How to Choose an Event Tent Rental for Your Perfect Gathering

Tent Rentals

Planning an event is tough when you’re unsure which tent will create the perfect space for your corporate gala, wedding, festival, or backyard bash. Unpredictable weather, limited venues, or choosing the wrong tent type can leave guests uncomfortable or your vision unfulfilled, risking a lackluster gathering. Without clear guidance, your event might fall short, missing the chance to captivate your crowd and make lasting memories.

Navigating the maze of tent options—sizes, styles, and features—while ensuring they fit your budget and guest needs adds stress for organizers. Venue restrictions, sudden rain, or a tent that doesn’t match your event’s vibe can derail plans, leaving you scrambling. The challenge of selecting a versatile, all-weather space that wows everyone makes planning feel overwhelming.

Renting a tent is the ideal solution, offering a customizable, weather-proof space that transforms any location into a vibrant event venue. From sleek designs to spacious layouts, tents provide the versatility and charm to make your corporate event, wedding, festival, or backyard party unforgettable. Here are five tent options and how they solve your event space challenges.

5 Tent Options to Solve Your Event Space Challenges

1. Frame Tents: The All-Terrain Champion!

Frame tents, with their sturdy aluminum frames and no center poles, provide a wide-open interior ideal for customizing any event, from corporate dinners to backyard reunions. Ranging from 10’x10’ to 40’x100’, they fit small or large crowds and support decor like chandeliers or banners for a tailored look. Their freestanding design allows setup on grass, asphalt, or concrete, bypassing venue limitations. Optional sidewalls shield against rain or wind, ensuring guest comfort in any weather. These tents offer a reliable, upscale space that adapts to your vision, simplifying logistics for planners. Their modular setup makes them a stress-free choice for diverse gatherings.
Best Events: Frame tents are ideal for corporate product launches, wedding receptions, and family reunions, where their spacious interiors host dining, dancing, or presentations. Their versatility suits mixed indoor-outdoor settings, ensuring a polished atmosphere for any occasion.
 

2. Pole Tents: The Grand Show-Stealer!

Pole tents boast soaring peaks and flowing fabric, anchored by center poles and stakes, delivering a festive, eye-catching vibe for large-scale events. Available in sizes from 20’x20’ to 60’x120’, they accommodate hundreds, perfect for lively gatherings with big crowds. Their durable vinyl withstands wind and rain, offering dependable shelter, though they need grass or soft ground for staking. The open layout fosters mingling and energy, solving the problem of dull venues with a bold aesthetic. Professional crews handle setup, making these tents a stunning yet practical choice. Their classic charm elevates any event’s atmosphere.
Best Events: Pole tents excel for corporate picnics, community festivals, and large backyard parties like milestone celebrations, where their vibrant design enhances games, music, or communal dining. They create a welcoming, high-energy space for guests to connect and celebrate.
 

3. Clearspan Tents: The Elite Game-Changer!

Clearspan tents offer a modern, pole-free interior with robust aluminum frames, spanning up to 100’ for massive events with unmatched elegance. Their weather-resistant design handles rain, wind, or snow, ensuring safety and comfort in any season. Clear or solid roofs provide natural light or privacy, while flooring options like wood elevate the space to rival indoor venues. These tents transform parking lots or fields into premium event spaces, perfect for high-end gatherings. Their scalability and customization solve the challenge of limited upscale venues. Clearspan tents are a corporate and wedding planner’s dream for grandeur.
Best Events: Clearspan tents are perfect for corporate galas, luxury wedding receptions, and music festivals, where their spacious, sophisticated design supports formal dining, live performances, or branded showcases. They elevate high-profile events with a seamless, professional look.
 

4. Pop-Up Canopies: The Fast-Setup Superstar!

Pop-up canopies, sized 10’x10’ to 20’x20’, are lightweight and portable, setting up in minutes to provide quick shelter for smaller or multi-zone events. Their steel or aluminum frames support colorful fabric tops, offering shade and light rain protection with optional branded logos for visibility. These canopies are budget-friendly, ideal for flexible setups that engage guests without complexity. They address the need for easy, affordable event spaces, requiring minimal planning. Their portability makes them a go-to for dynamic, smaller-scale gatherings. Pop-up canopies deliver instant impact with zero hassle.
Best Events: Pop-up canopies shine for corporate team-building retreats, small wedding ceremonies, and backyard barbecues, where they create shaded areas for workshops, vows, or casual dining. They’re great for festival vendor booths, adding a branded, functional touch.
 

5. High-Peak Tents: The Stylish Crowd-Winner!

High-peak tents blend frame tent flexibility with pole tent elegance, featuring tall peaks and no internal poles for a chic, open layout. Sized from 20’x20’ to 40’x80’, they suit mid-to-large events with a luxurious vibe. Their weather-resistant vinyl and optional clear walls create an airy, modern feel, ideal for showcasing decor or scenery. Setup works on any surface, overcoming venue constraints with a sophisticated solution. These tents impress guests and enhance brand image, solving the problem of uninspiring spaces. Their striking design ensures a memorable, upscale experience.
Best Events: High-peak tents are ideal for corporate charity auctions, rustic wedding receptions, and backyard engagement parties, where their elegant design elevates dinners, speeches, or intimate celebrations. They suit outdoor award ceremonies, offering a refined setting for recognition.

