I'm planning to rent a tent for my outdoor wedding and was wondering if anyone has come across a formula for figuring out how large of a tent is needed for a specific number of people? The meal will not be taking place within the tent (it will be in a building a couple miles away), but the cake will be served and there will be dancing/music/etc in the tent. We're planning on renting a dance floor as well. Has anyone rented one of these dance floors before? How are they? Thank you for any information you can share.

A tent rental company should be able to easily figure this out for you based upon the number of people who will be attending. They know how many tables, chairs, and space you will need. Check out the yellow pages.

Yes. When I looked into renting a tent, it was about 10 sqft pp for rectangular tables, 12 sqft pp for round tables, and then 3 sqft pp for a dance floor plus whatever you need for buffet and DJ and cake.

your best bet is to call the tent rental place. It will depend on what style tent you want and weather or no you have a dance floor, how much room you need for the cater, etc. Have an estimate of the guest list when you call and they will help. Call a few places and metion the names of other business in your area and they might offer you a good deal
