What our crew brings on the truck
White ceremony chairs staged for a Walnut Grove backyard wedding.
Same single inventory and crew calendar across the entire Lower Mainland. A Walnut Grove couple gets the same catalogue any other city gets — without short-ships, without sub-rentals from another vendor.
On the truck for a typical Walnut Grove event:
- Marquee tents from 20×20 up to 30×60, weather-rated, with sidewalls and lighting add-ons
- White Chiavari chairs for receptions, Fanback folding for ceremony rows
- 5ft round tables seating 8 guests, plus 6ft and 8ft banquet tables
- Portable dance floors in 12×12, 12×16, and larger configurations
- Bistro lighting, cocktail highboys, linens, and heaters as add-ons on the same quote
- Engineered ground stakes — the default anchor on Walnut Grove backyard grass
Established-suburb backyards have generous footprints. Most accept a 20×40 comfortably with room for the cocktail hour off to the side.
Established-suburb character and Walnut Grove operational realities

Older trees, mature yards
Walnut Grove’s tree cover is more mature than Willoughby’s newer blocks. We measure marquee peak clearance against existing tree canopy during the pre-quote walk; our 13’ peak fits most but not all yards.
Backyard reception scale
Most Walnut Grove backyard weddings run 60–120 guests under a 20×40 marquee with cocktail hour staged in the front yard or side patio. Established-suburb lot sizes give us flexibility on layout that newer-development townhouse complexes don’t.
Derby Reach Park access from the south
Walnut Grove sits on the south approach to Derby Reach Regional Park — the trailhead and ceremony zones along the Fort to Fort Trail are accessed from this side. We coordinate Derby Reach permits with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks during quoting.
Per-item pricing
The same in Walnut Grove as in Willoughby or Fort Langley. Our 5ft round table is one rate, full stop. The line that changes is delivery — distance from our warehouse, alley access, anchor — never the per-item rate.
School events and community functions
Walnut Grove Secondary runs grad season May through June, and the surrounding elementary and middle schools have year-round PAC events, fundraisers, and family-day functions. These bookings typically run 3–4 week lead times (faster than wedding procurement) and need 200+ Fanback folding chairs plus 20–30 banquet tables, no marquee. Single-truck deliveries that stage in 3–4 hours.
A 100-guest Walnut Grove backyard wedding rental order
For a 100-guest Walnut Grove backyard wedding — say a Saturday in August in an established-suburb yard with cocktail hour in the front and reception under marquee in the back — a typical order looks like:
- 1 × 20×40 marquee tent with sidewalls (covered reception)
- 100 × white Chiavari chairs (ceremony rows in the back yard, then re-staged at reception tables)
- 12 × 5ft round tables for the reception
- 6 × 6ft banquet tables (head, gift, cake, DJ, registration, bar)
- 1 × 12×16 portable dance floor
- 2 × cocktail highboys for the front-yard cocktail hour
- Bistro string lighting along the marquee ridge
- Engineered ground stakes (default for grass)
Setup runs 4–5 hours; teardown 2–3. Both quoted up front. For larger 150-guest setups (more common at Walnut Grove acreages near the Gloucester border), a 20×60 marquee or two linked 20×40 tents replaces the single tent. The 50/100/150/200 rental checklist maps the same configuration to your headcount.
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.
