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, making every setup as effortless as possible.
What to Measure Before You Book
Guest count forms the baseline—banquets need more space than cocktail mixers, and round tables eat up more area than theater rows, while dance floors, stages, and buffet stations demand open get more info zones for circulation, 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.
Tent Collections and Size Ranges at iCelebrate
Our collection spans petite 10×10 shelters to majestic 40×200 pavilions, adapting seamlessly from driveway dinners to high-profile corporate galas. Our sailcloth varieties create stargazing magic under the Silicon Valley sky, and sleek frame tents supply rapid shade for school carnivals and community markets.
Visualizing Before You Rent
Our 20×20 can host forty diners seated or up to fifty attendees for presentations, though floor plans with buffets reduce that capacity, the 30×60 layout seats 150 for plated dinners and can flex to 120 when you roll out a 20×20 dance space, and grand 40×80 pavilions (3 200 sq ft) exceed 200 guests with room for aisles, bars, and lounge sections, and detailed layout schematics we provide help you test seating and service zones before you commit.
Accessories Affect Footprint
Sidewalls, liners, and chandeliers enhance ambiance but require extra clearance around tent perimeters, our consultants integrate every accessory into your size estimate to secure airflow, comfort, and code compliance. Whether you choose turf, mats, or raised platforms, each choice impacts the tent’s staking plan, allowing you to refine your canopy configuration well before event day.
One Size Never Fits All
Cozy celebrations fit perfectly under 10×20 or 15×30 pop-ups, while elegant weddings and quinceañeras in Santa Clara soar beneath 30×60 high-peaks or 40×80 sailcloth tents, complete with draping, sidewalls, and flooring. Corporate launches and nonprofit fundraisers favor 30-ft gables for structured presentation zones, whereas school carnivals lean on modular pop-ups and high-peak demos.
