Three Unique Wedding Tents Types

Generally speaking, a rental tent costs anywhere between $.65 and $1.40 per square foot of space or more. However, some wedding tents are special, the tent rental and design also relatively vary to other tents.

Also, if you over-focus on the cost of the tent, you may make a bad decision on the tent, as a result, the outside tents are not suited for your wedding. Here are three outstanding types of outdoor wedding tents. Note: Due to the market floating, the following rental price only can be used for reference.
 

Sailcloth Tents

Sailcloth tents provide the most beautiful view to guests and hosts. It not only allows natural light to shine in but also positively glows when lit for evening gatherings.

It adds additional aesthetic elements to the wedding, with its special, light, semi-translucent material. Therefore, the rental cost of sailcloth tents would be relatively high. The bedrock price of a 20x37 sailcloth tent is about $775.
 

Pole Tents

As its name implies, the tent is supported by poles. Stretched by ropes, the pole tents stay firm with help of corner poles and a center pole. These are white tents commonly used for wedding receptions. If you think the PVC poles of the tent are out of your wedding design, you could decorate them with flowers, lace, or vines.
 
 

Frame Tents

A frame tent is one of the most classic style structure marquees around the world. Compared with pole tents, they don’t need to be supported by center pole. Therefore, the frame tents offer more internal space for the wedding arrangement.

The aluminum frame ensures the tent has high stability. The strong structure of the aluminum frame tent lets the tent can be used for not only weddings but also for outdoor exhibition halls and conferences.

Furthermore, the most outstanding feature of frame tents is their versatility. It could be placed on multiple surfaces, including grass, concrete, or deck. The rental cost of a frame tent is about $300.00 for 15x15.

Someone may think this is my first and only one wedding. Should I buy wedding rents to memorize this special event and prepare for family events in the future?
