Finding a cheap wedding tent (or marquee) can be frustrating and a bit scary! What if it isn't big enough? If it falls down? Or it just looks cheap and would be better placed in a Scout camp?
How much space do you really need? A good start is to measure how much space you have for the wedding tent, this is then the maximum and it is no point looking at larger tents. The normal way of working out how much space you need is to allow for 10-12 square feet per person if sitting for dinner, 6 square feet per person for the ceremony and 2 square feet per person on the dance floor. Don't panic not everyone is up dancing at the same time! You will need to calculate in serving tables - 100 square feet and DJ 200 square feet.
