Wherever you are getting married, we bring the rest
Some couples know exactly where they want to be married: the backyard, the cabin on the lake, the family farm. Others have found a venue they love and want it to feel like their own. We do both. For the open lawn we bring the roof, the floor, a place to sit and a place to dance. For a venue we bring the chairs, linens, drape and decor that finish the room. Either way, a crew puts it up and takes it down.
How it works
- Tell us about the day. The date, the place and a rough guest count are enough to start.
- We draw it to scale. Our Party CAD system will make your seating layout perfect: the tent, every table, the head table, the bar and the dance floor, drawn so you can see that it fits.
- You choose the look. Pole tent or frame tent, Windsor, cross-back or chiavari chairs, linens, lighting and the pieces that make it yours.
- We deliver and set up. Our professional staff brings it out and builds it.
- We take it all down. When the party is over, we tear down and haul it away, so you have more time to enjoy the event.
The decisions that shape the day
Pole tent or frame tent
Pole tents give you that classic backyard wedding look, and the center poles allow for fun decorating and lighting designs. They are staked, so plan on an additional five feet on each side. A frame tent has no center poles and can be weighted or staked, so it works on a patio or a tighter lawn. Not sure which, or what size? Tell us your guest count and we will help you choose.
Seating
From cross-back and chiavari chairs to Windsor and fanback styles, we offer a variety of seating options for every style and budget. Pair them with our round, banquet or farm tables to create the perfect setup for your celebration.
Light
A tent at dusk is its own decoration once the lights are on. We rent strings of globe lights, chandelier lights and LED lighting.
Weather
Solid walls and window walls keep the rain out, and tent heaters keep guests comfortable if the temperature drops.
The pieces guests remember
- Arches and arbors for the ceremony
- Fabric backdrops for the head table or a photo area
- A dance floor
- Champagne tower glassware
- Chargers in silver, gold, silver beaded or black
- Centerpieces, card boxes, and card and menu holders
- A portable bar
