Tent Sizing & Planning

What Size Tent for 100 Guests with a Dance Floor?

A 20×40 with 13 rounds and a 12×12 floor is a fight. We install a 20×60 ($1,260) on the 100-guest Covered package for a reason.

0120×60

Thirteen rounds and a 12×12 floor do not fit a 20×40 without stacking guests on the DJ. We install a 20×60 at $1,260 — the 100-guest Covered tent.

Ceremony-only at 100 can live in a 20×40. Dinner plus dancing cannot.

Key Takeaways
  • 100 + dance floor → 20×60.
  • Covered 100-guest package already uses it.
  • 20×40 is the 50-guest dinner tent.

05Field notes from the warehouse

Thirteen rounds and a 12×12 do not share a 20×40 with a DJ. We install a 20×60 at $1,260 — Covered 100-guest already made that choice. Ceremony-only at 100 can stay in a 20×40. Dinner plus dancing cannot.

Run the calculator with dance floor on. You should see 20×60.

20×60 $1,260 + 12×12 floor in the $500–$1,100 band + delivery from $175. Covered $1,614 has the tent and seating, not the floor. Add the floor on the quote.

Heat $100/day, walls $50/day for September.

Keeping a 20×40 to save $160 is the most expensive save when guests cannot reach the cake without crossing the floor.

16×16 plus 13 rounds plus a buffet still wants this 20×60, and the buffet may need to live under a second roof or outside.

A real hold, not a “from” price: 20×60 marquee for 100 seated plus a 12×12 floor is $1,260.00 CAD before tax on the published list. Twenty-five percent is $315.00 in RentKit the day you book. Balance $945.00 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.

An 8×8 under 100 guests who actually dance is a queue, not a floor — 12×12 is the usual. Put the DJ on the floor edge in the planner, not in an aisle you still need for cake.
