Hey everyone. My wedding is on fh's families farm. We are having a tent reception there, i was quoted at $1,000 for the tent. $1.00 per chair and $7.00 regardless of size of table. They only charge a $50 dollar fee for set up, tear down, and delivery. Downside: chairs are ugly..they offer plastic lawn chairs or fold up white chairs. Anyway, if you are having a tent wedding can you tell me what you have been quoted at. and if you have ugly chairs what do you plan to do about it lol.
Re: Tent Reception.
We didn't have a tent reception, but we did have ugly black chairs at our reception. I couldn't do anything about them, so I dressed them up by buying bright organza chair sashes to tie around them. Worked like a charm! As far as price quotes, it will definitely vary on here since this is an international board since some cities are pricier than others. Perhaps you could ask your local board to see if they have any other vendor ideas for tents?

The cost of tents can vary. If you are getting one with sides, and it's 40x60, that seems to be a reasonable price. We are going smaller, and they are running around $400 each without the sides.
In WI, where I think most things are a bit cheaper, here is what I am paying:
$0.85 for yes ugly black chairs
$8/ea for banquet tables and a few round tables
My tent breaks down like this:
40x60 $875
2 triangle parts $350
40x40 Hexagon $455
12 Window walls $360
Grand total to fit 296 ppl $2040
so granted I made mine look more than just a rectangle and dearly for it, but your quote sounds right on!
After all was said and done for 300ppl, my rental was $3500.
The tent I am going with is 30x60 for $ 900 and the chairs are white garden for $ 2.00 a piece. I personally like the idea of getting the most you can from one vender because I feel that it will make the day easier. I would suggest asking the tent person if they offer other chair types.
