The Top Mistakes to Avoid When Renting a Wedding Tent
Clear-Top Tent
Planning a tent wedding or event in Manitoba is a delightful choice, allowing you to embrace the beauty of nature while celebrating your special day. However, like any event planning, there are pitfalls to avoid. Here are the top mistakes to steer clear of:
Overlooking the Location
The perfect location is more than just a picturesque spot. Check for obstacles like nearby buildings, rocks, or underground utilities. A stable soil base is imperative to support the tent. Read more about specific requirements for the location of your choice in our blog “Choosing The Right Location For A Tent”.
Ignoring Ground Conditions:
A flat ground is your best friend; slopes can be problematic. Large trees or roots can interfere with the installation process.
Forgetting Underground Utilities:
Striking hidden utilities can be perilous, leading to equipment damage, safety risks, and even community-wide service disruptions. Always check with local utility companies or services like Click Before You Dig.
Neglecting Permits & Insurance
Liquor? You'll need a liquor permit from the Manitoba Liquor and Gaming Commission.
Tent size over 900 sq ft? Depending on your area, a temporary structure permit might be necessary.
Check with your home insurance about coverage for the event and consider Party & Liability Insurance for broader protection.

Compromising on Tent Quality
Your tent should be robust, weather-resistant, and aptly sized. At Tentation Rentals, we pride ourselves on our range of high-grade tents perfect for every occasion.
Overlooking Furniture & Layout
Insufficient furniture or a cramped layout can disrupt the event’s flow. Ensure you have enough seating and space. Our Tent Capacity Chart can help with this!
Choosing the Wrong Tent Type
A walled tent is superior for Manitoba weddings due to better protection from elements and maintaining a cozy atmosphere. Book it in advance to avoid disappointment.
Skipping the Site Visit
This is crucial. Tentation's professionals will assess the site, spot challenges, and make recommendations, ensuring a seamless wedding experience. Read more about it in our blog “The Importance Of Site Visit”.
By avoiding these pitfalls you're setting the stage (or in this case, the tent) for a dreamy, hiccup-free wedding amidst Manitoba's natural beauty. Let’s make your special day unforgettable!
