Event Tent Rentals Our Event Tent rentals are white frame tents.  Our tents can be setup on any type of surface.  When setting tents up on a hard surface, there is an option to use stakes or water barrels.  When Installing tents on grass, we will use stakes unless water lines or utility lines are present.  If stakes can not be used on grass, water barrels will be used.  Frame tents are the preferred type of tent because there are no center poles.  All the tent poles are located on the perimeter of the tent.  Our frame tents are available in a variety of sizes.  The frame tents can be 10 feet wide to 30 feet wide.  There is no physical limit to how long a frame tent can be.  Just let us know how many people need to fit under the tent and we can determine the length.  Click HERE for frequently asked tent questions.   All Frame Tent Packages include: Frame Tents, Tables, and Chairs, Setup and Teardown.  We setup the business day before your event and takedown the next business day after your event.  Package pricing does NOT include delivery costs.  Delivery costs are based on distance traveled.   10' x 10' Frame Tent Rental Package: $180 plus delivery 10 x 10 Frame Tent   (12 x 12 space requirement)   (2) 8 foot rectangle tables (20) Chairs Optional Extras:  - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers       10' x 10' Frame Misting Tent Rental:   10 x 10 Frame Tent Rental   (12 x 12 space requirement) (1) Misting System Client supplies the water supply and hose   Our Misting Tent supplies just the relief needed for those hot summer days.  Just enough water is misted through the rod to create a cool shaded place to refresh.   20' x 20' Frame Tent Rental Package: $415.00  plus delivery 20 x 20 Frame Tent   (22 x 22 space requirement) (4)  8 foot rectangle OR 5 foot round tables for seating (2) 8 foot rectangle tables for food buffet (32) Chairs Optional Extras:  - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers   20' x 30' Frame Tent Rental Package: $615.00 plus delivery 20 x 30 Frame Tent   (22 x 32 space requirement) (8)  8 foot rectangle OR 5 foot round tables for seating (2) 8 foot rectangle tables for food buffet (64) Chairs Optional Extras:  - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers   20' x 40' Frame Tent Rental Package: $815.00  plus delivery 20 x 40 Frame Tent Rental   (22 x 42 space requirement) (12)  8 foot rectangle OR 5 foot round tables for seating (2) 8 foot rectangle tables for food buffet (96) Chairs Optional Extras:  - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers       20' x 60' Frame Tent Rental: $695.00 plus delivery   20 x 60 Frame Tent Rental   (22 x 62 space requirement) Optional Extras:  - Tables - Chairs - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers   30' x 30' Frame Tent Rental Package: $855.00 plus delivery 30 x 30 Frame Tent Rental   (35 x 35 space requirement) (9) 5 foot round tables for seating (3) 8 foot rectangle tables for food buffet (72) Chairs Optional Extras:  - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers   30' x 40' Frame Tent Rental Package: $975.00 plus delivery 30 x 40 Frame Tent Rental   (35 x 45 space requirement) (12) 5 foot round tables for seating (3) 8 foot rectangle tables for food buffet (96) Chairs Optional Extras:  - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers   30' x 50' Frame Tent Rental Package: $1195.00 plus delivery 30 x 50 Frame Tent Rental   (35 x 55 space requirement) (15) 5 foot round tables for seating (3) 8 foot rectangle tables for food buffet (120) Chairs Optional Extras:  - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers       30' x 60' Frame Tent Rental Package: $1425.00 plus delivery   30 x 60 Frame Tent Rental   (35 x 65 space requirement) (18) 5 foot round tables for seating (3) 8 foot rectangle tables for food buffet (144) Chairs Optional Extras:  - Solid or Windowed Walls - Table Linens - Lighting (for evening parties or solid walls) - Air Movers

How do I know what type of tent to get?

There are 3 types of tents to choose from Canopy, Frame, and Pole.

Frame Tents are made of a reinforced vinyl or vinyl coated canvas stretched over an aluminum frame. Since they have no center poles, the inside area is unobstructed. Minimal staking or weighting (if any) is required and they are perfect for installation in areas where staking is not practical, i.e. parking lots, patios, decks, driveways, etc. Ideal use for frame tents are Information booths, Vendor booths, Walkways, Presentations Seating.

Pole Tents is supported by perimeter poles and center support poles.  Pole tents require staking around the perimeter of the tent. Center support poles every 15 feet. (Be sure you have an additional 8' to 10' of space in addition to the tent size for staking.)  Pole tents can be setup on grass or asphalt.  For large events around Chicago, pole tents are usually the tent of choice.

Where should the tent be setup?  Select a level area and make sure that you are not placing it in a low area where water will flow or accumulate if it should rain.  If staking is required, be careful of the unseen underground factors that may affect the tent placement, i.e. sprinkler systems (checking the sprinkler timers is not a bad idea either), gas and water lines, and telephone and electrical conduit or wires. In most municipalities the local utility companies will be happy to visit the site and mark the locations of their pipes, wires, etc.  If electrical service is required to the tent for lighting, etc. try to locate the tent in an area where power can be easily accessed and run to the tent.  Electrical generators are also available for areas where electrical power is not readily available.

What accessories are available?

Sidewalls - Solid and windowed sidewalls are available on all of our tents. Windowed sidewalls offer an upscale appearance and will not require additional lighting during the day.

Fans / Air Movers / Heaters / Air Conditioners - Depending upon the expected ambient temperature, these options can greatly increase the level of comfort.  (Tent sidewalls are needed when either of these options are used.)

Lighting -  Lighting can be used for practical application (like to see what you are eating) or to create a desired effect or mood.  Lighting is required when solid side walls are used.  (unless you are doing a haunted house...)

 

What type of seating should I use?

Wedding or Garden Party
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 isn't 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.

One 5' Round table with 8 to 10 chairs, consumes 100 sq. ft.
5' Round table seats 8 comfortably
6' Round table seats 10 comfortably
6' Rectangle table seats 6 to 8
8' Rectangle table seats 8 to 10

What is included with the tent rental?  Our prices include setup and tear down on all of our tent, table, chair rentals. Most companies charge extra.  Delivery/Pickup charges are NOT included and are based on the distance to the delivery location.

When will you setup for our party?  We setup the day before your event and take down the next business day.  For example if you event was on Saturday, we would setup Friday and tear down on Monday.  Don't take the chance of the tent still going up while the guests are arriving which leaves no time for the you, the caterer or band to set up the area prior to guest arrival.

Is the company insured?  We carry a 3 million dollar liability policy should any of our equipment cause damage or injure someone.

How big of tent do I need?  This chart will give you a guide to how many people fit under a tent with 3 different seating arrangements.  The first arrangement is a Formal Sit Down arrangement that utilizes round tables.  The round tables are typically used for weddings and black tie events.  It is not uncommon for casual events to use round tables since round tables allow eye contact with every person sitting at the table.  The second arrangement is the Cafeteria Style arrangement that utilizes rectangle tables.  The rectangle tables are 8 feet or 6 feet in length.
