Summertime is here and you know what that means—it’s wedding season! That’s right—June, July and August are traditionally the busiest times of the year and when most weddings are planned all over the country. But the added advantage of South Florida’s sunshine and lush foliage means stunning wedding photography and an extremely special affair for the blushing bride, dashing groom and guests that will be talked about for years to come. After the photos are taken, direct your friends and family to the event tent to cool off. The serenity of a wedding tent provides the perfect option because it offers a cool place for your guests to socialize and dine (yes, they can be air conditioned so guests are comfortable and food is kept fresh!). What’s more, a clear tent option provides a scenic outdoor window for everyone to enjoy. After all, it is an outdoor wedding!

Here in Hollywood and throughout South Florida, perfect weather is always on tap and especially conducive to planning a beautiful outdoor event at any time of year. And, because rental halls can be extremely expensive today, renting a tent for your wedding may be a more affordable option. Just think—you can have the wedding of your dreams right in your own backyard, in a park or even at the beach which is such a popular venue for today’s modern couple. No matter what time of year in South Florida, outdoor venues are always a popular option and what can make your wedding even more special is a renting a tent from a leading wedding tent rental company in Hollywood like Sunshine Tents & Event Rentals.

Planning for Your Tent: Get Your Wedding Planning Started Now 

If you are early in your wedding planning process, you may not have exact numbers for guests yet, and you may not have even determined what style of wedding party you plan on hosting (i.e. sit-down, buffet, cocktail, punch and pie, etc.). However, if you have a rough estimate, you can get this party (planning) started!  

Let’s start with shape. It’s south Florida, so chances are it’s going to be hot. At Sunshine Tents & Event Rentals, we have discovered that square tents as a general rule will have a taller ceiling, which in addition to looking better, also tend to keep tents cooler. Also, it’s much easier to make sure that all of your guests feel included when they are seated in a squarer-shaped tent. (Just think about those weddings you’ve been to when you were at some far end of a very long tent or stuck at the kids table.)  

There are also several different styles of tents available for rent from Sunshine Tents & Event Rentals, however the most popular are our Frame Tents and our Pole Tents. What you need to take into account when it comes to choosing which type of tent you rent is space, logistics, aesthetics, and (of course) your budget. 

What Else Goes into Renting a Wedding Tent? 

If you have a pretty good idea of the size of your wedding party and type of tent that you want to rent, before getting a price quote, it’s important to think about all of the important extras that you might need or want. For example, clear top tents are a very popular alternative to white tents, but you must keep in mind that if any portion of your event is taking place during the daytime, the blistering sun can turn your clear top tent into a giant, sweaty greenhouseTo make sure that there is no stone left unturned, here are a few other things that you will want to consider when renting a fabulous wedding tent: 

Your Catering Tent—Most caterers require what is commonly referred to as a Catering or Cook Tent. It is a smaller tent, typically adjacent to the larger tent and it’s where the food is prepared and plated. It’s also where things like dirty dishes and trash cans are placed out of sight of your guests (like a little kitchen). However, if you’re having a food truck wedding or drop-off buffet catering, you may not need a secondary tent. Keep in mind your catering tent will also need lighting (it can be industrial/utilitarian) and electricity. Catering may need cooling (i.e. fans) or heating depending on the time of year and weather. 

Flooring for Your Tent—You can use the ground with or without a dance floor, or a full floor under the tent. Obviously using the ground is the least expensive option, but there are a few drawbacks here. If there’s rain in the days leading up to your wedding, your ground can get muddy or soggy. Also, grassy ground can be difficult for guests to walk/dance on in heels (which is another reminder to inform your guests that they would be better served by outdoor-appropriate footwear). If you’re putting the tent on sloped or uneven land, you may want to definitely consider flooring in order to level things out.  

Heating or Cooling Your Tent—If your wedding weather is going to be warm, you’ll want to invest in some cooling equipment such as fans which tend to be the best option. Since tents are neither sealed nor insulated, they require a huge amount of power to keep cool with AC. Fans work great to circulate the air, and large fans are generally economical to rent. If you’re getting married at a cooler time of year, you can rent a tent furnace with a thermostat to warm up the tent. A furnace is usually placed outside the tent where no drunk people can knock it over. 

Lighting Your Tent—If your wedding is going to take place at night, you’ll need some lighting inside the tent. There are tons of lighting options available with Sunshine Tents & Event Rentals, including everything from bistro lights strung across the ceiling, to lanterns to twinkle lights, to can lights mounted on the ceiling or theatrical style stage lights with gels! This is definitely a fun part of tenting events! You can also get lighting that is placed on a dimmer to allow for more mood lighting during dancing or brighter for eatingNOTE: if your site does not provide power, you’ll need to rent a generator. 

