Chairs
Several different styles of chairs are available. The Chivari/Ballroom chair is one option for more formal events. It comes in white and fruitwood with a 2” foam seat in both dining and cocktail height. The most popular wedding chair is the Garden chair available in white, natural or fruitwood with a ½” pad. Samsonite chairs are generally used for informal backyard parties, meetings, graduations, etc. Chair covers/sashes are also available for all styles of chairs.
flooring
A dance floor is the most common flooring used under tents. It consists of 3’x4’ wood grain parquet panels which are secured together and finished with a metal edging around the perimeter. To calculate the size of a dance floor for a function it is generally estimated that ½ of the guests will dance at any one time. Each person dancing requires ~4 square feet. Use the chart below as a guideline.
Dance Floor Sizes
| Guests | Sq. Feet | Size |
| 50 | 120 | 12' x 12' |
| 100 | 240 | 15' x 16' |

| 200 | 480 | 18' x 28' |
| 250 | 600 | 18' x 32' |
lighting
Lighting is recommended for all evening events or in areas that require additional illumination. Four types of lighting are offered – streamer, onion lamps, bistro/café and track lighting.
- Streamer lights are placed along the inside perimeter of the tent and provide a subdued, festive lighting.
- Onion lamps (Tidewater tents only) are mounted on the tent center poles.
- Bistro/Café lighting can be installed in all tents and hang from the top of the tent to the tent sides.
- Track lighting is used when specific areas need additional illumination such as in trade shows or in a caterer’s tent.
linens
Linens add the finishing touch to any event. The longer the linen, the more formal the look. Toppers, napkins, skirting and chair covers/sashes are also available. All linens are available in white and various colors. Standard table height is 30″.
