Planning a Wedding in Vermont? Here’s Your Complete Tent Rental Checklist

By Big Bears Tent Rentals – A Trusted Vermont Wedding Company

Planning a Vermont wedding means embracing natural beauty, rustic venues, and the potential for unpredictable weather. That’s why a quality tent rental isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential.

As a leading Vermont tent rental company, we’ve created a checklist to make your planning process smoother and ensure your big day is covered—literally.

Whether you're getting married in the Northeast Kingdom, by a lake, or at a scenic farm venue, this guide will help you cover all your bases.

✅ Tent Rental Checklist for Your Vermont Wedding:

1. Choose the Right Tent Style

Not all tents are created equal. Your choice depends on venue space, guest count, and style.

• Pole Tents – Classic peaks, ideal for grass or open fields

• Frame Tents – Great for tight or hard-to-stake locations

• Sailcloth Tents – Elegant and perfect for upscale or rustic Vermont weddings

Tip: As one of the top VT tent companies, we’ll help you select the best fit for your venue.

2. Know Your Guest Count

You’ll need a tent that fits:

• Tables and chairs

• Buffet and/or bar

• Dance floor

• Walkways, stage, or extra space for vendors

Our team can help you estimate the right size—don’t guess!

3. Don’t Forget the Extras

We’re more than just a Vermont tent company. We also offer:

• Tables & chairs

• Dance floors

• Bars

• Lighting

• Heaters or sidewalls (for chillier Vermont evenings)

One call, and your entire event rental in Vermont is covered.

4. Think About Lighting & Décor

String lights, chandeliers, uplighting—we offer options that add mood and magic to your setup.

As a trusted Vermont wedding company, we also offer guidance on layout, décor placement, and vendor coordination.

5. Ask About Setup & Permits

Some venues or towns require permits. Big Bears handles delivery, setup, and takedown—plus we’ll guide you through local regulations so there are no surprises.

That’s why so many couples call us the best wedding company in Vermont.
