Picking the perfect canopy shapes your event’s ambiance, circulation patterns, shade coverage, and bottom line iCelebrate Event Rentals partners with hosts in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and beyond to pair tent dimensions with seating layouts and access needs, consulting on zoning setbacks, egress routes, and ground conditions so your canopy arrives ready to shine.

Key Elements That Determine Tent Size
