You have finally met the man of your dreams and he has just asked you to marry him. You said yes, and it is time to plan the wedding. You have always dreamed of an outdoor wedding, but you are worried about unpredictable weather and bugs that might ruin your wedding reception. There are ways to plan an outdoor wedding that will ensure that you have all possibilities covered and will guarantee that your wedding reception will be everything that you dreamed of. An outdoor wedding can really provide the couple and the guests with many great memories, photo opportunities and a fun and exciting time.
The weather is the most unpredictable part of an outdoor wedding. If rain or snow hits, your guests could be left in the rain. Tent rentals solve this problem. A tent shields the couple and the guests from the weather, and ensures that they remain dry and warm. Tent heaters or cooling units can also be added to a tent to ensure that the temperature of the tented area is comfortable.
Wedding tents have removable walls that provide additional shelter from incumbent weather. If it rains, the walls can be zipped onto the tent, keeping everyone dry and warm. If the day turns out to be sunny and warm, the tent walls can be removed, allowing the guests to mingle outside of the tent rentals.
Tent rentals can come in all shapes and sizes, accommodating any size of wedding. Once you have estimated your guest count, you can figure out the number of square feet that you will need in your tent. Take your number of guests times 15 square feet for seating at tables, 5 square feet for standing area or cocktail area, 8 square feet for a wedding ceremony or guests seated at only chairs, an additional 2 to 3 square feet for a dance area, and 25 square feet for the head table. Following these numbers will ensure that you use a backyard party tent that is large enough for all of the wedding guests and the required seating.
Wedding rentals of tents also help keep bugs and debris out of food that is served at the wedding. Additionally, if you are planning to serve a meal, the amount of room you will need will largely depend on the dimensions of the table you choose as well as the number of people that will be seated at each one. Try to allow at least 12 square feet per person when using round tables and 10 square feet per person when using rectangular ones.
Additionally, the sizing of the party tent for rent may also depend on the types of activities that will be done under the tent. If dancing will be a part of the evening, wedding carpet rentals will turn the grass into a dance floor, but more space will be needed. The tent rentals will need to be larger. If you are hosting a speech or another type of event where your chairs are going to be lined up in rows, it is a good idea to allow 5 to 6 square feet per chair. Be sure to keep in mind, though, that if you are using particularly bulky chairs or have guests that require more space to maneuver, you are going to need more space. A party rental company can help figure out the exact square footage that is needed for your tent rentals.
Weddings can be both fun and stressful to plan. If an outdoor wedding is desired, there may be concerns about sizing, the uncontrollable weather and outside debris getting into the guests food. A wedding tent rental can solve all of these problems, ensuring that the guests remain dry and warm. Additional features can even be added to the tent, including tent carpet squares and heated or cooled down walls. The wedding tent makes the couple feel more comfortable about their planned outdoor wedding.
