The following tent sizing chart is for your convenience in estimating your needs.  Note that the numbers in this chart reflect the maximum that can be put in that tent. 

If you are planning a wedding or other event that will require additional equipment under the tent such as a dance floor, cake table, buffet tables, wide aisle or other extras, we recommend you select a tent at least 2 sizes beyond what the chart indicates.

Selecting the proper size tent can be difficult due to the number of variables that affect the final sizing of your tent.

 Call our experts and they will be glad to help you select the tent, tables and additional items you need.
