Tent Rentals in Sarasota, FL

Tent Types & Uses

We offer a full lineup of tent rentals in Sarasota to suit every event — from intimate backyard gatherings to large weddings, corporate functions, and community festivals. Our inventory includes everything you need to build a complete event space: high-peak frame and pole tents, pop-up packages for casual events, lighting, sidewalls, flooring, and furniture. Below is a breakdown of the most popular options and how each one performs at Sarasota venues like Siesta Key, Bayfront Park, and Payne Park.

High-Peak & Frame Tents — Elegant, Versatile, Reliable

Our high-peak and frame tents give events a polished, professional look while maximizing usable space. Options range from a compact High Peak Tent 20×20 (perfect for intimate dining or a DJ booth) up to larger options like 20×40 High Peak and 20×60 High Peak Frame tents for seated receptions. Frame tents have no center poles, so they’re ideal for layouts with long banquet tables, dance floors, stages, or open lounge areas. For larger productions and festivals, our 40×40 pole tent and 20×40 premium pole tent create dramatic covered spaces that work well for big weddings, vendor rows, and community events.

Backyard & Small-Event Packages — Fast, Affordable, Attractive

For smaller backyard parties or low-key gatherings, our Backyard Tent Package (32-person) and pop-up-style canopies provide quick shade and a tidy footprint. These packages are budget-friendly and include everything an average family needs: a tent, tables and chairs, and optional lighting.

Pole Tents — Classic Look for Big Events

Our pole tents (30×30 and larger, including the 40×40 pole tent) create the classic peaked tent silhouette many clients look for at festivals, fairs, and large outdoor weddings. These tents are visually striking and provide great airflow for Florida evenings. They do require staking or appropriate anchoring, so they’re best suited to grass sites or locations where the ground can be properly secured.

Clear-Top, Sidewalls & Weather Protection — Keep Guests Comfortable

Want to preserve the view or host an elegant evening under the stars? Clear-top tents or tent sidewalls with windows bring natural light and a premium feel to waterfront and beachfront events. We also carry solid sidewalls, sidewalls with windows (20' sections), and sidewalls with door entrances to protect against wind and rain and to provide privacy or create separate zones inside larger tents. For event locations on sand (Siesta Key) or uneven ground, we use sand-safe anchoring and protective mats to preserve the surface and secure the tent.

Lighting, Power, & Comfort — Details That Make an Event Shine

Lighting transforms tents after dark. We stock tent lighting packages sized for 20×20 and 20×40 tents (and larger setups on request), from practical illumination to decorative café or chandelier-style lighting. For power needs, our generators can run lighting, sound, and small climate-control equipment. We also offer climate comfort options like fans or can work with rental partners for heating/cooling if needed.

Tables, Chairs & Specialty Seating — Practical & Presentable

Complete your tented space with the right furniture. We offer 60" white round tables, white 6 ft tables, 30" cocktail tables, and seating options including white folding chairs, black fanback chairs, and more premium pieces like throne / Santa chairs for special occasions. Bundling tables and chairs with your tent rental ensures coordinated delivery and setup, saving time and simplifying logistics.

Accessories & Event Extras — Create the Right Ambience

Make your tented area function like an indoor space with flooring, sidewalls, lighting, and staging. We offer tent side walls (solid and windowed), tent lighting packages (priced for 20×20 and 20×40 tents), and extras such as tiki bars for a tropical touch.
