Outdoor weddings are for a certain type of couple. Some brides are the “Ballroom and mirrors” type, while others prefer the charm and beauty of nature. A Tipi Tent for an Outdoor Wedding Reception can be incredibly classy, combining style and elegance with a natural setting.
A ballroom has limitations set by the fire marshal, but a Tipi Tent for an Outdoor Wedding Reception offers much more flexibility. The first question to consider is the type of event you’re planning. Is it a cocktail-style reception? A sit-down dinner? Or a BBQ with picnic tables?
In general, the rule of thumb is 15 square feet per person when seated at tables. In fact, some city codes require that as a minimum. Each of our round Tipi tents has 900+ square feet (accommodating 60 people) with all of the sides down. When raised up, the covered area becomes 1,400+ square feet (suitable for 90+ people). Need more room? Just connect another Tipi, so everyone is under the same roof! Check out our floor plan brochure for more inspiration on formations and seating plans!
A less-formal cocktail reception only needs a few seats scattered about, perhaps with a mix of “hi-tops” and lounge furniture. That style usually allows for more guests in the same Tipi Tent for an Outdoor Wedding Reception footprint. And don’t forget space for a dance floor, buffet line, cake or gift tables, etc…
