You can change the size of your structure up to 1 month before the date of your event, subject to availability.

Usually for weddings, there are no more changes possible 1 month before the event or only minor changes. With the current context (COVID), if there are restrictions we try to be as flexible as possible depending on availability to modify the format of the event, if you wish to maintain it (reduction in size, live event ...). In the event of a change in the format of the event, charges may apply to the equipment provided if it is not used.

We offer rental of a structure for a day at a similar rate to that for a week. In fact, the assembly and dismantling of a structure takes one to two days, which makes renting a tent difficult several times a week.

It is in fact more expensive to host your event in a private space than to rent a venue. First of all, setting up and then dismantling a reception tent requires more people than renting a venue. Furthermore, a private space is not necessarily suitable for receiving such a large number of guests. Inviting a hundred people or more requires suitable infrastructure in terms of furniture, sanitary facilities, energy, etc. Thus, it is also necessary to plan for transport costs (truck furniture, fuel toll, drivers, etc.) and a logistical organization (scheduling, head of project, booking of equipment, etc.). Since it is an ephemeral structure, everything must be built and created compared to a place where everything already exists! Find our article Understanding the prices of reception tents.

Yes, all tent models are waterproof. Only shade sails are not always waterproof.

Yes, we can validate this during the technical identification provided that the installation is equivalent for the two locations (stakeout, unevenness of the ground, etc.)

It is up to the organizer to obtain authorization from the Prefecture or Town Hall for installation on the site and opening to the public. At the end of an assembly we can provide you on request in advance: - a certificate of good assembly - involve a safety commission charged to the customer which is an independent company to validate the good assembly and safety of the structures

On average we plan around 1 seat for 4 people (15-25% of total capacity). After all, it all depends on the type of cocktail and the duration.

The surface area to be planned depends on the configuration and type of event: For a seated dinner: 1 m²/person: rectangular banquet table (without dance floor). 1.2 m²/person: round or rectangular table 1 m wide (without dance floor). For a dance floor: 0.3 m²/person. For a ceremony or conference: 0.8 m²/person. For a cocktail or a standing speech: 0.5 m²/person. Depending on the planned layout (podium, music group, video projection, changing room, etc.), it may be necessary to provide additional space. For the implementation of the structure: Add 50 cm to 1 m around for classic tents, yurts or teepees.

The weight of the ballast varies depending on the structure. For small structures between 80 and 300kg per pedestal. For larger structures or stretches between 500Kg - 2t A one-ton pedestal has a dimension of approximately 1m x 1m. There are several types of ballast: - the most common concrete - steel - sand (rarer) - water (in this case it is necessary to provide a water supply on site and have time to fill the blocks)"

You must allow 0.8m2 during a cocktail party with buffets per person (depending on the furniture and layout). There are several possibilities in the event of rain: - Rely on an existing covered space (barn, house, etc.) - Plan to install pagoda tents, or stretch tents - Install parasols but be careful in case of windL The installation of tents can be used both in very good weather (to create shade) and in the rain. We strongly advise against mixing the dinner area and the cocktail plan B: beyond being a shame not to separate the spaces for the event, it is a complicated solution to manage in practice. Also, keep in mind that during the cocktail, finishing touches may take place in the dining area.
