You can not choose your weather, but you can prepare it for it.
I want to tell you a little secret, I know early in the career, you can control a lot of things, but the weather will never be one of them. 'I know I know. 'This is not what you want to hear. No one wants to rent a wedding tent. They may be expensive, daunting thinking, the sky is so cute every year this time. But if you have to rent a wedding tent (do not lie to yourself: outdoors, there is no backup plan, the possibility of rain is great and you may have to) and then you have to make sure your price is in your " From the easy and easy "outdoor site cost early, and then continue to read. Because in fact (surprisingly) there are a lot you need to know:
When do you rent a wedding tent?
It is important to consider whether you need to rent a wedding tent early in the planning process. When you look at the venue, you will want to take the price of the tent into any site without room selection. In essence, if you are considering outdoor venues, and in the days of your marriage the weather is not very good (I think almost the entire East Coast have). Rent a tent should be on your to-do list. Tents are sometimes expensive (depending on some of the factors we will discuss below), so before you fall in love with your dream, you want to put it into your budget.
Ok, now?
Find out how much size you need to get married tents
If you are already in the planning process, you may not have the exact number, you may not have yet decide what kind of style you plan to host (sit down, buffet, cocktails, presses and pies, etc.). However, at this point you need a rough estimate to get a quote. This spreadsheet gives you a general idea of how many square feet you need for different types of events.

As a general rule, you have to choose your website will allow squarest tents. A square tent will have a higher ceiling, which in addition to the good will also make the tent cooler. At the same time, it is easier to ensure that all the guests feel when you are sitting in a square tent.
The first step is done!
Determine what type of tent you want.
There are several tents available for rent, but the most popular are tents and tents. Considering the type of tents you rent, logistics, aesthetics and (of course) budgets, there are three main considerations to consider.
The advantages and disadvantages of pole tent
PRO: pole tents are often more beautiful choices; they are those crowded roofs
PRO: Tents are cheaper
CON: The pole tent will have a center pole / obstacle
PRO: No frame coverage - no pad required
PRO: Rod-type tents require a shorter installation time
CON: must be on the ground
CON: A pole tent requires a clearance for all aspects of the pile and anchor rope (5 to 8 feet on each side)
Frame tent advantages and disadvantages
PRO: can be erected on any surface (eg asphalt, roof, etc.)
PRO: You can connect together, you can have more choices in shape / configuration, you can connect multiple spaces, such as rituals to party walkways
PRO: There is no center pole or obstacle
CON: almost always more expensive than a tent
CON: frame visible from the inside - many people do not like the appearance of the frame, the solution is an expensive pad to cover up
CON: Requires longer installation time
PRO (ISH): can leave for a long time (you know if you want to spend some time at the wedding)
Think about the extra cost of wedding tents ...
If you have a good understanding of the size and type of tents you want, it is important to consider the extra items that you may need or want before getting a quote. These extra costs will make your quotation very varied.
The transparent tents are a very popular alternative to white tents, and generally do not cost more. However, keep in mind that if a part of your activity takes place during the day, the sun can turn your transparent tent into a huge, sweaty greenhouse.
Liner all the collection, silk fabric, you see the tents inside the movie or magazine ... it is a liner. It is expensive and not necessary, especially if you choose a pole tent. If you really have a set of tents that are warned that they can cost up to three times! If you want a colored liner, then you will pay more money. (Hint, you can do much less of the same lighting.)
The main types of walls are solid, clear, cathedral (windows) and fabric. Whether you need walls depends on the average temperature. If you are married in a warm climate, skip the wall. If the climate is cooler, the wall may be a good idea. If rainstorms are common, the walls help keep everything dry. (The walls of the fabric will not help you in the cold or rain, they really just for the.
The choice of flooring when it comes to the floor is plain old ground with or without a dance floor, or a full floor under the tent. Obviously, the ground is the cheapest option, but there are some shortcomings. If there is rain on the day leading to your wedding, the ground will be damp. In addition, the plains are also very difficult for guests to wear high heels to walk / dance (which is why it is very important to tell the guests the best to wear outdoor shoes). If you put the tent on a sloping or other uneven land, you can consider using the floor to level things. The floor can run from $ 1 to $ 4 per square foot, which does not sound like that unless you do math! If you can not afford to complete the floor, consider just add a dance floor (which will be far, much cheaper).
The choice of light, if your wedding is done at night, unless you want your guests to feel the feeling of eating and dancing in the dark, or you need some lights in the tent. There are tons of lighting options from the tavern lights hanging on the ceiling lights flashing lights can be installed on the ceiling or theater-style stage lights with gels. You can also put the lights on the dimmer so that you can have more emotional lighting when you dance. Sometimes couples choose to do their own hands, just suggest that tents do not hang them up and ask you to remove them before the tents are broken. Another important thing is that when you consider your lighting option is power, if your site does not provide electricity, you need to rent the generator.
If the weather is warming, heating and cooling, you will want to invest some cooling equipment. Fans are often the best choice because tents are expensive air conditioning conditions. Since the tents are neither sealed nor insulated, they require a lot of power to maintain the same cooling capacity as the alternator. The fans work very well in air circulation, and large ones are generally economical. If you get married when you are colder in a year, you can rent a tent furnace with a thermostat to heat the tent. I asked some couples to ask questions about renting a water heater in a yard to a tent, but it made me very nervous because they could be at risk of fire, plus they took up space, and the stove was usually placed outside the tent, Of people can turn it over.
Get a quote!
Since you have a pretty good idea of what you are looking for, you can ask for a quote from the leasing company, but where do you find them? Please ask your diet and the venue should be able to provide you with some good reputable options. Otherwise, Google search for "event rental + your location" should produce a lot of results.
When you ask for a quote from the company, make sure that the following items are included in the proposal:
Delivery charges
Labor / tent structures and accessories
Fire / Division Permit (if required)
breakdown
At the same time, make sure you are satisfied with the change / cancellation strategy. Between the booking and the wedding, there are many variables that can change, and if the weather looks amazing, you can choose to change the size of the tent or cancel it. Before making money, make sure these points are written in written form!
How long does it take to get a quote? On average, a 40 x 80 foot long tent takes about four and a half hours to complete. If it is possible in your place, you may want to have a wedding at the scene and prepare a few days before the wedding so that you have time to decorate and play around the floor plan.
Find out if the company will come out before the incident to investigate the land. Some companies charge a nominal fee if you sign a contract and are usually calculated by rent, but you may find the inner peace worth it!
Make sure the seller knows the wedding tent (and you expect the quality of the wedding, not the county town tents, unless that is your thing).
Finally, if possible, rent a company that is not just a tent rental. Many rental companies offer a full range of services from tents to glassware. If you have a place from one place to pay your project to charge the rent to the majority, a supplier is passing, from a time point of view, everything will come once.

Review your offer and book a tents company!
Please remember that if you get the quotation it seems "so incredibly" compared to the other offer you received, the odds are. Most leasing companies sell at the same price. Your decision really should be attributed to who has the most enjoyable choice, who is the easiest to handle (because it will be useful in the future).
