Tent Styles

When planning an event, selecting the right tent is about more than just shelter. It’s about enhancing comfort, supporting your layout, and setting the tone for your space. At EventWorks, we offer a curated selection of premium tent styles tailored to suit events of every size and setting.

Highpeak Tents: Visual Impact Meets Luxury

Highpeak tents feature swooping peaks and elegant lines, giving your event a refined silhouette that photographs beautifully. These tents are popular for weddings, galas, and formal functions thanks to their striking roofline and tensioned structure. Their center poles add height and drama while allowing for creative décor elements like hanging florals or lighting installations.

Frame Tents: Versatile And Obstruction-Free

Frame tents are one of the most adaptable options available. Constructed with a self-supporting metal framework, these tents require no center poles, leaving the interior completely open for flexible layouts. They work well on various surfaces, from grassy lawns to asphalt driveways, and are ideal for installations near buildings or other structures.

Clear Frame Tents: Seamless Views, Stunning Ambiance

Clear frame tents deliver all the benefits of standard frame tents, with the added bonus of a transparent roof and/or sidewalls. Perfect for events where the setting is part of the experience, these tents allow guests to dine under the stars or enjoy the natural surroundings by day. They’re a top choice for high-end outdoor affairs looking to strike a balance between shelter and scenery.

Pole Tents: Traditional Charm With Soaring Ceilings

Pole tents are known for their graceful curves and high center peaks, offering a timeless aesthetic that works beautifully in open lawn spaces. These tents require staking and center poles, which can serve as decorative focal points. Their soft, swooping design brings a sense of tradition and warmth, making them popular for casual and upscale events alike.

Structure Tents: Heavy-Duty Coverage For Large-Scale Events

Structure tents are the most durable and robust option, engineered with aluminum beams for maximum strength and weather resistance. With no interior poles and high ceiling clearance, these tents provide a clear-span interior ideal for elaborate layouts, staging, and larger guest counts. They’re frequently used for festivals, long-term installations, and high-capacity events where stability and space are critical.

No matter your event type or guest count, the EventWorks sales team is here to help you find the tent that balances functionality, safety, and style. We also offer a full range of tent accessories, climate control solutions, and lighting enhancements to ensure every detail supports your vision, comfortably and beautifully.

The right tent style sets the foundation, but lighting and decor shape the mood, highlight design elements, and guide the guest experience as the sun goes down. At EventWorks, we offer lighting options that combine beauty, warmth, and practicality to help you create a tented environment that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

Create Ambiance With Statement Chandeliers

Chandeliers bring a layer of sophistication and elevate your tent's visual impact. Whether you're hosting a romantic reception or a fancy gala, our curated chandelier collection offers lighting with personality and presence:

• Gilded Iron Lantern Chandelier: A dramatic focal point with classic appeal.
• Empire Chandelier: Timeless and refined, ideal for traditional tent settings.
• Mod Gold Chandelier: Clean lines and modern flair for contemporary events.
• Dover Chandelier: Understated and versatile to complement any color palette.

These statement pieces work beautifully over dining areas, dancefloors, or in lounge vignettes under highpeak or frame tents.

Add Warmth With Café And Perimeter Lighting

Soft overhead lighting transforms a tent into an inviting space once the sun sets. Our café lighting is available by the linear foot and creates a cozy, ambient glow—perfect for evening receptions and outdoor dinners. Perimeter lighting, available in multiple pricing tiers, helps define the edges of your tent and ensures visibility without overpowering your design.

Want to fine-tune the atmosphere? Dimmer switches give you control over lighting levels throughout the evening, letting you adjust for toasts, dancing, or quieter conversations.

Ground The Look With Wooden Uprights

Wooden uprights offer a polished way to support lighting installations or decorative elements. Use them to frame an entryway, segment a tented layout, or add architectural interest throughout your event space.

Design From The Top Down

Lighting is just one part of a cohesive tent experience. Pair your lighting selections with coordinated linens, specialty chairs, and curated table settings to define your style from floor to ceiling. Bold table linens add energy to birthday or baby shower celebrations, while soft, neutral textures are a perfect fit for refined garden parties or daytime receptions.

Creating a comfortable tented environment goes beyond selecting the right structure. Climate control is essential to keep your guests comfortable and your event running smoothly. At EventWorks, we offer streamlined heating and cooling options that integrate seamlessly with all our tent styles, from highpeak to clear frame tents.

Stay Cool With Reliable Tent Fans

For warm-weather celebrations, proper airflow makes all the difference. Our fan rentals are designed to circulate air efficiently without detracting from your event’s aesthetic.

• Mounted Fan: A discreet solution ideal for tent poles or perimeter areas, helping direct airflow precisely where it’s needed.
• Pedestal Fan: A flexible, freestanding option that provides wide coverage for lounge zones, dance floors, or dining areas.

These fans are well-suited for spring and summer gatherings, offering relief from the heat while blending into your tent layout.

Keep Warm With Professional Tent Heating

When temperatures dip, a dependable heating solution ensures guests stay comfortable from arrival to last call. EventWorks offers high-performance heaters designed specifically for tented environments.

• White Tent Heater – 170 BTU: A powerful and efficient heater capable of warming larger tented spaces.
• Tent Heater Thermostat: Adds easy temperature control, allowing you to adjust warmth as the event progresses.
• Stainless Patio Heater: A sleek, portable option perfect for tent entrances, cocktail areas, or outdoor lounges.

Whether you're planning a crisp fall wedding or a winter soirée, these heaters are designed for safe, even heat distribution within your tent structure.

