Cost

You may be wondering what will this all cost?

 

90% of our couples book the services listed below.

 

This example has 200 guests, 40'x80' tent, sidewalls, globe lighting, chairs, tables and the luxury restroom trailer.  This would cost $8,825.  The services above are bundled together in what we call our tent wedding packages.

​

If you were to rent the 40'x80 tent with lighting the cost would be $6K.  We have smaller tents for lower guest counts.

Ty's Services

We're the only wedding focused tent rental and services small business in MN & WI.  That means we don't order the base model tents.  They're high peak with wood side poles.  White and sailcloth.  Only the best for weddings!

​

We also offer many other rentals like chairs, tables, linens, dance floors, luxury restroom trailers, dinnerware, staff services, planning services and more. 

​

We're very involved and you will notice our attention to detail, do the work for you mentality, and desire to help you create a complete, and incredibly successful wedding day. 

Ty's Services

Wedding focused means every rental or service we provide has a purpose to make the day better and easier for you.  We don't just drop and go.  It's our job to set up and we even come back on the wedding day serving in many ways.  You can start with a tent rental but many end up booking our premium tent wedding package or elite sailcloth tent wedding package.

The Property

We serve backyards, farms, cabins, and homes.  Things we look at is property access, how flat the tent site is, how close to utilities like power and water, trees, obstacles underground, ceremony location, parking area, other vendor considerations and more. 

Comparing Us

It's hard and taxing on the brain trying to figure it all out.  Here is a heads up!

 

Most companies are not wedding specific like us.  Most don't have as nice of equipment.  Most don't have all the equipment you need so you may have to use multiple vendors.  Most don't come back on the wedding day to serve.  Most don't offer full setup of all equipment.  Most don't have one point of contact through the entire process.  Most if not all don't have the experience like us.

​

Have you ever done pickup orders at a local retailer?  They bring it to your car and put it in the trunk.  We're similar in the feeling of ease and convenience you receive after hiring us to do the work for you. 

Add-ons

Once you get an overall feel for the big items like a tent, the smaller rental & services come into play.  You may need chairs, tables, restroom trailer, generators, dance floor, linens for the tables, someone to coordinate your other vendors, dinnerware.  These are called add-ons. 

​

Please ask questions!  Think of us as your guide!​

What Do I need

For most planning a wedding at home they need a tent that can hold everything.  Dinner, dancing, food line, head table, bar, lounge for example.  Don't worry we help you pick a tent size specific to you.  Then things like chairs, tables, linens come next.  Of course you need a restroom.  After that we call the rest add-ons.  Maybe high tops, sweetheart farm table, vendor coordinator, dinnerware, fans, coffee.  Yes, we also can provide all of these and more!

Service Area

We're located in Stillwater, MN.  If you're from another state we offer consulting services to help you find the best vendors in your area and give you helpful tips!

​

For the rest of you who are locals our normal service area is 1hr from Stillwater.  Please contact us if further away. 

Will It Work

Will my property work is a common question we get.  Most likely yes but first get ready for a bunch of questions from us.  We also come out to the property for a visit when invited.  This is super helpful because we measure and help you visualize the day as it unfolds from start to finish.

Questions

When contacting us we assume you have questions.  We don't expect someone to say I want to book right now.  It's highly encouraged to ask questions so you understand.  If something doesn't make sense be honest and say I need more help understanding this. 

 

If we have a phone conversation, don't feel rushed we're happy to chat as long as you need.

The Process

When someone new contacts us for the first time the conversation may go like this.

 

-Tell me more about the property.

-How many guests are you thinking of inviting.

-What things would you like under the tent so I can see what size tent would be a good fit. 

-Have you considered add-ons?

-What random questions do you have.

-What things are most important to you.

​

They may ask about booking.

-We create an invoice to look at.

-We visit the property to measure and chat with you.

-You approve the invoice.

-You sign the contract.

-Send in the 25% deposit.

​

When does everything come?

-The tent is installed two days before.

-If you have the luxury restroom that comes day of.

-Chairs and tables come with the tent if booked but set up by us.   

Tips

Wind is the most common pesky thing in regards to decor.

Start dinner no later than 5:30 PM.  

You could just have a sweetheart table.

Put "chat with guests" in your timeline. 

Don't spend all day with your photographer.

Plan elements in the day that reflect the both of you and your interests/story.

Guests have a hard time putting their phone down.  Suggest a phone fast. 

The elderly may be concerned how to get around.  Plan for it.

Listen to your DJ/Band before booking.

Skip the gift opening or brunch the day after.  You will be tired.  Instead, host a welcome party a day or two before. 

Your mom and dad are so proud of you!