Yes. Once we have set up your rental and inspected it, we leave it in your care to make sure it stays in good rentable condition. The only exception is normal wear and tear. You may purchase an additional damage waiver that will cover any unintended damage caused to our unit. See next question to learn more about the damage waiver.  Please read all of our contracts and literature to understand the importance of using our equipment with suggested rules and guidelines.

The damage waiver covers up to $2000 per contract in accidental damage of rental equipment. The damage waiver does NOT cover theft, vandalism, silly string, misuse and/or abuse.

No deposit is required to reserve however we do require a signature on your agreement before we schedule delivery. The balance is due before we set up for your event.

Our pricing is simple. Most items are priced for up to 3 days of rental time. 

Yes, please give us a call or email us to set up a time to meet.

Yes, we carry liability insurance above state requirements. We provide a copy for every event if requested.

Yes. To maintain high quality inflatables, please remove shoes before entering the jump space. This helps keep our inflatables clean and reduces wear.

Unfortunately, weather can be a challenge. Your safety is our primary concern. If unfavorable weather conditions, including rain, snow, and/or high winds, are in the immediate forecast our staff will contact you no later than 2 hours before your event. If an event cannot be moved inside, an alternative rental date can be discussed or a full refund can be given. All changes in rental times/dates must be made before the inflatables are delivered.

Staffing is available upon request & at an additional cost. Call us to find out more information. (Our rental prices do not include staffing.)

We typically connect one blower to a 15 amp circuit and two blowers to a 20 amp circuit. If the inflatables are farther than 100 feet from a power source, then we can provide a generator at an additional charge.

It takes about 30 to 45 minutes to set up a single inflatable and about 30 minutes to deflate and load in the trailer. This time frame varies on the quantity of inflatables.

All of our units are available on a first come, first serve basis. You may make reservations as late as the day before your rental. However, keep in mind that inflatable units are in high demand, especially during the warmer months of the year. Therefore, it would be best to make your reservation as soon as possible.

We clean and sanitize our inflatables regularly to ensure customer satisfaction. We thoroughly clean every rental every week and between every rental. If your child has a need for it to be extra clean, please let us know when you rent, and we’ll touch up on site.

In order for us to maintain the cleanliness of our units and to provide our customers with the best possible inflatable rentals, we deliver and set up the inflatables. This personalized customer service allows you to finish any last-minute party planning. We do have some items that are available for pick up. 

All water sprinklers should be turned off in the area where the inflatables will be set up. Also, please clear the area of all rocks, sticks or any other sharp objects. A 15 amp electrical outlet within 100 feet of each inflatable is required. We will be driving stakes in the ground so the possibility of hitting a shallow phone line or irrigation line is rare, but possible.  This will be the renters responsibility to repair. Please make us aware of any underground utilities that you think could be a concern and we will do our best to avoid these areas.

The space required to set up varies by unit. The sizes of the units are listed in the descriptions and please allow 2′ additional space on all sides of the unit.

Our inflatable units can be set up on just about any flat surface. We would prefer to set up in a grassy area.  The surface needs to be clear of any rocks, sticks or other sharp objects. If you’re not sure where to set it up, we can help you decide when we deliver your rental.

Local deliveries are $60 (within 20 miles of our warehouse).  Outside of that will start a mileage charge of $8.50 per mile one way. In most cases, we have to go out and come back twice, once for delivery and once for pick-up, making the cost $2.12/mile.  Please call with any special requests and we will be glad to assist! 

*With the ever-changing fuel prices, this rate may change before it is shown on this page.

We will arrive at your location at least 30 minutes before your stated event start time for weekday and special events and promptly set up your rentals. Some days this might need to be significantly earlier due to volume of rentals for the day. There will be no extra charge and you will still have the inflatable for the duration you paid for. We will give you a brief overview of rental operations to make sure you feel comfortable.

Depending on our pick up schedule for that day we will be there to load up at the end time of your event, or even a couple hours later than your event ends.  If your event space is rented, or for any other reason you need it removed by a certain time please make us aware if this time and we will do our best to make it happen.

If you have a weekend rental, we will contact you on the Thursday the week of to notify you of our delivery time on Friday. All weekend rentals will be picked up on Monday unless otherwise discussed. We begin pick up as early as 7am. Please try and have the unit inflated on Monday so we can inspect it and tear it down properly.

Due to our amazing customers, we are able to offer an amazing cancellation policy. If you need to cancel, we ask that you let us know before the morning of your delivery. If you’ve paid in advance, we’ll refund whatever has been paid. All we ask is communication. Please don’t wait till we are at your door step to let us know about your cancellation. We are able to offer this policy because our customers have communicated well with us the over the years and we want to provide the best service possible.
