The evolution of a wedding tent

Strike the tent, there’s nothing to it….. wrong!!

I just marvel over the production that goes into striking a tent for an event! Living here on the beautiful Mendocino coast we often (almost every weekend!) are setting up a tent to allow our clients to explore the great wide open, or lean directly atop the ocean bluff to host their wedding celebrations. The crew that assembles the tent has such finesse, they often make it look like they are constructing a pixie stick house for a child to play, however when I get the wild hair to suggest to “not use so many tie downs” they all look at me with crazy eyes and say all at once “no way – you cannot remove that tie down, it is the main thing holding the entire tent up,” so I have to giggle and thank the stars that they know what they are doing and well!

These tents are like an event hall equipped with heaters, flooring, and whatever you desire your look to be, can be created in this space. I look at a tent as a painter’s blank canvas allowing you to paint whatever picture you see for your day’s events. From a oval canvas top tent, to a round style circus tent, or even the coolest of all with a clear top tent (but be careful and make sure you have a tree coverage or this tent is hot, hot, hot inside) can all be used to allow the elements that surround your event to be brought inside with coverage from the weather if it is cool,windy, rainy or hot.

Mendocino weddings can take care of all of your rental needs….
