We say what we do
and do what we say

We now carry 30′ wide tents

That’s right, we have recently acquired 30′ WIDE tents, capable of extending to 60′. That allows for tables and seating for 180 people! We are very excited to be able to offer our customers in Boston and its environs this option for their outdoor spring parties.

Size Recommendations for Dance Floors

With the advent of spring (finally!), we are receiving more questions about dance floors. In service to our customers and potential customers, we are posting some of our dance floor expertise below.

For your party or event, the average group can be cut in half to determine the number of couples attending, and only half of the couples are going to be dancing at any one time. Each couple needs-at minimum- 3 square feet for dancing. Don’t worry, you don’t have to do the funky math all by yourself. We’re posting it as a table. We’re just letting you know how we got our numbers:

People          Couples          Couples Dancing          Size Dance Floor

48                       24                                 12                                        9′ x 12′

100                    50                                 25                                      15′ x 15′

400                 200                              100                                      30′ x 30′

576                 288                               144                                       36′ x 36′

*please note, these numbers are for the average party goers.  Younger people tend to dance more, older people tend to dance less.
