Tent Planning Questions
Tent Rentals San Diego FAQs
Do the seating capacities include a dance floor, bar or buffet?
No. The capacities shown are dinner-seating estimates only. A dance floor, DJ, bar, buffet, sweetheart table, backdrop, lounge or other event area requires a larger tent or fewer tables.
Do you use stakes?
No. Fiesta Events uses cement blocks or water barrels depending on the tent width, site and installation requirements.
Can tents be installed on artificial turf?
Some installations may be approved on artificial turf depending on access, anchoring and site conditions. Temporary compression, discoloration or damage may occur.
Are sidewalls available?
Windowed sidewalls may be available for an additional charge depending on tent style, inventory and installation requirements.
What is the difference between a standard tent and a draped canopy?
Standard tents provide practical outdoor coverage. Draped canopies add decorative fabric, a more elevated appearance and optional lighting or hanging décor.
What tent size is commonly used for about 50 guests?
For dinner seating with 60-inch round tables, a 20×30 tent may accommodate approximately 48–60 guests. If you also need a dance floor, DJ, bar, buffet, backdrop or lounge area, a larger tent is recommended.
What tent size is commonly used for about 120 guests?
For dinner seating with 60-inch round tables, a 30×40 or 20×60 tent may accommodate approximately 96–120 guests. The best size depends on your table style and whether other event areas need to fit under the tent.
Does the calculator guarantee that a tent will fit?
No. It is a general planning tool only. The client is responsible for measuring the available area and confirming clearances. Final fit, placement, anchoring, access and installation require Fiesta Events’ review and written confirmation.
What happens if the weather becomes unsafe?
Fiesta Events may modify, delay or decline an outdoor installation when wind, rain, surface conditions or other circumstances make setup unsafe.
