Browse Marsh Lake Tents & Events’ Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What size of tent do we need for our event?

A. To ensure a successful event, you must first take into consideration the following:

4 square feet per person for a stand-up, mingling event

8 square feet per person for a sit-down dinner (rectangular tables)

12 square feet per person for a sit-down dinner (round tables)

15% of space is required for aisles & fire exits

Extra square footage is required for bar areas, food preparation, stages, dance floors & displays

A good rule of thumb is to multiply the amount of people by the square footage required for your event. This will give you a rough idea of the correct tent size. We have all sizes available in stock.

Q. Do you set up events during the winter?
