Choosing a tent size means solving a math equation. However, the tricky part of the math equation comes with the many variables involved in any event.
Factors for deciding what size tent to rent include:
- How many guests will there be?
- Will they be standing or seated?
- How will they be seated?
- Will there be a bar?
- A buffet?
- A dance floor?
- A DJ? A cake, sign in, or gift table?
So. Many. Questions.
That’s why Goodshuffle created this 3-step Tent Calculator. Simply multiplying the number of guests by X square feet completely ignores the wide variety of needs for different events. Does a seated auction require the same amount of space as a gala with a buffet and large dance floor? How about a seated ceremony vs. a dinner reception? Simply calling an event a “fundraiser” or a “wedding” doesn’t dive into the important details of each event.
Goodshuffle took on these many factors and did the math for you, creating a quick and easy calculator that ensures first-time tent renters and seasoned event planners alike that they’re selecting the perfect size.
Once you have a size, don’t forget to consider heating and cooling, lighting, sidewalls, and more (Lucky for you- we have it all!)
