We handle everything! Our professional crews deliver, install, stake, and tension your tent. After your event, we return to take it down. Installation is included in most tent rentals, and we ensure everything is secure and safe.
Our tents are engineered to handle Bay Area weather including rain and moderate wind. We can add sidewalls for extra protection. For high-wind forecasts, we reinforce staking and may recommend additional anchoring. Safety is always our top priority. For more on weather protection, read our guide on whether you really need tent sidewalls.
For peak wedding season (May-October) and popular weekends, book 4-8 weeks in advance. Off-season and weekday events may have more availability. Contact us as soon as you know your date, and we’ll check availability and hold your reservation.
A frame tent uses a self-supporting steel frame with no center poles, making it ideal for patios, parking lots, and backyard spaces where staking into grass isn’t possible. A pole tent requires center and perimeter poles anchored into soft ground — it covers more area at lower cost but needs open outdoor space. For a full side-by-side comparison, see our guide: which tent is right for your event — frame vs. pole vs. clear top.
