Tent Events

When thinking about a tent event there are a number of considerations to be aware of:

1. ​How many guests are expected? Will they be seated or standing?
2. Will the tent be used with another building? For example, a patio or porch.
3. ​Will food be served? Is food service a buffet or sit-down style?
4. ​What special needs have to be met? For example, a dance floor, a band, head tables, bar area, etc.
