Figuring out Tent Size

Trying to figure out what size tent you'll need for your next wedding or event may seem like a daunting task. Luckily, Park Avenue Parties has some key pointers to consider. 

A few things to consider before doing the math are:
  • What type of event is it? For weddings, will ceremony or row seating be required?
  • What is the maximum number of guests that could be present at the same time?
  • Weather is a big factor. If it begins to rain, everybody will want to be under cover & dry.
  • Is there going to be a bar or dance floor?
  • How will the food be served or eaten? The shapes and sizes of buffet and dining tables must be considered.
The standard formulas for determining square footage are:
  • Dance floor - Take a lot of square ft. Not everyone will dance at once so consider getting a 15x15 square ft for 10-100 people. Then a larger one 18x18 for 101-300 people.
  • Bar area - 50 square ft.
  • Buffet/beverage station - 100 square ft. for every 50 people.
  • Seated dinner 8' Banquet Tables - 10 square ft. per person.
  • Seated dinner 5' Round Tables - 12 square ft. per person.
  • Band area - 10 square ft. per person
  • DJ area - 20 square ft.
  • Ceremony/Row style seating - 7 square ft. per person.
These formulas will help to give a clearer picture of the size and layout of what you will need, as well as the impact on your event's budget.
