Sailcloth Tent Wedding

When planning an outdoor wedding, there can be a few more things on the list to consider than a “traditional” wedding. But with any wedding, the starting point is always your guests! YES, who is it that is hitting your guest list.

Armed with a first draft guest list, we can then work with you to discover how you see your day and with how many guests. These are key to identifying what Sailcloth Tent size will be right for you.

To help kick start your Sailcloth Tent Wedding, we have put together our guide on sizing!

Size Matters

One Pole Sailcloth

The baby of our Sailcloth Tent, the One Pole. This is perfect for an intimate, micro-wedding celebration. Measuring 12m in diameter (16m with the guy ropes). This would be the perfect space for up to 50 guests and you would still have space for the cake and a small dance floor. Here are a few sample floor plans of how your own micro Sailcloth Tent Wedding could work;

Two Pole Sailcloth

This is the perfect space for up to 100 seated guests, depending on what else you would like inside your Sailcloth Tent wedding space.

The Two-Pole Sailcloth Tent measures 12m x 18m (16m x 22m with the guy ropes).

The big contenders for space are of course the dance floor but also the bar. If your numbers are to the upper limit of what is recommended, a good space-saving option is an outside bar. A popular option for many outdoor weddings is a horse box adding a little wow to your outdoor space too. For recommendations for bar service pop over and have a look at our Friends Page.

Three Pole Sailcloth

The Three-Pole Sailcloth Tent is perfect for up to 150 seated guests. Measuring 12m x 24m in diameter (16m x 28m with the guy ropes).

As with any wedding, the bar is a big factor again. Often the appeal is to have a round bar that circles around the centre pole. This works really well and creates a focal point. However, if you are pushing numbers again to the capacity of the Sailcloth, the round bar may have to be compromised to allow the space needed for your dining tables.

We absolutely love our Sailcloth Marquee! We’ve seen it set up in so many different ways and each one has been stunning. This is a fabulous way to have that personalised rustic wedding everyone will remember!
