Outdoor wedding - Tents?

Yeah those big tents are expensive. That's why we are going with a couple of smaller tents and having a backup plan/reception at a nearby Hall. I found it to be cheaper than getter a big tent.

The tent quotes I got for that size were roughly around $800-$1000. Depending on where you are having the reception they might have a tent there and it could be cheaper to rent it from them than another rental company which is more likely to charge you more.

Sounds about right. FWIW, someone on craigslist down here in harrisburg has a 20x30 for $1200, for sale. Just remember, at least for our wedding, that fee also includes them coming the day before and setting it up, and then tearing it down the next day. I used to be a sailmaker in the past, and I'll tell you that fabric is HEAVY that the tents are made out of.

I just had to put down my deposit for the tent, it is SOOO expensive!! I am getting married in the Florida Keys in July so I have to get a tent so people are not baking in the sun. I checked two places and the prices were about the same, HIGH!! I think my total is $2500 for 30 x 50 tent with lighting, lining, and setup.

Thanks everyone

tylerm, we are having it outside in my uncles backyard we measured where we would want to tent and came up with the 40x60, we are having about 180 people, so we are going to have a 10x10 tent to put the DJ under next to the 40x60. does that seem right?

Hey Amber we have some tents on our amazon site, i've had several events pull the (sidewalls) a panel and drape on two and combine them to make them the size you want. We also have fairly large tents on there.

It's not an easy task the advantage is you get to keep the tents its yours. If you don't want to keep it (which most dont) they turn around and donate it, which then you can use as a tax right off. They are also cheaper to buy them than renting them. You also do have to put it up and take down, but some people are willing to take that on while others aren't!

We are paying just over $1200 for a 30x40 with cathederal sidewalls, plus the tables, chairs, some of the lighting and the dance floor, setup and tear down. That was about the cheapest I could find it for in my area.

Thanks shae's but I didnt see the size I need 40x60 but it is a good idea our family has parties all the time so keeping one would be a good idea.

jnas you are paying 1200 for all of that? that is a great deal!! I think the one I found came to 2900 for all of that

Amber... trust me, it took LOTS of hunting around to find it for the price I did. Especially since we live in Tallahassee and the reception is in West Palm Beach. I contacted just about every rental company I could find and finally found this place in Miami. Fantastic prices!! And yes that total includes my delivery and pick up.

I can't believe tents are sooo expensive! I have been looking for one too and I havn't been able to find a decent price on a tent big enough for the number of guests we are having.So I am thinking of buying 2 smaller sized tents and put them about 10-20 feet apart from each other(side by side) and using tulle or some other kind of fabric to drape over the top to kind of connect them.I don't know if this will work but it was an idea I came up with.Also I thought of maybe connecting the two tents and setting up a few tables close to them but not under them and seating some of my friends there.They rent tables with umbrellas so I thought that might be an idea too.

Are both the ceremony and reception outside? Just another idea.....our ceremony was outisde and instead of renting an expensive tent we rented these big white umbrellas. They were really pretty and only like $20.00
