Tent Collections and Size Ranges at iCelebrate
Choose from compact 10×10 pop-up canopies to elegant 40×200 frame structures, ideal for backyard barbecues, street fairs, and festival main stages. Opt for translucent peak tents to capture moonlight at Mountain View events, while classic gable frames deliver sharp lines for trade shows and branded activations.
Capacity Examples and Layout Tips
With a 20×20 footprint, you get around forty banquet seats or fifty rows, shifting to about thirty once you include service tables, 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, and detailed layout schematics we provide help you test seating and service zones before you commit.
Add-Ons That Influence Dimensions
Decorative linings, climate control, and structural anchors transform tents but expand your setup footprint, 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.
One Size Never Fits All
Cozy celebrations fit perfectly under 10×20 or 15×30 pop-ups, while grand receptions and corporate galas shine under 30×60 or 40×80 frame structures, outfitted with decor-ready linings, branded backdrops, and acoustical drapes. Sponsor showcases and charity dinners choose 30’ frame tents for floor layouts and signage, whereas school carnivals lean on modular pop-ups and high-peak demos.
