Key Elements That Determine Tent Size
Guest count forms the baseline—banquets need more space than cocktail mixers, and round tables eat up more area than theater rows, while dance floors, stages, and buffet stations demand open zones for circulation, site obstructions define tent placement and fire-lane access, iCelebrate Event Rentals provides detailed layout diagrams that factor in every element for seamless planning.

How Many Guests Fit?

Plan for Extras Early

Pick by Occasion
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.
