What Size Tent Do I Need Based On Guest Count?
Choosing the right tent size for your event depends largely on your guest count and how you plan to use the space. For example, if you're hosting a cocktail-style party with standing guests, you'll need less room per person—around 8–10 square feet each. For a seated dinner, plan on 12–15 square feet per guest, especially if you're including round tables. Add extra square footage for a dance floor, buffet tables, stage, or lounge area. It’s always better to have a little extra room than not enough, so consider your layout carefully.

Can Party Tents Be Set Up on Any Surface?
Yes, party tents can be set up on a variety of surfaces, including grass, concrete, asphalt, sand, and even gravel—with the right equipment and expertise. Grass is ideal for traditional staking, while harder surfaces like concrete require weighted ballasts or water barrels to secure the tent safely. The key is understanding what surface you'll be working with so proper anchoring can be used to keep the tent stable and weather-resistant. Uneven ground may require flooring or leveling, but experienced rental companies can easily handle that.
