General

What areas do you serve?

We serve Sacramento and the surrounding areas including Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, and the greater Sacramento County. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, just ask — we're flexible.

Do you deliver and pick up?

Yes. We deliver the day before and pick up the day after. A delivery fee applies based on your event address, and it is shown in your quote. Tents, dance floors, draping, backdrops, and balloon arrangements are professionally installed by our crew. Tables, chairs, and linens are dropped off for you to arrange, with an optional setup service available for $30 per table-and-8-chair set.

How far in advance do I need to book?

2 to 4 weeks for most events. For weddings and quinceañeras, we recommend 2 to 6 months in advance to guarantee availability — especially during peak season (May through October). That said, we've handled same-week requests when inventory is available.

Do you speak Spanish?

Sí, hablamos español. Our team is fully bilingual — you can call, text, WhatsApp, or fill out forms in either English or Spanish. Our entire website is available in Spanish too.

Tents & Setup

What size tent do I need for my event?

As a general rule: plan for 15 sq ft per seated guest (with tables) or 8 sq ft per standing guest. A 20×40 tent (800 sq ft) comfortably seats 80–100 guests in banquet seating. A 30×60 (1,800 sq ft) handles 180–225 guests. Our team will recommend the right size based on your guest count, layout needs (dance floor, buffet, stage), and venue.

Do your tents have center poles?

No. All of our tents are frame tents — completely pole-free inside. This means zero obstructions for your layout, décor, photographer, and guests. No center poles blocking the view or limiting where you can place tables. This is a major difference from pole tents that many competitors use.

What if it rains?

All our tent packages include sidewalls for full weather protection at no extra charge. We monitor the forecast and contact you 48 hours before your event to plan for any conditions. Our frame tents are commercial-grade structures built to handle wind and rain.

Can you set up on concrete or pavers?

Yes. Our crew installs tents with stakes on grass or weighted anchors on concrete, pavers, asphalt, or any hard surface. Same price either way — no extra charge for the anchoring method.

Are sidewalls included?

Yes. Every tent rental includes all four sidewalls at no extra charge. Use none, one, two, or all four depending on weather, privacy, and your preference. We also offer cathedral window sidewalls as an upgrade for a more elegant look.

Is lighting included with the tent?

Yes. Standard interior lighting is included with every tent rental and routed to your nearest power outlet. If you add ceiling draping, your lighting is automatically upgraded to chandeliers at no additional cost.

Tables, Chairs & Linens

How many tables and chairs do I need?

Our 60-inch round tables seat 8–10 guests each. Our 6ft rectangular tables seat 6–8 and 8ft tables seat 8–10. For 100 guests in banquet seating, you'd need roughly 12 round tables and 100 chairs. Our team can help you calculate the exact numbers based on your tent size and layout.

What's the difference between folding chairs and resin chairs?

Folding chairs are our standard white commercial-grade option: clean, sturdy and dependable. Resin chairs have a classic garden-chair profile with padded seats, a more elegant look that's popular for weddings and quinceañeras. Both are inspected and cleaned before every delivery. Current prices for both are on our pricing page.

Do you set up the tables and chairs?

Tables and chairs are delivered the day before your event and picked up the day after. You arrange them however you'd like. If you'd prefer our crew to set them up, we offer a setup service for $30 per table-and-8-chair set — we arrange everything before you arrive.

Are the linens clean?

Yes. Every tablecloth, chair cover and table runner is washed, steamed, ironed and folded at the laundromat after every event, and our drapes are cleaned and pressed by the dry cleaner. They arrive crisp and wrinkle-free, ready to dress your tables.

Décor & Extras

What does tent draping include?

Tent draping is professional-grade sheer fabric installed across your full tent ceiling by our crew. It's priced per 10-foot section of tent length — a 20×40 tent takes 4 sections, a 30×60 takes 6. When you book draping, your standard tent lighting is automatically upgraded to chandeliers at no extra charge.

Can I customize balloon colors?

Yes. Our balloon garlands are fully custom in color: most standard colors are available and we mix them to match your exact event palette. The minimum order is 5 linear feet, and the current price per foot is on our pricing page. We design and install everything on the day of your event.

Can I get a custom backdrop color?

We carry a wide range of standard colors for our pipe and drape backdrops. If you need something outside our standard selection, custom color orders are available for a $100 specialty order fee. Standard installation height is 8 feet, with an option to go up to 10 feet.

Do you provide flowers?

Yes. Our floral arrangements are fully custom-built from your inspiration — share a photo, mood board, or describe your vision. Choose between natural fresh flowers or premium artificial arrangements. Contact us for a quote based on your specific vision and event scale.

Pricing & Booking

How does package pricing work?

When you rent a tent, tables and chairs together, package pricing takes 10% off everything in your order except balloon garlands. Your cart and your quote list every item at its regular price, then show the 10% package discount as one line at the end, so you can see exactly what you saved.

What's included in the price?

Every rental includes: professional installation (for tents, dance floors, draping, backdrops, balloons), all sidewalls, standard tent lighting, equipment cleaning and inspection, next-day pickup, and teardown. Delivery is extra, priced by your event address. No hidden fees — your quote is your final price.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit and debit cards, Zelle, Venmo, bank transfer (ACH), wire transfer, cash, checks and cashier's checks. Credit card payments include a processing fee of about 3%, shown before you pay. Zelle, Venmo, ACH, wire transfer, cash and checks have no fee. A deposit secures your date, the balance is due on delivery, and payment details are in your contract after you approve your quote.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Plans change, so tell us as early as you can and we'll work with you to find a new date based on availability. Your deposit becomes non-refundable 30 days after you sign your contract, or once your event is within 30 days, whichever comes first. The full terms are in your rental contract.

What if you have to cancel because of severe weather?

You won't lose your money. If we can't safely set up because of severe weather, unsafe site conditions, a natural disaster, government action, or anything else outside our control, we'll either refund everything you've paid or apply all of it toward a new date that works for both of us. This is Section IV(C) of your rental agreement. If you choose to cancel over a forecast, the regular cancellation policy applies.

Can I add items after I've already booked?

Yes. You can add items to your order anytime before your event, subject to availability. Just call, text, or WhatsApp us and we'll update your order and adjust the quote.

Event Day

What time do you deliver?

We deliver the day before your event, typically between 8 AM and 5 PM. If you have specific timing needs (venue access windows, etc.), let us know when you book and we'll coordinate.

Do I need to provide power for the lights?

Yes. Our crew routes the tent lighting to your nearest power outlet. You'll need a standard 110V outlet within reasonable distance of the tent. For larger setups or venues without nearby power, we can advise on generator options.

What if something goes wrong during the event?

Call us. Our team is available by phone during your event, and if any equipment needs attention we'll send a crew to handle it. That's the benefit of renting from a local Sacramento company.

Still have questions?

Call, text or WhatsApp us. We answer in English and Spanish, and quotes go out within 24 hours.
