What types of tents are commonly rented for events?▾

For more details, check our tent types guide.
How do I choose the right tent size for my event?▾
To estimate tent size, consider allocating 10-15 square feet per seated guest for a formal setup and 6-8 square feet for a cocktail-style arrangement. For example, a 20x20 tent can accommodate around 40 seated guests, while a 20x40 tent fits approximately 80. A larger 40x60 tent can host about 200 guests. It's best to consult with the provider for tailored sizing recommendations.
Do I need a permit to set up a tent in Saint Paul?▾
Tent permit requirements vary by municipality, tent size, whether it's commercial or residential, and fire code. We recommend contacting the Saint Paul city government, building department, or fire marshal's office directly to confirm requirements for your specific event.
How far in advance should I book a tent rental in Saint Paul?▾
Industry guidance suggests that for peak season (May through September), it's wise to book tent rentals 3-6 months in advance, particularly for weddings. For smaller or off-season events, you may find that 4-6 weeks is sufficient. Always check with providers for their availability.
How much does a tent rental cost?▾
Prices vary widely based on tent size, type (frame vs pole vs sailcloth), duration, delivery distance, and add-ons like sidewalls, flooring, lighting, and HVAC. A small 10x10 may start around $150, while a large 40x60 wedding tent can run $1,500-$4,000 or more. Request quotes from 3+ providers to compare.
What should I look for when comparing tent rental companies?▾
When comparing tent rental companies, consider their Google ratings and review counts for credibility. Look into the services they provide, such as delivery, setup, and takedown. Check if they handle insurance and permits, cancellation policies, and what add-ons like sidewalls, flooring, lights, and heating/cooling are included. Our directory highlights ratings and reviews to assist in your comparison.
What's included in a standard tent rental?▾
Most tent rentals typically include the tent itself, basic setup and takedown, and delivery within a local radius. Additional items such as sidewalls, flooring, lighting, tables, chairs, linens, heaters, and fans are usually available as separate add-ons or require a complete event package. Always confirm what is included with each provider before finalizing your booking.
