01What a 20×40 marquee costs
Our 20×40 marquee is $1,100 per event. That number is on the published price list and on the 20×40 marquee product page — not a starting-at teaser. Marquee prices are per event: one figure covers delivery-day install, your event, and teardown. The 10×10 popup is the exception (per day, pickup).
About 90 minutes with two crew. Install is in the $1,100.
- $1,100 per event for the 20×40 marquee.
- 800 sq ft under canvas.
- Capacity: about 80 seated, or 100 for ceremony.
- Delivery from $175. Marquee frames are not a warehouse pickup. 25% deposit locks the date.
02Who actually fits
This is the tent inside our 50-guest Covered wedding package ($1,236 for tent + 7 rounds + 55 fanbacks, 10% off already). A 12×12 dance floor eats 144 sq ft — dinner for 50 plus dancing wants this footprint, not a 20×20.
Square footage is not guest count. A 800 sq ft floor plan still needs aisles, a buffet, and (if you booked one) a dance floor. Use the tent size calculator or the visual size chart before you fall in love with a headline price.
Sidewalls are $50/day. Heaters are $100/day. Bistro lights are $45/day. None of those are folded into the tent line unless you are on Garden Premium.
Neighbour sizes, so you do not shop the wrong SKU: the 20×40 marquee is $1,100 per event and 800 sq ft. We do not rent a 40×60 or 40×80. If a quote lists those footprints, or sailcloth, it is a different shop. The 40×80 on our size chart is a planning reference, not a SKU.
03What the tent price does not include
Chairs, tables, linens, dance floor, Starlink, and batteries are separate SKUs on the same truck. Pickup from 9317 188 St, Surrey is free. Delivery starts at $175 and is quoted to the address before you pay. We stake on grass as the default; Richmond parks and most driveways go to ballast because you cannot put steel in that ground.
A 25% deposit locks the date in RentKit. The remaining balance is due before we roll. Weekend events are usually Friday install / Sunday teardown — still one marquee event price.

If you already know the guest count, skip shopping sizes and open the matching package: 50, 100, or 150. Covered tiers already pick the tent we will actually install. For à-la-carte, stay on 20×40 marquee and add tables from /tables.
05Field notes from the warehouse
800 sq ft, $1,100 per event, ~80 seated or 100 ceremony. This is the tent inside the 50-guest Covered package ($1,236 with 7 rounds and 55 fanbacks). Ninety minutes, two crew, install in the price.
GSC still sends '20×40 tent' queries to product pages. This post is the cost URL so the SKU page can keep the transactional SERP.
$1,100/event + delivery from $175. Sidewall $50/day. Heater $100/day — two for a September dinner. Dance floor extra $500–$1,100. 25% locks the Saturday.
Price neighbours: 20×30 $630, 20×60 $1,260. The jump to 20×60 is $160 for 400 more sq ft — that is why 100-guest dinners skip this size.
A 12×12 floor plus 13 rounds does not fit here. That layout is a 20×60 conversation.
Patio/deck installs are a different stake problem — read tent over a patio.
A real hold, not a “from” price: 20×40 marquee, per event, install included is $1,100.00 CAD before tax on the published list. Twenty-five percent is $275.00 in RentKit the day you book. Balance $825.00 before the crew rolls from 9317 188 St, Surrey. Marquee frames stay on our truck — they are not a warehouse pickup. Delivery starts at $175, quoted to the pin so Vancouver and Harrison are not a 7 AM surprise.
