Wedding Tent Layout Planner

Lay out your whole wedding to scale — ceremony rows, head table, rounds of eight, dance floor — and watch seating capacity and rental pricing update as you drag. Start from a real template below or build from a blank canvas.

Why Layout First

The Floor Plan Decides More of Your Wedding Than the Flowers Do

Most tented-wedding stress traces back to one moment: the week the couple discovers their guest list doesn't physically fit the tent they budgeted for. Round tables need a 12.5 ft pitch each. A head table eats an 8 ft zone across the top of the room. The dance floor wants 3 ft of clearance on every side, positioned where the DJ can face it. None of that is obvious from a tent's listed dimensions — it only shows up when you draw the room.

That's what this planner is for. Every item in it is sized from our actual rental inventory — the same 20×60 and 30×60 marquees, 5ft rounds, Chiavari chairs, and dance floors we deliver across the Lower Mainland — so if it fits on the canvas, it fits at your venue. The price ticker in the corner runs on our real catalog rates, and when the plan looks right you can send it to us as a quote request with one form, floor-plan image attached.

If you just need the tent size first, the tent size calculator answers that in one click; the event spacing guide has every aisle and pitch number we plan to. And if you'd rather skip straight to a bundled price, our 50, 100, and 150-guest wedding packages pre-assemble the most common combinations.

Four Layout Decisions That Make or Break a Tented Wedding

1. Place the dance floor before the tables. The floor needs to sit where the DJ or band faces it, away from the main service aisle, with 3 ft of buffer all around. Tables flow around a dance floor naturally; a dance floor squeezed in after the tables always ends up in a corner nobody dances in. Our dance floor & DJ space guide covers wattage, placement, and sizing.

2. Decide rounds vs. long tables early. It changes your tent size, your linen order, and your centrepiece count. Long tables seat the same crowd in less space — the planner's "rect" templates show the difference side by side.

3. Respect the head-table zone. Two 6ft banquets end-to-end with seating across the top of the room reserves a full 8 ft of tent depth. Sweetheart table instead? You just bought back a row of guest tables.

4. Plan the flip if you're flipping. Ceremony-to-reception conversions in one tent are completely doable with a cocktail hour to hide the changeover — but the layout has to be designed for it. The flip guide has the hour-by-hour playbook, and backyard couples should start with the backyard wedding tent sizing guide.

FAQ

Wedding Layout Questions

What size tent do I need for a 100-guest wedding?

With round tables and a dance floor, plan on roughly 4,800 sq ft — four 20×60 marquees joined into a 60×80 ft footprint, tents starting around $5,040. Without a dance floor, three joined 20×60s (3,600 sq ft, from $3,780) work. The tent size calculator runs the exact math for your guest count and options.

Round tables or long tables for a wedding tent?

Rounds of 8 give classic sightlines and conversation but need a 12.5 ft pitch each, so they want wide tents. Long banquet rows seat the same guests in 20–30% less floor area and photograph beautifully in a marquee. If your layout almost fits, switching rounds to banquets is usually the move — the planner has one-click templates for both.

Can the ceremony and reception share one tent?

Yes — it's called a flip: guests move out for cocktails while the crew converts ceremony rows into dinner seating. The tent must fit the larger of the two layouts plus working room. Plan both layouts here (start from the ceremony template), and read the flip guide for the timeline.

How do I turn my floor plan into a quote?

Build your layout, then use the planner's built-in quote form — your itemized rental list, estimated total, and a PNG of the floor plan are attached automatically. We reply with a tailored quote, including delivery and setup, within 24 hours. No account needed.
