ETI ‘Covers’ InTents Buyer’s Guide, Again

By Sarah Lapping, ETI Director of Sales and Marketing

For the second year in a row, Economy Tent is proud to say that one of our tents fills the cover of InTents magazine’s annual BUYER’S GUIDE. Here are the those two covers and the event story behind each of them. For both events, tent installation was provided by Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals.

We want to make your tent purchasing experience fast, easy, and fun.

This beautifully restored Winter Park, Florida, Spanish farmhouse called Casa Feliz is the home of many wonderful weddings and events. A 30′ x 40′ clear span tent with leg drapes is the most popular tent option due to the historic venue’s beautiful architecture. It allows for the character of the building to shine while creating a reception space underneath the tent. Farm tables under the clear tent set the tone for this rustic chic wedding.

Ciara (bride) and Patsy (groom) had a fairytale wedding at the “Ever After Estate” in Clermont, FL. They knew they wanted to have a large reception where their family and friends could all come together to celebrate. The bride’s favorite design feature was the gorgeous, elegant draping of the 40′ x 80′ white tent.  The bride kept everything white and let the purple up-lighting create a romantic glow while the groom designed the layout of the entire reception and Al Dee Productions kept the newlyweds dancing all night long!

Decorating

Rental vs. Purchase

Deciding whether to purchase or rent your event tent can depend on several factors, including frequency of use, budget, and storage capabilities.

Benefits of Renting

  1. Affordability: Renting might be more economical if you host a one-off event or occasional gatherings.
  2. Storage: Event tents can take up significant space. If you lack adequate storage options, renting eliminates this concern.
  3. Variety: Rental services often have various types and styles of tents. You can choose a different tent for each occasion, ensuring your events look fresh and exciting.

Benefits of Purchasing

  1. Long-term Investment: If you frequently host events, purchasing a tent can save you money in the long run.
  2. Customization: Owning your tent lets you personalize it according to your style preferences.
  3. Immediate Availability: When you own a tent, you don’t have to worry about availability conflicts during peak seasons.

Key Features of ETI Tents

Built for commercial use with premium materials and engineering.

Flooring Choices

Depending on the nature of your event, adding flooring can elevate both the aesthetic and functionality of the tent. Options range from simple grass mats to more sophisticated, elegant flooring solutions like wood or vinyl. This adds comfort and reduces the chances of muddy shoes ruining the event.

Lighting Options

Proper lighting can create an inviting ambiance when hosting an evening event. You can incorporate string lights, chandeliers, or LED uplights within your tent to enhance the mood and keep your guests comfortable.

Tent Sidewalls and Entryways

Sidewalls can protect your guests from the elements if it’s a breezy evening or there’s a chance of rain. They also allow for added privacy and help create a more enclosed atmosphere. Think about entryways as well—these can be designed for easy access and even serve as a decorative point.
