Many people planning an outdoor event or wedding really love the outdoors. So do we. If you're an outdoors loving person, maybe you prefer to have your event outdoors with no tent at all. Maybe you like the full expanse of blue sky overhead during your wedding ceremony. Maybe you have visions of soft moonlight during your reception. Maybe you want to look up at the green canopy of trees overhead.
We understand this and we have a plan in place for you. Most summer days are lovely, warm and beautiful, but you need to plan for hot days with glaring sun or the stormy days with driving rain. That's where we come in. We allow you to reserve your tent and all the other rental items to go with it. If the weather forecast is beautiful, you can cancel the tent. There are several things you should consider when you're thinking of having a tent as a backup plan:
Rain isn't the only type of inclement weather. Shade from the hot sun can help keep your guests more comfortable too.
Even if you have your wedding ceremony outdoors, it's a great idea to rent a tent for the reception to cover the food, sound system and etc.
If you're planning to light the tent, plan for how you want to light the space if you don't rent a tent. Not all types of lighting work as well outside a tent.
You may want to rearrange your seating layout if you don't rent a tent.
If in doubt, rent a tent. It's much better to rent a tent and not need it than cancel the tent and wish you had it.
So, how does it all work? When you reserve, we require a 25% deposit. This guarantees that your tent will be available in case of inclement weather. However, you may cancel the tent if the weather forecast looks beautiful. You may make this decision up until 9:00 AM of the business day before delivery and save yourself the remaining 75%. If you cancel after 9:00 AM, you save 50% of the tent rental cost. There are two exceptions to this: linens need to be cancelled one day earlier than tents in order to get a 75% refund and permits are not refundable at all. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your guests will have shade from the hot sun or cover from the rain. Yet, you have the option to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. So, reserve today to plan an event that will be beautiful no matter what the weather.

Tents for Haiti Earthquake Victims
We're shipping two tents to Haiti today via Food for the Poor. Two 20' x 40' tents will be used for training tents.
Tarps for Haiti
We've now shipped over 8,000 tarps to Haiti for use as temporary shelters. We are now working with several organizations to provide large tents that will provide better long term shelters, schools and dining facilities until they can be rebuilt.
Haiti Earthquake
Tents For Rent is working with Christian Aid Ministries to provide 10,000 tarps for temporary shelters in Haiti. We have currently secured about 7,000 tarps with rope that are ready to send to Haiti. Some of the tarps have already been airlifted to Haiti and the rest are being packed into containers for shipping. It seems that a tarp is a poor shelter, but many of these people lived under tarps before the earthquake. Also, tarps can be shipped and distributed very quickly and efficiently with limited transportation resources. We are also working with other organizations to provide small tents for housing as well as larger tents for dining facilities and semi-permanent schools.Please pray for these people in Haiti and donate as you are able.
