Planning an outdoor wedding, gala, or corporate event? One of the most common questions we hear at Ultimate Occasions is:

What size tent do I need for my guest count?

Here’s your go-to guide for choosing the right tent size to keep everyone comfortable and your event looking spectacular.

Here’s a quick guide for seated events with tables, dance floor, and some extra space:

Guest Count Tent Size (Approx.)

✅ Type of Seating – Banquet tables vs. long farm tables require different layouts.

✅ Dance Floor & Entertainment – Add extra square footage if you want a dance floor, band, or DJ booth.

✅ AV Equipment – Stages, lighting rigs, and video walls need space.

✅ Catering Needs – Buffet stations, bars, or kitchen tents take up additional room.
