Choosing the right tent dictates guest comfort, traffic flow, weather protection, and overall cost iCelebrate Event Rentals leverages deep Bay-Area insight to match headcounts, seating styles, and venue restrictions, consulting on zoning setbacks, egress routes, and ground conditions so your canopy arrives ready to shine.

What to Measure Before You Book
Seating style drives footprint: 60″ rounds require larger canopies than straight-row chairs, while dance floors, stages, and buffet stations demand open zones for circulation, ground conditions and grading influence stake‐type and tent footers, iCelebrate Event Rentals delivers tailored quotes that cover space needs from guest seats to dance floors, all within budget.
Styles to Suit Any Vibe
Our collection spans petite 10×10 shelters to majestic 40×200 pavilions, ideal for backyard barbecues, street fairs, and festival main stages. Opt for translucent peak tents to capture moonlight at Mountain View events, with quick-deploy pop-up options ready for casual block parties or spontaneous gatherings.
Capacity Examples and Layout Tips
Our 20×20 can host forty diners seated or up to fifty attendees for presentations, though floor plans with buffets reduce that capacity, while a 30×60 model (1 800 sq ft) accommodates about 150 seated diners or up to 120 with a dance floor, and grand 40×80 pavilions (3 200 sq ft) exceed 200 guests with room for aisles, bars, and lounge sections, plus our digital floor plans let you map every table, stage, and station for flawless event execution.
Accessories Affect Footprint
Decorative linings, climate control, and structural anchors transform tents but expand your setup footprint, our consultants integrate every accessory into your size estimate to secure airflow, comfort, and code compliance.
