What Size Tent Rental Do You Need for Your Outdoor Event in New Jersey?

Planning an outdoor event in New Jersey and wondering what size tent you need? Whether you're hosting a wedding, graduation, birthday party, corporate function, or community gathering, choosing the right size tent is critical to your event’s success. From the number of guests to the type of ground and weather conditions, here’s everything you need to know before renting your event tent.

Tent Sizes We Offer

At [Your Company Name], we offer a variety of tent sizes to suit events both big and small:

• 10x10 Tent & 10x15 – Ideal for small vendor booths or individual stations.
  

• 20x20 Tent  & 20x30– Comfortably fits up to 40 seated guests or 60 standing.

• 20x40 Tent – Accommodates up to 100 seated guests; great for medium-sized events.

We can also connect multiple tents to create custom layouts based on your venue and guest count.

How Many Guests Are You Expecting?

Tent size largely depends on your guest count and seating arrangement. Here’s a quick guide:

• Cocktail-style (standing with tall tables): 6-8 sq. ft. per person

• Theater-style (rows of chairs): 8-10 sq. ft. per person

• Banquet-style (round tables): 10-12 sq. ft. per person

• Sit-down dinner with space for dance floor/DJ: 15-18 sq. ft. per person

For example, if you're planning a wedding for 100 guests with dining and dancing, you'll want at least a 20x40 foot tent

What’s Under Your Tent: Grass vs. Pavement

In New Jersey, your tent installation will likely be on grass (parks, backyards) or pavement (parking lots, driveways). This affects how we anchor the tent:

• Grass installations allow us to use ground stakes, providing strong and secure anchoring.

• Pavement or concrete setups require water barrels or concrete weights to keep the tent stable, especially in windier weather.

Let us know your surface type during booking so our event team can prepare accordingly.

Weather in New Jersey: Be Prepared for Rain or Shine

Outdoor events are fun, but New Jersey weather can be unpredictable—especially in the spring and fall. For full coverage and comfort:

• Use Side Walls: If there's any chance of rain or wind, side walls will keep guests dry and comfortable.

• Ventilation or Heaters: For summer heat, we recommend vented tents or fans. In cooler months, consider tent heaters.

• Clear Tops or Draping: For weddings or elegant events, you might want a clear top tent for sky views or draped ceilings for a luxurious feel.

Draping and Decor Options

We offer several tent draping options to enhance your aesthetic:

• Elegant Ceiling Drapes: Soft fabric cascades from the center for a romantic, airy look.

• Leg Drapes: Covers the metal poles for a polished finish.

• Color-Coordinated Drapes: Customize with your event theme—white, ivory, blush, navy, and more.

Pair your draping with chandeliers or string lighting for an unforgettable evening ambiance.
