Contact our sales team at (800) 438-3226 for available sizes, including our 30×40 wedding tent, 30×50 wedding tent, and 40×40 wedding tent.
Selecting the appropriate size for your marquee is crucial. Consider your guest list, seating arrangements, and any additional features you want to include, such as a dance floor or food serving area. Backyard parties need heavy-duty tents. The tent should provide shelter to your visitors.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the sizes available:
| Tent Size | Sq. Footage | Banquet Seating (rounds) | Theatre / Ceremony Style | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20′ × 20′ | 400 sq ft | 30–40 guests | 50 guests | Intimate ceremony, cocktail patio |
| 20′ × 30′ | 600 sq ft | 50–60 guests | 80 guests | Small, intimate setting reception |
| 20′ × 40′ | 800 sq ft | 60–80 guests | 100 guests | Mid-size receptions with a dance floor |
| 20′ × 60′ | 1,200 sq ft | 90–120 guests | 150 guests | Standard grand reception |
| 20′ × 80′ | 1,600 sq ft | 130–160 guests | 200 guests | Large wedding tents with a full stage |
| 20′ × 100′ | 2,000 sq ft | 160–200 guests | 250 guests | Grand reception + dance floor + buffet |
| 20′ × 120′ | 2,400 sq ft | 200–220 guests | 300 guests | Host multiple events or a large wedding |
Tip: Always add 20–25% to your guest count estimate to account for a dance floor, tables, chairs, a buffet station, and décor space. Contact ETI if you need help finding the right size for your unique needs.
This table gives you a general idea of how many guests each tent size can comfortably accommodate. Be sure to consider not only the number of guests but also additional elements such as tables, chairs, and any installations, like a stage or buffet.
The XP Series: Strength and Design Combined
When you think about marquee tents, the XP Series tents from Economy Tent International come to mind instantly. Made in America, these tents offer a durable, sleek aesthetic that enhances any outdoor wedding.
Features of the XP Series Tents
- Elegant Curves and Peaks: The design features high peaks that add a touch of grandeur to your wedding, creating a lovely silhouette that will impress your guests.
- Strong Construction: Made with high-quality materials, these tents are designed for stability, ensuring that they will endure through complete installations and weather conditions.
- Double-Valance Design: The double-valance system enhances the appearance of the tent, making it more visually appealing without sacrificing functionality.
- Tensioning Ratchet System: This feature keeps the tent cover taut and wrinkle-free, allowing it to maintain a polished look throughout the event.
With these many strengths, the XP Series tents could be an ideal choice if you’re seeking something reliable without compromising on design.
The Classic Plus Tents: Timeless Elegance
If you prefer a more traditional look for your wedding, the Classic Plus tents are the way to go. These tents exude sophistication and timeless elegance, making them perfect for romantic events.
Highlights of the Classic Plus Tents
- Expandable Sizes: Ranging from 30 to 40 feet, with expandability to 120 feet, you can create the perfect size tent for your wedding.
- Classic Appeal: With graceful lines and refined aesthetics, these tents elevate a simple outdoor event into a sophisticated occasion.
Once you’ve selected the right tent, you should consider how you want to organize your space within it.
Seating Arrangements
Seating will greatly affect the mood of your event. Depending on your style, you could opt for traditional round tables or a more casual seating arrangement. Additionally, consider whether you would like to include a head table, dance floor, or lounging areas for guests.
Decor and Ambiance
Your marquee isn’t just a structure; it’s a canvas waiting to be decorated. Here are a few tips to create an enchanting atmosphere:
- Lighting: String lights can add a magical touch, while elegant chandeliers can elevate the overall decor.
- Fabrics: Use draping fabrics throughout the tent to create an intimate setting. Choosing colors that complement your wedding palette will help to tie everything together beautifully.
- Flowers and Centerpieces: Fresh flowers can add life and romance to your tables. Make sure they fit the themes and colors of your wedding.
Permits and Regulations
Most jurisdictions require a permit for any tent over a certain size. Typically 400 sq ft or larger. Requirements vary by city and county. Before a client’s event, make sure the permit is pulled.
If you’re setting up on public property, the lead time for approval can be several weeks. This is standard practice, but it’s worth building it into your client onboarding process so it doesn’t become a last-minute scramble.
Weather Plans
Even the best-laid plans can be affected by unpredictable weather. Make sure to have a contingency plan. Whether that means additional sides for the tent or an alternative indoor location, it’s wise to prepare for all scenarios.
If you’re a rental company reading this, you’re buying. Not renting. But if you’re an end-user (planning a single event), here’s the honest comparison:
Renting from a company: Less upfront cost, no storage, no setup experience needed. Best for a one-time event.
Buying: Makes sense if you plan to host multiple events over time, or if you’re starting a rental business. The tent pays for itself after a number of events, and you control the inventory.
ETI sells primarily to rental businesses, municipalities, and companies that will use the tent repeatedly.
Financing
We offer financing options for qualified buyers. If you’re building a rental fleet, this lets you get the inventory you need without putting everything on a single invoice.
Our marquee is the perfect tent for your outdoor wedding. These wedding tents provide a reliable shelter from the weather, turning any garden, patio, or field into your reception space.
With various sizes available for every guest count, heavy-duty construction built to last, and exceptional service backed by over 40 years of American manufacturing, there is no better place to purchase your wedding marquee tents for sale. Buy Now! We ship nationwide.

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
- Affordability: Renting might be more economical if you host a one-off event or occasional gatherings.
- Storage: Event tents can take up significant space. If you lack adequate storage options, renting eliminates this concern.
- 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
- Long-term Investment: If you frequently host events, purchasing a tent can save you money in the long run.
- Customization: Owning your tent lets you personalize it according to your style preferences.
- 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.
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.
