Wedding tents: Why they are so popular

Wedding tents are very popular, especially for summer weddings. For outdoor celebrations, tents create a romantic and flexible atmosphere—regardless of the weather!

Advantages of a Tent Wedding

A tent allows you, as the wedding couple, to create the atmosphere of your wedding celebration exactly as you envision it. From lighting to decorations to seating, tents can be customized—but you’ll need a cohesive wedding and decor concept to create the right atmosphere in a tent.

A tent means your wedding won't be affected by the weather

The weather can be unpredictable at an outdoor wedding reception. Wedding tents not only offer protection from rain but are also invaluable on extremely hot days, as they provide shade and—depending on the tent’s flexibility—allow for a breeze to pass through, which can be especially pleasant on summer days when a gentle breeze offers refreshment. And most importantly: As the bride and groom, you can rest assured that your wedding celebration won’t be rained out—no matter what the weather forecast says.

A tent wedding offers flexibility in choosing a venue

With tents, weddings can be held almost anywhere—whether in a park, on the beach, on private property, or in a garden. This flexibility allows you, as the bride and groom, to choose a unique and truly personal wedding venue for your celebration.

How much does a wedding tent cost?

The cost of a tent wedding varies greatly from case to case. For a small garden wedding with about 30 guests, you can rent a simple party tent for 200 euros. A party tent measuring about 10 by 15 meters costs approximately 1,500 euros (including tax). Setup and takedown are usually included, but it’s important to clarify in advance whether flooring or carpeting is included in the price.

Tip: Wedding with a teepee

Silhouette or teepee tents are especially charming for weddings. They have the advantage that—unlike regular party tents—they don’t require any special covering for the poles or unsightly structural elements. That’s because these tents also feature mostly high-quality wooden poles on the inside. The canvas is also usually translucent and often comes in a soft beige shade—making it perfect for a garden wedding! The downside: These tents are slightly more expensive than standard party tents.

By the way, a small teepee tent also looks great at a wedding—maybe not for the party itself, but, for example, as a quiet spot for kids or as a backdrop for romantic wedding photos.
