Let's start from the beginning. Before you can dive into tent product research and reviews, it’s important to take a step back and assess the basics. A helpful starting place is often the size of the event. Estimating the number of people your event will attract helps to find the tent size you’ll need. For example, if you’re hosting 50 people, a 26x13ft tent might be perfect for a cocktail mingle event, but it would be a bit tight for a seated dinner.

Next, consider the functionality you’ll need to support in an event tent. Will you be serving food, selling goods, or demonstrating a product? Each of these activities might lend themselves to a tent feature, such as walls, flooring, counters, lighting, or even heaters. Our Experts can always help if you’re not sure what size or accessories will be appropriate for your event.

Purchasing an event tent is an investment, so no matter your occasion, it’s important to select a long-lasting option that can serve your needs well beyond a single use. Regardless of the shape, size, or Series, all of our event tents are built with durability in mind.

Our canopy tents and pavilions feature aluminum construction frames and optional add-ons like cast-iron base weights, giving you ultimate peace of mind that your Mastertent will stand strong, even with frequent use. 

Unlike many of our competitors, we create our products to be easily serviceable. Meaning, if you ever need to repair your tent, you can replace individual parts, rather than buy a whole new tent.

While many aspects of your event are within your control, weather is not one of them. Be sure to select an event tent that can stand up to sun, wind, and rain, especially if you’re planning an outdoor event in a harsh climate. We stress-test our tents in high-power wind tunnels to ensure they can endure gusts up to 75 mph. 

Our waterproof fabrics and other innovative solutions, like our canopy tent rain gutters, mean even the dreariest weather is no match for your Mastertent. You can relax knowing that your tent will withstand the elements come event day.

Make your event tent YOU. Whether you’re aiming to wow customers or stand out from your competition, a beautiful, custom event tent can go a long way toward helping you make a great impression. Customizable event tents are one of the most effective ways to draw attention. With branded printing options, colors that catch the eye, and other event tent features like walls, flooring, and counters, the right design can be the difference between a forgettable display and a truly memorable experience.

Any event planner knows that good lighting is critical to setting the right mood. Whether your event kicks off in the morning and lingers into the night or starts at dusk as the sunlight dims, don’t forget to consider how your tent will transform throughout the day. 

Including tent sidewalls not only provides privacy, but also helps block wind. Meanwhile, LED Light Strips create a seamless day-to-night transition for night markets, events, weddings and corporate occasions. The best event tent setup allows for a seamless transition from day to night, so you can make a beautiful statement at any hour.
