The
information above should only be used as a rough estimate! Please
contact us and we’ll help you decide the proper size tent
for your event.
Do
you deliver and set up?
Delivery, set-up, and take-down of tents is included in our price.
Chairs will be stacked neatly under our tents and we request that
they should be the same way when we return for pick-up, unless
prior arrangements have been made. For deliveries without tents,
a delivery charge is applied. Set-up and take-down of
chairs is not included. If this service is needed, arrangements
must be made in advance of your event and a fee will be arranged
at that time.
When
do you set-up the tent(s)?
We will set the tent(s) up anywhere from 1-3 days prior to your
event. This is dependent upon your needs, our schedule and weather
conditions. As most rentals are for the weekends, we normally
are setting up on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and taking
down on Mondays and Tuesdays. (take downs are often on Sundays
as well if we have Sunday bookings)
How much space is required for staking the tent?
There
should be a minimum of 24" of grass to properly stake the
tents. Any less than this compromises the safety of your guests
and our equipment. We will not install tents without proper staking
conditions! All of our tents are grass set-up only!
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash or checks.
What should I be aware of when renting a tent?
You should be aware of overhead obstacles, such as tree limbs
or low wires and underground utilities or sprinkler systems. Tents
should not be installed under high voltage lines.
What are the advantages to renting a tent?
- Comfort for your guests.
- Tents
provide shelter from sudden rain as well as shade from the hot
sun during the day.
- Tents can
be way more economical than renting a large conference room.
- Taking advantage of hosting a party outdoors.
- Easier clean-up.
- A tent can house more guests than most homes can.
- Tents are more unique...some fresh flowers and perhaps tulle
and white lights and you have a personalized affair that no hall
can match.
- In the warm weather months who wants to be in a hall when you
can be enjoying the outdoors?
Do
you only rent tents?
No. We have a full line of support equipment such as tables, chairs,
linens, place settings and much more. For a complete list of equipment,
E-mail
us or call us at (440) 799-1349.
When should I make my reservation?
As
soon as you have the idea in mind. Since Ohio only offers about
18 weeks of warm weather, people want to take advantage of hosting
their events outdoors. Weekends spots fill up quickly. We never
know when someone will call and reserve our tents. We recommend
that you make your reservation as soon as you can confirm your
plans to assure the availability of the size tent that you will
need.
What Else Have I Missed?
When planning a special event or party in a tent we will help
you in determining the correct size tent for your event. Nobody
wants a tent that is too large or one that is too small. The first
thing we determine is what is going to take place under the tent.
We then work with you to determine how to provide tent coverage
in the most efficient manner.
Here
are some additional questions you might want answered when determining
what size tent will be needed:
-
How many guests will be at the party?
-
How many guests will be seated?
-
Will they be seated at tables?
-
Will they be seated classroom or auditorium style?
-
Will
there be space for guests that will be standing?
-
Will
there be a band or disc jockey?
-
Do
you need space for a stage or dance floor?
-
Will you be having a seated dinner served by waiters or will
you be having a buffet?
-
Will you need any tables for beverages or a bar?
-
Will a table be needed for a wedding cake or for gifts in the
tent?
-
Are there other items that will need additional space such as
coat check, registration area or maybe an area for silent auction
items?
