Information on tent sizing
If the guest seating chart is without tables or standing around cocktail tables, you will need a 10×30 tent. If the guests will be seated, we recommend a 20 x 30 tent. If you have other things that need to go inside the tent, such as a bar, buffet line, or stage, you will need a bigger tent.
If the guest seating chart is without tables or standing around cocktail tables, you will need a 20×40 tent. If the guests will be seated, we recommend a 20 x 50 tent. If you have other things that need to go inside the tent, such as a bar, buffet line, or stage, you will need a bigger tent.

Yes, for events with more than 300 guests, you may need custom tent sizes or even multiple tents. It’s important to factor in additional elements like catering areas, stages, or entertainment sections to determine the overall tent space required.
- Grass or dirt: You can use almost any tent, such as Qwik tents or frame tents, as they can be staked into the ground.
- Asphalt, concrete, gravel, or sand: You’ll need a frame tent or structure tent. These tents don’t need stakes and can be held down by heavy weights, making them ideal for hard surfaces.
- Dirt: This surface allows for more flexibility. You can use frame tents, high peak tents, or structure tents since they can be secured with stakes.
Round tables take up more room than straight rows of chairs, so you’ll need a larger tent to comfortably fit both the tables and chairs.
If you’re going for theater-style seating (just chairs in rows), like for a presentation or ceremony, you’ll need less space compared to tables and chairs. But if the event is more casual with standing or cocktail tables, you need less space overall, as people can move around more freely.
Yes, different types of events will require different amounts of space.
Formal events (like weddings or dinners) usually need more space because you’ll likely want more room between tables and chairs, and possibly areas for extras like buffet tables, bars, or dance floors.
If your event includes entertainment, plan for space for a stage, sound equipment, and audience seating or standing areas.
On the other hand, a simpler event without extra activities can make do with a smaller tent.
If you’re unsure about the exact details, such as the number of guests or the seating style, it’s better to estimate a bit higher in terms of tent size. This ensures everyone will be comfortable and you won’t run out of space. A frame tent is also your best bet. Frame tents are versatile and can be secured on any surface (grass, concrete, asphalt) with either stakes or weights.
Estimate as best you can when using our calculators. These still give you a good starting point.
