Tents: A tent supported by poles and guy-wires with one or more peaks.

Sail Cloth Pole Tents: A type of pole tent that uses sailcloth material rather than vinyl, with wooden support poles. The translucent fabric adds a beautiful glow to the interior space of the tent with soaring ceiling and curved lines.

Frame Tents: The frame tent is one of the most common types of tent using a metal frame for support. This versatile option is great for hang lights and decorations since the inside of the tent has exposed metal pipes which can be covered with drapery.

Clear Top Frame Tents: A frame based tent with a clear vinyl top for incredible views.

Wondering what other items you may need to complete your tent setup?

Think about your specific wedding vision so you can add accessories to complete the look.

Lighting: Tent rental companies will offer a range of lighting solutions from perimeter bistro lighting to chandeliers, twinkle lights on the ceiling, uplighting, color washing, illuminated drapery and more. With many different options to choose from, you can keep things simple with perimeter lighting, or mix and match to bring depth, texture and drama.

Dance Floor: If you know your guests are going to dance all night long, it’s a great idea to rent a dance floor, often coming in wood grain, black or white to match your style.

DJ or Band Stand: Want to elevate your DJ or band to make them a focal point of your wedding? You can rent staging pieces in a wide variety of sizing to match their setup.

Drapery: If you decide on a vinyl pole tent with metal poles or a frame tent, you may want to use drapery to cover the framing materials if this does not work with your design aesthetic. For more industrial style weddings you may like the look of the frame!
