Orlando Wedding and Party Rentals installed the 30-by-80-foot clear tent by Economy Tent Intl. for a March 2016 wedding that featured a vibrant, Mexican-inspired fiesta theme with touches of the Day of the Dead. Embedded filament lines in the tent fabric prevented expansion under the Florida sun. Michele Butler Events served as wedding planner, and the photo was taken by That First Moment Photography.

Other contest finalists were Commonwealth Event Co., Richmond, Va., with a drone shot of a clear-top tent for a corporate event at Williamsburg Winery, Williamsburg, Va., and Choura Events, Torrance, Calif., with a photo of a 20-by-27-foot Tidewater Sailcloth Tent manufactured by Aztec Tents for a wedding at Palos Verdes Estates in September 2016 (photo by Brian Lovelace).

Rental vs. Purchase

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.

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.
