What
Size Tent Do I Need?
The typical wedding or garden party under a tent will require space
for
guests to be seated at round tables, as well as space for buffet,
head tables, bars, and dance floor. Although
every party has unique requirements, the general rule for this type
of party is to allow 18 square feet per guest.
Cocktail
Parties/ Since there is not the need for as much furniture at a
cocktail party,
(minimal seating, smaller food stations, etc.) the space allowance
can be reduced to 10-12 square feet per guest.
Ceremony
or Row Seating/ For wedding ceremonies or public assemblies, one
must allow for the chairs,
space between the rows, aisles, and space required for the podium
and/or stage.
The suggested allowance is 8 square feet per person.
Please
remember no two functions are alike. Each event deserves to be looked
at individually.
Be sure to check with the caterer or band for any special needs.