From mounted fans to thermostat-controlled heating systems, EventWorks’ climate control rentals help you create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere—no matter the weather. Our professional sales team can guide you in selecting the best setup for your tent size, guest count, and season, ensuring your event feels as good as it looks.

A beautifully styled tent may draw the eye, but what’s beneath your feet and center stage plays a major role in your event’s success. At EventWorks, our flooring and staging solutions are designed to blend with your tent style while supporting comfort, safety, and visual cohesion across weddings, galas, corporate events, backyard celebrations, and more.

Dance Floors To Match Every Mood

From first dances to open-air dance parties, EventWorks offers a wide variety of dance floor styles to match your event’s tone and terrain. All options are priced per square foot and can be customized to fit your layout.

• Birchwood, Cherrywood, And Driftwood Finishes: Perfect for rustic or coastal vibes.

• Two-Tone Combos: Classic black and white or checkered white dance floors with wood panels provide playful contrast and visual interest.

These dance floors offer a sturdy, stylish foundation for any celebration under the tent.

Elevated Staging For Speeches, Ceremonies, And Performances

Whether it’s a toast, a band performance, or a wedding ceremony, a well-designed stage creates a natural focal point. EventWorks offers modular staging, priced per square foot, that can be scaled and configured to meet your event’s size and layout. Stage essentials include adjustable steps (white, mahogany, or standard), guard rails and vertical railings for added safety, plus biljax ramps and skirting for a professional finish.

Stage Facades That Complement Your Aesthetic

Upgrade the front of your stage with custom facades that align seamlessly with your overall event design. These decorative panels are easy to install and come in a variety of styles to suit different themes and aesthetics. EventWorks offers Chameleon Stage Facades in Antique Mirror, Boxwood, Gold, or White, with both section and corner pieces available for a polished, cohesive look. For more classic designs, mahogany and white traditional stage facades provide timeless appeal and versatility. The CRUSH Collection expands creative possibilities even further with distinctive styles like the Vivian Gold with Mirror, Maxwell, Lattice, Fiona, and Low-Profile Column options. Each facade adds rich texture, visual interest, and a finished edge that elevates the stage from functional to standout feature.

Specialty Flooring And Ground Protection

For added stability and safety, especially in high-traffic or uneven outdoor areas, EventWorks offers dependable ground support solutions. Grey UltraDeck provides a smooth, durable surface ideal for creating walkways, tent subfloors, or staging areas on solid ground. For more challenging terrain, I-Trac Modular Flooring is engineered to perform on soft or uneven surfaces, ensuring accessibility and comfort throughout your event. Both flooring options integrate seamlessly with tent installations and can be configured to meet the unique needs of your venue layout.

With the right combination of flooring, staging, and facade elements, your tented event becomes a fully realized environment—from the moment guests enter to the final standing ovation. Our sales team is here to help you select the pieces that bring form, function, and polish to every part of your event.

Complete your tented event space with thoughtful accessories that enhance safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. EventWorks offers the following tent add-ons to help bring your event to life:

• White Leg Drapes: Conceal structural tent legs and add a clean, polished finish to your space.
• White French Doors: A stylish entry option that creates a seamless transition between tented and outdoor areas.
• Water Barrels With Covers: Discreet anchoring solutions that provide necessary stability without compromising visual appeal.
• Exit Sign With Emergency Lights: Ensures safety compliance and provides visibility for nighttime events or enclosed tent setups.
• Tent Fire Extinguishers: On-hand safety equipment for peace of mind and venue requirement fulfillment.
• No Smoking Signs: Subtle but essential signage to help enforce venue regulations and protect guest comfort.

Each of these enhancements is designed to integrate effortlessly with your selected tent style, ensuring both form and function are accounted for in your overall event design.

Before any tent is installed, conduct a thorough site assessment. Choose a flat, stable area free from rocks, roots, and overhead obstructions like low branches or power lines. Clear and level ground is essential for anchoring any tent style. If the surface is too soft or uneven, proper anchoring methods like water barrels or staking systems should be used, based on engineering guidelines for the specific tent style.

Anchoring And Structural Integrity

Each tent type has specific structural needs that must be met to ensure safety. Professional installers should use the appropriate anchoring technique to secure tents against wind uplift and shifting. For large or enclosed tents, additional supports such as perimeter weights, ballast systems, or secured sidewalls may be required. All hardware should be regularly inspected throughout the event to confirm stability.

Weather Awareness And Emergency Planning

Keep a close eye on weather forecasts in the days leading up to your event. For high wind or storm conditions, develop a clear backup or evacuation plan. All guests and vendors should know where to go if conditions change. Avoid overcrowding near tent entrances, and never block access paths, which must remain open for emergencies.

Compliance And Permits

Many municipalities require permits for tents that exceed a certain size or serve larger gatherings, and navigating those requirements doesn’t have to be stressful. At EventWorks, our experienced sales professionals work closely with you from the start to help ensure your event complies with all local codes and safety regulations.

Whether you're hosting a backyard celebration or a large-scale corporate event, our team can offer personalized guidance on which safety accessories—like no smoking signs, exit signs with emergency lighting, and tent fire extinguishers—are typically required. We’re here to help you think through the small details that make a big difference, from layout suggestions to safety signage placement, so you can move forward with confidence.

Our goal is to support not only the creative vision of your event but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re fully prepared. Let us be your resource for smart, safety-first planning.

Final Safety Considerations

Safety isn’t just about the setup—it’s about vigilance throughout the event. Keep walkways illuminated, aisles clear, and all safety signage visible. Encourage responsible guest behavior and communicate basic safety measures during your planning phase. When safety is prioritized from the start, your event can proceed smoothly with peace of mind for everyone involved.
