Rob Sent on 11/09/2025Beautiful 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. -

Julie Sent on 02/25/2025Sperry 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! -

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! -

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

Hannah Sent on 09/23/2019Magical! 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!! -

Our big "oh God everything is falling apart" moment happened as we realized, three days before the wedding, there had been a terrible miscommunication with the venue- they thought we had a tent, and well, we thought they had the tent. Weather said 95% chance of thunderstorms all day. Cue intense panic. I called Sperry Tents- as the wedding the day after us was having a tent put up, it turns out they were able to put the tent up a day early so we could have it on our day. Every person I spoke to, on phone and over email, was incredibly kind, when they didn't have to be! They easily could have said "no, it's three days before, are you crazy?" And they didn't- they were able to help us out, and did so in such a professional manner. I've worked in customer service for several years myself, and I was blown away by this company. Not to mention the tent itself was just gorgeous. Cannot recommend enough based on their stellar service. -
Lisa Sent on 06/27/2018So glad I got Sperry Tents for my wedding! Cannot recommend them highly enough. The tents are absolutely gorgeous. Our guests were floored by how classy it made a backyard wedding. Lots of our guests came up to us and said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and the tents were a huge part of that. We also loved how closely Sperry was willing to work with us to get the correct size and layout in a nontraditional hilly New England backyard. Setup and break down went smoothly. We got onion lamps in one tent and the string lights in the other. The string lights were really magical for the dance floor. The onions were good for better lighting during dinner. Communication with Sperry was incredible - my emails were all answered within 24 hours. And so thankful for that last minute flexibility in the last few days before the wedding when the forecast kept switching. Yes Sperry tents cost a bit more than the cheapest tents out there but it is worth every penny.

John Sent on 08/29/2011When my husband first put up a stink about wanting a sail cloth tent I thought that the expense was too much for the product. Well now that our event has occurred I could not have been more wrong. This company is amazing!!! The tent was gorgeous and needed no extra decorating it had some awesome touches like flags on the poles at the top, the cedar poles inside made it look elegant and it was so much better than a vinyl tent. This company was so professional it took 6 guys taking their time and. Just about 2 hours to put up the tent. There was a hurricane on Sunday and they worked with us to not take the tent down. Until late Saturday night after our event. They even were professional enough to offer a refund without me asking for part of the price because there wasn't able to be an attendant onsite for the night because of the storm. If your looking for a tent for your wedding look no further you have found speedy tents!!! -

Nancy Sent on 06/26/2024The tented outdoor dining room of our wedding vision made real
Rob Cowell and his team at Sperry Tents are superb! Their fully floored Sperry Pole tent created the stunning “outdoor dining room” reception desired for our daughter’s June 2024 nuptials. Rob was easily accessible by email and phone throughout the wedding planning process . . as was the company’s user-friendly website. The Event Planning and Galleries tabs were helpful and inspiring. As preferred vendors of our wedding venue, Sperry Tent’s experience and relationship with lighting and fabric design professionals helped us add the finer details we sought to execute the vision/event flawlessly. I highly recommend Sperry Tents the very best in elegance and design! -

N Johnson Sent on 07/10/2022Solid choice, with some notable shortfalls
The good: the tents are gorgeous, and very regal. There's a reason people look to Sperry to pull off a beautiful wedding.
Criticisms:
We did a walk through at our venue the day before our wedding day (mid-June) and noticed the layout was not as we had wanted. After raising the issue with Sperry, they pointed out we approved the layout back in February. Ok, fair enough, we'll own that we forgot about that.
That said, when people are spending upwards of $10k for your service, it probably makes sense to double check with them oe last time, a week or two before the event, before setting things up. A lot can change in 4 months. (For transparency's sake, they offered to change the layout, but said they'd have to charge for it.)
Lastly, our caterer told us the power source for their tent was mounted obscenely high, and they had to stack several boxes and use their tallest employee to plug everything in.
