What our Port Moody tent lineup covers
A 20×40 marquee staged for a Port Moody waterfront ceremony.
The same single inventory and crew calendar runs across the entire Lower Mainland. A Port Moody tent install gets the same equipment any other city gets — without short-ships, without sub-rentals from another vendor.
On the truck for a typical Port Moody install:
- 20×20 marquee — Rocky Point cocktail hour, supplemental outdoor zone, smaller backyard birthday
- 20×40 marquee — 60–80 guests under one tent
- 20×60 marquee — the workhorse for 100-guest weddings, full ceremony-to-reception coverage
- 30×60 marquee — 150–200 guests, larger Bert Flinn Park and Anmore-border setups
- Sidewalls, bistro lighting, heaters, fans as add-ons on the same quote
- Stakes plus ballast on waterfront grass; standard staking inland; full ballast on hardscape
Rocky Point waterfront, Heritage Mountain hillside, Buntzen forest — three different anchor strategies. We don’t default to “what worked last weekend.”
Port Moody tent install patterns we cover
Cocktail highboys staged for a Heritage Mountain backyard event.
Rocky Point and Shoreline Trail — waterfront
Inlet wind, salt air, tight permit setbacks. Stakes plus ballast every time, sidewalls recommended year-round, marquee size adjusted to fit the specific permit zone rather than the nominal headcount.
Bert Flinn Park and Buntzen — open and forested
Bert Flinn Park is more flexible on marquee size; the meadow zones work for marquees up to 30×60. Buntzen Lake’s forest sites stay smaller (20×20, 20×30) and run hand-carry delivery from the parking lot.
Heritage Mountain hillside
Standard delivery truck handles Heritage Mountain’s newer streets. Backyard installs need slope-aware anchor strategies — supplemental ballast on the downhill side for steeper grades.
Anmore-border acreage
Anmore-border weddings off Sunnyside Road run rural-road truck access. Most acreage installs are 20×60 or 30×60 marquees; truck reaches the site without issue but pre-staging closer to the ceremony zone reduces carry distance.
Inlet Centre, Moody Centre, civic
Port Moody Arts Centre and Inlet Centre civic venues are typically table-and-chair bookings rather than full marquee installs. When marquees do come into civic events, they tend to be 20×20 cocktail tents on the plaza.
Per-item pricing
The same at Rocky Point as on Heritage Mountain. Our 20×40 marquee is one rate, full stop. The line that changes between bookings is delivery — anchor strategy, after-hours timing — never the tent rate.
Same-day setup and ceremony-to-reception flips
Many Port Moody weddings run a single-tent ceremony-to-reception flip — same chairs, same marquee handle both phases, with our crew rearranging the layout in 30–45 minutes during the cocktail hour. Our ceremony-to-reception flip playbook covers the layout math.
A 100-guest Port Moody tent rental order
For a 100-guest Port Moody wedding — say a Saturday in August at an Anmore-border acreage with ceremony and reception under a single tent — a typical tent-side order looks like:
- 1 × 20×60 marquee tent (covered ceremony + reception in single footprint)
- 4 × tent sidewalls (full enclosure for evening)
- 8 × bistro string-light strands across the marquee ridge
- 1 × tent heater (October–April bookings; optional in summer)
- Engineered ground stakes plus ballast (default for acreage grass; full ballast on hardscape)
Setup runs 4–5 hours for a 20×60 + sidewall configuration; teardown is 2–3 hours. Both quoted up front. The 50/100/150/200 rental checklist maps the marquee sizing.
Why couples book us a second time
We’re a small enough team that the person who quotes your event is on the truck the morning of. We’re large enough that we own every line item — tent, chair, table, dance floor, lighting — and don’t sub-rent.
160+ five-star Google reviews. One number to call from quote to teardown. A quote you can read top-to-bottom in under a minute. That’s the service.