Liner for Your Tent—Gathered, silky looking fabric that you see inside tents in the movies or magazines is called “Liner. It is more expensive but it certainly adds a level of elegance and flare that may be priceless.  

Walls for Your TentFor wedding tents, your main types of walls are solid, clear,cathedral (meaning with windows), and fabric. Needing walls mostly depends on the average temperature. If you’re getting married in a warmer climate, you may want to skip the walls. If it’s a cooler climate, walls are probably a good idea. If downpours are common, walls will help keep everything nice and dry.

From dozens of tent styles, to tables, chairs, linens, ceremony chairs, generators, lights, and so much more! Our incredible team will set it all up and break it all down whenit'sover.

By renting a tent from Sunshine Tents & Event Rentals in advance, you’re guaranteed a dedicated dry space so guests can gather until the storm passes. 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.  However, sitting out and having your make up melt off in the hot sun can be just as miserable as a cold rainstormOne of the biggest benefits of a tent for your event this summer is longer lasting fun thanks to the shade that our tents can provide.

Privacy, VIP and Sound: Tents provide you with privacy. An open, outdoor space can feel vast and spread out, but a tent creates a smaller, defined area to pull guests together. It also gives you a barrier between your party and the outside world. Certain events require a separate place for VIP guests to gather and be entertained. A tent can definitely provide this place if there isn’t one available. An intimate celebration like a wedding could feel awkward with neighbors or passersby looking in. A tent makes the party a bit more personal. The beauty about tents is that they come in all shapes and sizes. It doesn’t matter how many guests you have, because there will always be a tent size that can accommodate them. Tents can also act as sound barriers, making the sound inside contained within the structure, while keeping out the noise from the outside.

Summer is here and it’s time to party! Taking advantage of the beauty of South Florida’s natural surroundings by hosing a party or event outdoors seems like a no-brainer. However, planning such an event is a little more complicated than that. While you’re making plans for things like catering, music, and other factors, make sure your money is going to where it really needs to. Here’s five things you should rent instead of buying if you’re planning to host an event this summer! 

Tents 

With Florida’s ever-changing weather, tents are a must for outdoor parties and events. Whether it’s to help your guests stay out of the sun or to protect them in case of sudden showers, tent rentals in West Palm Beach are a convenient way to be prepared for any circumstance. With party tent rentals from Sunshine Tents and Event Rentals, you don’t have to worry about setting up, taking down, or storing the tents. Just give us your time table and our expert event support team will have your tents set up and ready with plenty of time for decorating and other preparations.  

Our durable tents are regularly cleaned and inspected for damage, so you don’t have to worry about them failing in the middle of your party. Once your event is over, we will take care of packing it away so you can focus on other tasks. 

Tables and Chairs 

Hosting a large party? Don’t waste your money on buying dozens of tables and chairs you may never need to use again! Instead, event rentals in West Palm Beach can help you acquire the equipment you need without running around to different stores or paying huge shipping fees if you order them online. Sunshine Tents & Event Rentals offer a variety of table and chair options and combinations for you to choose from to match any theme. Our convenient size chart also helps you determine how many tables you’ll need instead of blindly guessing. Check them out here! 

Lighting 

Planning a nighttime outdoor event? Don’t buy your lighting—rent it instead! From standing lamps to chandeliers, Sunshine Tents & Event Rentals offers elegant lighting options to seamlessly mesh with your event theme and add to the atmosphere. Gone are the days of large, bulky, hot flood lights that can be hazardous and blinding. Our lighting options offer the perfect amount of light without being cumbersome or difficult to navigate around. 

Stages or Dance Floors 

If your event calls for a stage or you want to encourage your guests to cut loose and dance, renting them is a far better trying to purchase the large, bulky, and expensive pieces of equipment. Just as with the tent rentals is West Palm Beach, Sunshine Tents & Event Rentals will professionally set up and dismantle stages and dance floors for you. Our experts will ensure they are secure and safe for use before your event and return for safe removal afterward. These are especially useful for outdoor weddings, company events, or birthday parties.  

Portable Power Sources 

Nothing ruins a party faster than realizing you have no means of powering equipment like sound systems, air pumps for bounce houses, or lights. Renting a portable power source takes that stress off your shoulders and gives you the versatility to host your outdoor event anywhere!
