Styles to Suit Any Vibe
iCelebrate Event Rentals offers frame tents starting at 10×10 up to sprawling 40×200 footprints, perfect for garden gatherings, wedding ceremonies, or large-scale fundraisers. High-peak and sailcloth designs lend graceful slopes to evening receptions in Saratoga or Los Gatos, while classic gable frames deliver sharp lines for trade shows and branded activations.
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, while a 30×60 model (1 800 sq ft) accommodates about 150 seated diners or up to 120 with a dance floor, a 40×80 marquee serves 200+ guests, complete with buffets, bar areas, and mingling zones, with CAD-powered mockups supplied so planners preview tent placement and traffic flow in advance.
Plan for Extras Early
Drapes, HVAC units, and barrel anchors add style and stability yet increase needed buffer zones, ensuring heaters, fans, and drapes align with local fire codes and vendor permits. Flooring options—from hardwood dance floors to carpeting—alter load distribution and edge anchoring needs, so locking in add-ons early delivers seamless integration and prevents overspend.
Matching Tent Types to Event Styles
Backyard showers and birthday bashes in Milpitas thrive under 10×20 or 15×30 frames, while fancy ceremonies and large fundraisers demand 30×60 or 40×80 couture tents, complete with draping, sidewalls, and flooring. Sponsor showcases and charity dinners choose 30’ frame tents for floor layouts and signage, whereas PTA fairs rely on versatile pop-ups and peak shelters.
