Event tent rent?
 

Does anyone know how much tent rentals cost for outdoor events?

As with most things involved in event planning, it seems impossible to get even an idea of costs without submitting requests to companies. I just want to get a general idea. For the sake of argument, let's say one large enough to accommodate an event of like 100 people. What would that be, like 30'x50'?

There are so many factors involved it would be impossible to give even a ballpark without knowing more. Just contact a major rental company.

I am not in your market, but this is what I used to do. For Bakersfield you would be looking at a $55 delivery/set up fee. Because of the size you may need a permit. The permitting laws vary, but again, for Bakersfield it would be $95, plus you would need 20' of clearance on all 4 sides and over the top. A tent that size would require stakes, so keep that in mind. The tent itself, would run around $400-500. That would be without sidewalls. Depending on the type of walls, windows, clear, solid, ect... the walls can run $20/linear foot and up.

And, don't forget event insurance costs too. If it's a private venue like someone's backyard, or a public venue like a park, you usually have to carry some form of liability insurance for the event, which some policies make you hire official security too.

From what I compared a couple years ago, it's really not any cheaper than going with a regular event venue, and in fact, some event venues are less.

CP: you know, once I'd written "event tent rental" I couldn't resist going for broke on the rhyming!

DP: that's what I was trying to determine.

Also, if you're going to be serving alcohol, you'll need to get a permit.

And serving alcohol will also up insurance requirements.

Don't forget about hours of operation and noise curfews, depending where the event is going to be and how early/late the event was going to go.
