Multiply the number of guests by the recommended square footage
per person. This will give you the total square footage necessary.
Add the recommended additional allowances for head tables,
buffet areas, bars or dance floors. Be sure to check with
the decorator, caterer and band or DJ for their specific space
requirements.
# of guests x sq ft per person + space for head tables, buffet
tables, stages, bars, dance floors, band/DJ, etc = total square
footage for the event. Add a little extra for overflow room.
Keep in mind that every event is different. Each event deserves
to be looked at individually so that the exact size of the
tent can be determined based on your personal needs and preferences.
Another important consideration is the amount of space that
is available. You need to allow a minimum of 5' of space on
each side of your tent. For example, if you have a 40' x 40'
space, the largest tent you can use is 30' x 30'.
Use the drop-down menu below to select the total square footage
you will need. When making your selection, choose a tent that
is equal to or greater than the total square footage you need.
