Tent Collections and Size Ranges at iCelebrate
Our collection spans petite 10×10 shelters to majestic 40×200 pavilions, ideal for backyard barbecues, street fairs, and festival main stages. Our sailcloth varieties create stargazing magic under the Silicon Valley sky, with quick-deploy pop-up options ready for casual block parties or spontaneous gatherings.
Visualizing Before You Rent
A 20×20 tent (400 sq ft) seats roughly forty banquet guests or fifty in theater-style rows but drops to thirty when adding buffet or bar stations, 30×60 tents support 150 banquet chairs yet compress to 120 when you need open areas for dancing, our 40×80 structures hold over 200 for seated service plus cocktail lounges, with CAD-powered mockups supplied so planners preview tent placement and traffic flow in advance.
Plan for Extras Early
Drapes, HVAC units, and barrel anchors add style and stability yet increase needed buffer zones, ensuring heaters, fans, and drapes align with local fire codes and vendor permits. Flooring options—from hardwood dance floors to carpeting—alter load distribution and edge anchoring needs, so locking in add-ons early delivers seamless integration and prevents overspend.
Matching Tent Types to Event Styles
Small garden parties and intimate gatherings pop beneath 10×20 or 15×30 canopies, while grand receptions and corporate galas shine under 30×60 or 40×80 frame structures, outfitted with decor-ready linings, branded backdrops, and acoustical drapes. Corporate launches and nonprofit fundraisers favor 30-ft gables for structured presentation zones, whereas PTA fairs rely on versatile pop-ups and peak shelters.
