North Bank help

My wedding is in April at North Bank Park and we need to have a tent and I wondered if anyone who has had their wedding there could recommend a tent company that they have worked with. 
I also have a question about parking.  We want to prepay at the garage across the street so that our guests won't have to worry about paying to park. Has anybody done this or know how to go about doing this??

    Hello!  I am May NBP bride!  It is right around the corner.
    Regarding the tent, I am meeting with a planner next week and will have a recommend (I have heard of folks using ACC Rentals...so they may be an option).  i will let you know what I learn.
    Regarding parking, another helpful Knottie had directed me to ClickandPark.com.  I worked with them to secure 25 spots at the lot right across the street (paved lot on the corner of Neil & Spring)...for 5 bucks.  They will send passes to provide guests.  I just sent an e-mail on Monday, and they got back to me same day...just finalizing the contract.
    Curios...are doing any additional lighting (hanging laterns for example)?

    I am getting married at NBP in August - we booked a hexagon tent through Personal Touch Party Rental, that should seat around 80-90 people under it, maybe more.  I called ACC, S&G, Lasting Impressions, O'Neil, and Main Event for quotes, but Personal Touch was one of the lower quotes and just so nice to work with, where some of the others were impossible to get in touch with.   
      

    I've got the same info on parking, although I've heard some people use the garage to park as well.   If you just go to the booth, they'll give you the manager's phone number, I wrote it down awhile ago, but no clue where it is now, sorry!

    In tems of lighting, we are going to string paper lanterns inside, and possibly also lights up along the steel beams on the sides.   In August it doesn't get dark until pretty late, but I've seen pictures where it just looks pitch black in there at night when people are dancing, so I definitely wanted some lights for after the sun went down.  Plus they just look super cool!

    Thanks cml214!  We have been thinking about the laterns...but haven't started looking into it (does one rent or buy?).  But I agree, I think they are cool...a good match for an already awesome venue.  Feel free to drive by, stop and peak on May 21st!  I think it helps to see other events in that space. Don't mind a fellow Knottie getting some ideas.

    Thanks for the tent vendor recommendation...I will give them a call.

    We could have a whole separate board for NBP knotties!
