When planning for a wedding, how do you determine the size of tent needed?

  1. First determine the number of guests you are inviting.
  2. Determine the type of activity you will be having:  dancing, sit down meal, buffet service, !2 piece band or a DJ?
  3. Determine the location for the tent.
  4. Calculate for dance floor – 2-4 square feet per person.  For a 200 person wedding an average dance floor size is 20’ x 20’.
  5. Calculate for seating:  10 foot round table = 100 square feet, 8 foot table = 80 square feet, theater style seating = six square feet per person
  6. Calculate for entertainment:  Four piece band = 12’ x 20’ stage. DJ = 10-‘ x 10’ space.
  7. Calculate for food – A served meal takes less space inside a tent but you must think about preparation/service area that a caterer will need.  If you are planning a buffet, make sure you allow for the tables, any aisle space on either side and an area for line-up.  Don’t forget space for the head table.

Is it better to buy or rent a marquee tent for events?

If you are organizing an event like wedding or church service in Nigeria, you need an event tent that can seat a large number of people at the same time. You are faced with the decision to either buy your own marquee tent in Nigeria or rent one. The decision to buy or rent a tent has many variables. If the tent will be used for 3 or 4 times each year, it is probably better to rent the tent. 

But if you would be using it frequently like holding regular Sunday services in the place, then it is better to buy the tent. You can also [b]buy a an event tent in Nigeria [/b]and set it up while you hire the venue out for others to use. So it’s a good idea to buy even if you will be needing it a few times in a year, so when not in your use-hire it out. Also when you stay in volatile Nigeria regions like Kano, erecting a giant church building with all the expenses may not be a good idea. So you can install an event tent that can move with you in case of any eventuality which we don’t pray for by the way.
