When choosing the size of your tent, the standard guidelines are:
Dinner reception with dancing: 15 to 16 square feet per person
Reception with no dancing: 10 square feet per person
Stand up cocktail party: 6 square feet per person
Seating for a ceremony: 7 square feet per person; plus space for aisles and alter.
TIP: Ask for ten-foot high sides versus 8-foot-high side. This will literally raise the roof and open up your space.
One of my favorite ways to do a tent is with a clear ceiling, made out of clear vinyl that makes the sky and your surroundings part of your decore. Clear tents make a tent not feel as closed in, and are perfect for outdoor weddings that take place among beautiful foliage, sunsets, or natural backdrops
