In preparing for an event there are so many things that find their way on to your To-Do checklist. One of those very important things – before you can decide anything else – is where you are going to hold the event! Sure, there are banquet halls, conference centers, homes, parks, etc. One of the best, most useful options that is available to event planners is a tent rental. There are so many benfits to using tents for events, such as detailed customization to fit your needs and climate control if you are looking for a more indoor-type of feel for your party guests.
Wait –there’s more! Tent rentals are packed with benefits for your next event. Check it out.
Easier to handle a crowd – Take it outside
Have you ever thrown an event and had guests either ignore your request for the RSVP or bring their kids, their friends, next door neighbors, and their uncles dog, too? Unless you have friends with superb etiquette, you will never quite know how many people will show up to your party. This is especially true if it is an event without invites, such as a trade show or other corporate-type event.
Thankfully, should you choose to hold the festivities in a tent rental, you will not have to worry about running out of space. First, tents for events are roomy and have a wide-open space with no inside barriers. Second, their walls are not permanent. Should they need to be raised or opened to allow for the overflow of guests, it’s a simple fix.
Tent rentals allow you to avoid having your guests feel as though you are stuffed inside concrete walls without much room to maneuver.
Tents for events provide a blank canvas to decorate & create layout
Imagine throwing a particular-themed party or an extravagant wedding ceremony. You have the vision in your head, you just need to make it come to life. With a permanent structure that has a pre-existing layout and color scheme, you may have to make sacrifices when decorating. However, when using tents for events, you will be provided with a blank canvas to start with.
Make your vision a reality by transforming a tent rental in your masterpiece – creating both the décor and the layout.
Less concern about messes & easy cleanup
Outdoor events allow you to keep the mess outdoors! This is especially true if your party is in your backyard. Keeping it out of your house means that you no longer need to be concerned about spilled drinks, dropped food, broken furniture, etc. Multiply all of that by your number of guests and you will see the benefit here.
In addition to not worrying about messes, you will also appreciate how easy cleaning up can be with a tent rental. Everything is open and accessible, allowing you to skim through and collect trash. Unless your guests have caused damage to the tent, then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about!
Protection from the weather
Tent rentals can be used during any season and in just about any environment. They are strong and sturdy structures that have been constructed to withstand much of the inclement weather you may encounter. Of course, tornadoes, hurricanes, and heavy storms will still want to be avoided. With any other weather, however, your event should be a successful one.
Having an unprotected outdoor event in the heat of the summer can lead to some serious risks, such as:
- Loss of concentration and loss of ability to do minor tasks
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Muscles cramps and muscle weakness
- Dizziness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Severe thirst
- Heavy sweating
An unprotected outdoor event in the winter time could lead your guests to suffer from:
- Stiff muscles
- Slowing pulse
- Confusion
- Weakness
- Shallow breathing
- Shivering
- Loss of consciousness
And, if your event happens to be in a thunderstorm:
- Be warned of lightning strikes.
- Avoid water, tall trees, and other conductors of electricity.
- Take shelter immediately in an enclosed shelter.
See, all types of weather can wreak havoc on your outdoor event. If you are not prepared, you may end up having to cancel. However, if you use tents for events, then you and your guests will be protected at all times. Your tent rental will act as:
- A shade from the sun and all its damaging effects.
- A way to warm up from the cold.
- A shelter from the storm.
Tent rentals can be customized to include climate control. If you choose this, then no matter how cold or hot it is outside, the temperature inside your tent will be just perfect for your happy guests.
Branding & concept creation
If you are hosting corporate events or will be appearing at trade shows, there are benefits to you having a tent for that event, as well. Consider this: What if you could work on your company’s branding, make a significant impact, and not really do anything but stand under your tent? Awesome, right? Tent rentals are completely customizable and that includes adding your company name, logo, colors, etc. to the tent itself. In turn, it becomes a free-standing billboard. What more could you ask for?
In addition, because the customized tent you have comes with a blank area for decorating, you can transform it in any way necessary to make your impression. It allows you to make a bold or subtle statement and leave an impact on the venue.
It’s a known fact that when a client’s jaw drops at how magnificent your booth/tent is, they are going to talk about it. What happens when they talk about it? They will remember you! Now, that is a benefit worth renting a tent over, wouldn’t you say?
Tent rentals come in all shapes and sizes. They can come equipped with sidewalls and flooring, including dance floors and stages. If you want it natural and outdoorsy, then you can have that, too – and keep the ground as your floor! All in all, the benefits of using tents for events mean that you can transform them in so many ways to create the exact venue you want.

I love that this pointed out that you never actually know how many people will be showing up to an event, as friends may invite others to come with them. I like the idea of taking the party outside with an event tent, as it keeps you home somewhat safer from disaster. My friend recently got engaged, so I think she may be interested in renting a party tent, especially since she wants to have an outdoor wedding. I’ll share this with her for sure.
You make a good point that tent rentals will be sturdy and strong and can withstand a lot of inclement weather. My wedding is going to be outside, and I was just looking at what the weather is going to be, and I might have a bit of a problem. It says that it will rain, but I still want to have the reception outside. I’ll have to find somewhere that I could rent a canopy or tent to make sure we’re protected.
I like what you said about the ability to keep messes outdoors when using a tent for a party. I think that part tents can provide a unique atmosphere for guests and it creates a great conversation piece. My wife and I are thinking about hosting a party, so we’ll be sure to find the best part tent rental service available that understands our needs.
That is a good point that having an outdoor event in the winter time without a tent could lead to my guests suffering. Maybe it would be good to get a tent for an event in the winter time. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about my guests getting stiff muscles.
My aunt is thinking about putting together a party and she really wants to do it outside in the nice air so that there is more room. Renting a tent from a professional could be really useful and help keep the weather out. I liked what you said about how they won’t run out of space and they will allow for more decorations.
