Cost of tent rental?

Linda Missal, on March 24, 2017 at 7:43 PM Posted in Planning 0 5

Im pretty sure I want to have an outdoor event, and I'm having a hard time finding any online pricing info for rent/dance floor/tables/chairs/etc rentals.

Anyone in the NY area comfortable sharing your guest count and approximate costs for rentals of the above items?

I think as of now I'm planning on having about 100.

Thanks so much!

    Sorry I don't have much more info, but we were considering a tent for our outdoor wedding and the venue told us that we had to go through their caterer for a price, but that tents were quite expensive and you have to make sure the staff can get in the venue early enough to set up due to how long it takes (we have to pay for extra hours at our venue)... so unfortunately I don't have a price, but based solely on this we are not having a tent.

    More than you think. Call a rental company. Ask for pricing. You need at least a 40X40 tent to cover tables, chairs, bars and dance floors. That's assuming you have a flat, clear space.

    Don't go any further until you have numbers from someone in your area.

    Thanks @kelsey and @celia! After posting this, I did find an awesome size and price estimator tool here: https://apracticalwedding.com/rent-a-wedding-tent-prices/

    I live in upstate NY and was planning an outdoor wedding until I realized that you have to account for renting EVERYTHING! Drink glasses, wine glasses, champagne glasses, salad fork, dinner fork, dessert fork... no thanks!

    Not in NY (in VA) but we're inviting 130, and we were quoted ~$6000 for a tent, tables, chairs, heaters (in case we need them), dance floor, lights, and a nice bathroom trailer.
