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.

Beautiful Tents from a Fairly Priced and Customer-First Family Business

Sperry Tent is your best option on the Cape for a professional-looking tent for any type of event, with a variety of sizes to select from.

Sperry offered competitive pricing, but the key reason we booked them was their customer-friendly policy of a 30% nonrefundable deposit for ‘rain plan’ items, which we were able to cancel two days before setup. While we ultimately decided to keep the tent order rain or shine, we found that policy to be much more flexible than their competitors’.

Valerie, Lauren, and Michael from Sperry’s sales and operations team were extremely easy to work with and as we changed our order a few times in the months leading up to our event. They were prompt in sending updated, clearly labeled invoices whenever we made a change, and their payment policy was also very friendly, as we didn’t have to pay the remaining balance until a week beforehand. They were able to fit us into the right tent based on our own photos and measurements, then they came to do a site visit a week before our event to make sure it fit. When it came time to set up the tent, they had every detail and regulatory compliance covered, making sure to secure necessary town permits so there are no surprise logistics.

It’s incredible how quickly they’re able to set up such a sturdy tent. They coordinated an arrival time with us and their 4-person crew built the tent by jackhammering stakes into the ground, raising the tents, attaching the tent flaps, and installing the lighting and exit signage.

We would absolutely use Sperry Tent again and we happily recommend them.

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!

Highly Recommend!

We were very happy with the work of Sperry Tents. We had a ~170 person wedding on a family lawn using the dark blue tent with stars. We really enjoyed the bump out options, which made space for the two bars with ample room for the dance floor. The setup and take down for the event were done quickly and professionally and they were very easy to work with. We highly recommend Sperry Tents and thank you for a day we’ll never forget!

Best Decision Made!

I worked with Tania and I am beyond grateful for everything that she did. We changed our minds a lot through the process and Tania was so understanding and helpful throughout it all. She took the time on multiple occasions to walk through the day with me to make sure we didn’t miss anything. On the day everything was set up correctly and the quality of their items went beyond my expectation. Yes it might be a little pricey but in my opinion it was well worth the money spent. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

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.

Peace of mind

We needed chairs and a tent and Sperry was great! Their cancellation policy is quite fair considering New England weather!

Magical! Gorgeous tent and professional team!

We had our wedding of over 200 people at my family home on Cape Cod, and it was hard for me to imagine how the property where my family and I hang out in our swim suits and sweats would transform into an elegant, black tie venue, and then I saw the Sperry Tent going up. It was STUNNING. Absolutely magical and completely gorgeous. It was classy, elegant, and simply beautiful. I wanted to stand in that tent forever! It didn't take away from the view on the property at all, in fact it added to it, seemingly framing the horizon. The team was also incredibly professional and had their system down! It took them 4 days to build the tent and the full wood floor, but they were incredibly professional the entire time, and worked each day to bring our vision to life while being mindful of the property and not to do anything to harm the lawn, or nearby buildings. Thank you all so much for helping make our dream weekend a reality! The tent was absolutely gorgeous and I wish we could have one on the property all the time! Thank you!!

Gorgeous tent and Great Service

We used a Sperry Tent for our wedding at a private residence on Mason's Island, CT and they provided a beautiful tent and great service. Another company said they could only do a frame tent (much less attractive), but Sperry was creative and figured out how to do a their signature sailcloth tent with a "Sperry Arch" for the band. The arch only made it more stunning. The team from Mystic was on time and extremely considerate. When they showed up to take down our tent, we realized that the other rentals weren't schedule for pickup until the next day, which was a problem because we couldn't leave them out without the tent. Sperry agreed to leave the tent up and come back the next day, saving us from a major problem.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
