Site Specifics Count
From Redwood City courtyards to Morgan Hill vineyards, each site demands unique setup logistics, iCelebrate Event Rentals surveys slopes, overhead wires, and underground utilities before delivery, so your event stays on schedule without surprises.
Factors Impacting Square Footage
Seating style drives footprint: 60″ rounds require larger canopies than straight-row chairs, added elements like photo booths or inflatable games create no-overflow buffer requirements, and obstacles—trees, slopes, and hardscape—dictate orientation and anchoring zones, iCelebrate Event Rentals folds every variable into our size recommendations to ensure comfort without overspending.
Styles to Suit Any Vibe

High-peak and sailcloth designs lend graceful slopes to evening receptions in Saratoga or Los Gatos, with quick-deploy pop-up options ready for casual block parties or spontaneous gatherings.
How Many Guests Fit?
With a 20×20 footprint, you get around forty banquet seats or fifty rows, shifting to about thirty once you include service tables, 30×60 tents support 150 banquet chairs yet compress to 120 when you need open areas for dancing, a 40×80 marquee serves 200+ guests, complete with buffets, bar areas, and mingling zones, with CAD-powered mockups supplied so planners preview tent placement and traffic flow in advance.
Accessories Affect Footprint
Drapes, HVAC units, and barrel anchors add style and stability yet increase needed buffer zones, helping you factor in lighting rigs, staging, and flooring to avoid last-minute reconfigurations. Custom floor systems and risers demand additional tent size and anchoring strategies, so locking in add-ons early delivers seamless integration and prevents overspend.
One Size Never Fits All
