Wedding Tent Rental FAQs
Planning an outdoor wedding in Chapel Hill? Below are answers to the most common questions couples ask about our wedding tent rentals, setup requirements, and add-ons.
How big of a wedding tent do I need?
The size of your wedding tent depends on your guest count and what will be placed under the tent. In addition to seating, you’ll want to account for:
- Tables and chairs
- Dance floor
- Bar and buffet tables
- DJ or band area
We also require at least 4 feet of clearance around the perimeter for proper installation and anchoring. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help recommend the right size.
Will a wedding tent fit in my yard or venue space?
Your space must be clear of overhead power lines, low tree branches, fences, and underground utilities. Adequate access for our delivery truck is also required.
For weddings, we strongly recommend a site visit to confirm measurements and installation logistics before booking.
What types of wedding tents do you offer?
We offer several wedding tent styles depending on your aesthetic and venue:
- Pole tents – Elegant peaks, ideal for grass setups
- Frame tents – Versatile and great for tight spaces
Each tent type has different anchoring and space requirements.
Do I need sidewalls for my wedding tent?
Yes, sidewalls are highly recommended for weather protection. They help block wind, rain, and cooler evening temperatures.
We offer both clear sidewalls for visibility and solid sidewalls for privacy and wind protection.
Can food be cooked under the wedding tent?
No. Open flames, grills, and cooking equipment are not permitted under wedding tents, even with fire-retardant fabric.
Most caterers require a separate catering tent, which we can provide if needed.
When is the wedding tent set up and taken down?
Wedding tents are typically installed 1–3 days before your event and removed after the wedding, depending on venue rules and scheduling.
Exact delivery and pickup times will be confirmed in advance.
Do I need to be present for setup or takedown?
You do not need to be present, but we do require clear access to the site and that all obstacles are removed prior to installation.
Can wedding tents be installed on pavement or decks?
Yes. When tents are installed on concrete, asphalt, or decking, we use heavy concrete weights instead of ground stakes to safely anchor the tent.
What factors affect the cost of a wedding tent rental?
Wedding tent pricing is based on:
- Tent size and style
- Guest count
- Site complexity
- Sidewalls, flooring, and lighting
- Heating or cooling (if needed)
Do I need permits for a wedding tent in Chapel Hill?
Some larger wedding tents may require local permits, depending on size and location. Permit requirements vary by city and venue.
We’re happy to guide you through the process if permits are required.
Are wedding tents safe in bad weather?
Yes. Our wedding tents are professionally installed and designed to withstand typical wind and rain conditions.
For larger weddings, we always discuss weather contingency plans in advance to ensure your day runs smoothly.
