Rental Questions and Answers
Q

What size tent should I order?

A Party Place offers a wide variety of canopy sizes to accommodate your event needs. Our event professionals will work with you to calculate the canopy needed based on your number of guests in attendance. Of course we also take into consideration the type of event you are hosting (formal dinner, cocktail party, professional fundraiser), the type of furniture you plan to rent (tables, chairs, a bar, dance floor) and the floor plan of your furniture set-up/event.

Q
