- First determine the number of guests you are inviting.
- Determine the type of activity you will be having: dancing, sit down meal, buffet service, !2 piece band or a DJ?
- Determine the location for the tent.
- Calculate for dance floor – 2-4 square feet per person. For a 200 person wedding an average dance floor size is 20’ x 20’.
- Calculate for seating: 10 foot round table = 100 square feet, 8 foot table = 80 square feet, theater style seating = six square feet per person
- Calculate for entertainment: Four piece band = 12’ x 20’ stage. DJ = 10-‘ x 10’ space.
- Calculate for food – A served meal takes less space inside a tent but you must think about preparation/service area that a caterer will need. If you are planning a buffet, make sure you allow for the tables, any aisle space on either side and an area for line-up. Don’t forget space for the head table.

The frame tent is one of the most common types of party tent out there. Instead of poles, it uses a metal frame to support the tent and is free standing so it can be set up on most solid surfaces. While it may not be as beautiful as the pole tent, it is more versatile. Inside the tent, the metal pipes are exposed and can left as they are to hang lights and decorations, or hidden with layers of draped fabric.
