HISTORY:

Accomplished sailmaker Steve Sperry founded Sperry Tents in response to the classic American inspiration: necessity. To accommodate an expanding guest list for a family function, Steve first created a tent from sailcloth in the late 1970s. The whimsical project grew into a serious business with the collaboration of Steve's sons, Tim and Matt, providing labor as they learned the family trade. Today, Sperry Tents are still made with the traditions and knowledge of hundreds of years of American sailmakers.

Sperry Tents are the perfect New England touch

My husband and I chose to work with Sperry Tents for our wedding at Shining Tides. There were a few different options we were considering and Sperry did a wonderful job in giving us all information ahead of time, helping us to understand our options and offering information on availability. They also seamlessly worked with both our site, caterer, decorator, and florist to ensure a perfect setup (and takedown). We were thrilled with the final product (a beautiful tent representative of the ocean that we were next to) and the fact that we barely had any involvement in making it all happen!

Absolutely spectacular quality!

So glad we decided to go with sperry tents. My husband convinced me to go with them and so glad we did. When the pandemic hit they were so amazing and accommodating when we had too coordinate the postponement. The day was just magical and so Harry Potter-esk because of the atmosphere that was created under this amazing tent. So glad it all came out so wonderfully!

Absolutely stunning

Forget about the bride… the Sperry tent you rent will be the star of the wedding. Professional planning, set up and take down. The tent itself is a show stopper with the onion lanterns and perimeter lights. We also rented their farm tables which are huge as impressive, we could not have been more pleased with the tents for the welcome dinner and the wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
