What to Measure Before You Book

Tent Collections and Size Ranges at iCelebrate
Our collection spans petite 10×10 shelters to majestic 40×200 pavilions, ideal for backyard barbecues, street fairs, and festival main stages. Our sailcloth varieties create stargazing magic under the Silicon Valley sky, with quick-deploy pop-up options ready for casual block parties or spontaneous gatherings.
How Many Guests Fit?
Our 20×20 can host forty diners seated or up to fifty attendees for presentations, though floor plans with buffets reduce that capacity, while a 30×60 model (1 800 sq ft) accommodates about 150 seated diners or up to 120 with a dance floor, and grand 40×80 pavilions (3 200 sq ft) exceed 200 guests with room for aisles, bars, and lounge sections, plus our digital floor plans let you map every table, stage, website and station for flawless event execution.
Plan for Extras Early
Decorative linings, climate control, and structural anchors transform tents but expand your setup footprint, ensuring heaters, fans, and drapes align with local fire codes and vendor permits. Flooring options—from hardwood dance floors to carpeting—alter load distribution and edge anchoring needs, helping you finalize quotes that cover every element in one transparent package.
Pick by Occasion
Backyard showers and birthday bashes in Milpitas thrive under 10×20 or 15×30 frames, while fancy ceremonies and large fundraisers demand 30×60 or 40×80 couture tents, featuring side curtains, hardwood floors, and lighting rigs. Corporate launches and nonprofit fundraisers favor 30-ft gables for structured presentation zones, whereas PTA fairs rely on versatile pop-ups and peak shelters.
