Additional Tips:

  • Event Type Matters: Cocktail-style events need less space per guest than sit-down dinners.
  • Other Space Needs: Consider space for staging, catering prep areas, decor, or weather protection.
  • Tent Placement: Our marquee tents can be connected in various configurations (L-shape, straight line, U-shape) to best fit your venue.
