How many tables and chairs do I need for my event?

Plan for 1 round table (60″) per 8 guests and 1 chair per guest. For 100 guests, that’s 13 tables and 100 chairs. Add 1–2 extra tables for gifts, cake, DJ, or catering.

Do I need a dance floor for my event?

For weddings, birthday parties, and graduation parties — usually yes. Plan for one 15×15 section per 50 guests. Corporate events and baby showers typically skip the dance floor.

What’s included in a typical tent rental?

Most tent rentals include the tent structure, setup, and takedown. Sidewalls, flooring, lighting, and heating/cooling are usually add-ons. Always confirm what’s included with your local vendor.

How far in advance should I book event rentals?

For weddings: 3–6 months. For large corporate events: 2–3 months. For smaller parties: 2–4 weeks. Peak season (May–October) fills up fast — book early.

How accurate are these estimates?

These are national average ranges to help you budget. Your actual costs depend on your location, vendor, event date, and any add-ons (sidewalls, flooring, heaters). Use this estimate as a starting point, then get quotes from local rental companies. Heading out on the water instead?
