If figuring out the size wasn’t enough, you will also need to figure out the style of tent you want! Let’s go over the different types of tents that can be rented for parties and events.

Types of Tents for Parties and Events

Type Description
Pole Secured with stakes, these tents aren't suitable for concrete or asphalt surfaces. Their design features poles that create elegant peaks and dips, adding a touch of sophistication to your event.
Frame These free-standing tents can be set up on any surface, offering versatility for your event location. With no interior poles, you enjoy unobstructed space, making planning and decorating a breeze.
Marquee This hybrid tent combines the best of both worlds: it offers the elegant peaks of a pole tent while boasting the free-standing flexibility of a frame tent.
Frame Structure This tent features wider openings and taller ceilings compared to standard frame tents, enhancing its spacious feel. It's capable of supporting more weight, perfect for robust setups. With tightly fitting sections and walls, it's the ideal choice for effectively utilizing heating and air-conditioning, ensuring comfort in any weather.

Recently, I planned a 150-person wedding.

While planning the event, we had to ensure that there was enough square footage for guests’ tables, buffet tables, a bar, and a dance floor. To stay within budget, we decided to go with the pole tent (this is usually the most affordable choice). Here is how the math worked out:
  • 1000 square feet for the guest tables
  • 100 square feet for the buffet table
  • 100 square feet for the bar
  • 300 square feet for the dance floor
  • 100 square feet for the DJ
Total: 1,600 sqft With these numbers in mind, we rented a 30 x 60 tent, which accommodates 1,800 sqft. Since we went with a pole tent, the cost of the rental was $750.  However, if we went with a frame tent, the rental would have cost $1,100.
