1. Sailcloth tent

The sailcloth tent is a favorite among types of party tents, ideal for couples dreaming of an elegant, naturally styled tent wedding. Its light-transmitting fabric gives the tent a soft, romantic glow as the sun sets. Moreover, it's surprisingly functional: you can opt for clear or closed sidewalls, depending on the weather or the chosen view.

Expert Dennis Desmet from Stretched explains: "Sailcloth tents are lightweight structures ensuring perfect connection with the surroundings. You can have full or transparent sidewalls, providing comfort to fully close the tent in bad weather or open it entirely on a sunny day. Pure enjoyment of the environment! Tip: for a romantic setting and extra touch, the ‘Voiles’ option is highly recommended."

2. Orangerie tent

In addition to traditional party tents, vendors often provide innovative types. The Orangerie tent is the latest jewel in 2VRent's collection. This architectural tent exudes class and refinement, perfect for high-end weddings.

• 2VRent explains: "The Orangerie is an elegant structure with glass sidewalls and a stylish PVC roof; a perfect blend of transparency, light, and sophistication. It exudes class and lets your guests dream away in a stylish, open ambiance. With no inner poles, every detail stands out completely. As with all our tents, customization is possible: think adapted layouts, floor options, or even a specific color for the structure. Available in various sizes and setups, the Orangerie offers unmatched flexibility and a captivating total experience."

  3. Marco tent

  The Marco tent is designed with both design and practical comfort in mind. Developed in collaboration with 2VRent, this tent stands for class, elegance, and quality. "The Marco tent combines a black aluminum frame with glass panels and a stylish PVC roof, which can be entirely transparent or black. This combination of class and sleek lines makes it unique,” it sounds. "You can choose a fully glass execution or, for instance, a black rear wall to beautifully screen technical zones. This tent starts from 15x15m and can be extended to 15x30m. An optional 5m wide terrace completes the outdoor experience."

  

  4. Strohboid tent

  These special tents, offered by among others WDM Events, combine the charm of natural materials with architectural finesse. The curved wooden structure and modular setup provide a stylish, modern silhouette that is both warm and sustainable. The Strohboid is ideal for couples who love design with an ecological twist and want to create an intimate setting with impact.

  

  5. Airspace tent

  A fan of surprising concepts? The Airspace tent from Soirée is an inflatable eye-catcher that is both practical and atmospheric. Thanks to the ‘one-pump system’, the tent is quickly set up, with no need for constant air supply. This compact white tent (5x5m) can be connected 360 degrees with other Airspace tents, making it a flexible concept for smaller receptions or as a playful addition to a larger event.

  6. Frame tent

This model is anything but dull: windows, panels, sails, doors... the possibilities are endless. The frame tent is the perfect choice for couples envisioning a classic white-themed wedding.

  

  7. Stretch tent

  Stretch tents have been gaining popularity in recent years, often dubbed the '4x4' of tents due to their multifunctionality. The design of this type of party tent was inspired by traditional Berber or Bedouin tents. Create various unique setups based on available space and desired arrangement thanks to the stretch tent's flexibility. These models are also adapted to weather conditions like rain and wind.

  "Stretch tents are now available with sidewalls, providing extra comfort and protection against rain or wind. This way, you maintain the open character and flexibility of the original design," adds Dennis from Stretched.

  

  8. Silhouette tent

  Thinking of colorful tents at festival campgrounds? Discover the silhouette tent! This type of party tent is elegant and classy. The light color and texture of this model perfectly fit the image of a romantic wedding.

  

  9. Stavanger tent

  It's delightful spending time in a Stavanger tent, almost like living in it. You'll find Scandinavian efficiency combined with design and elegance. The Stavanger tent is easily modulable in height (from 2.75m) and width (5 options) and is variable in its workings with the mocca tarp. This exclusive party tent can be perfectly personalized with covered terraces.

  10. Ferro tent

  A Ferro tent is a party tent that will win your heart completely. Host your party, reception, or walking dinner in an exclusive space with fully glass and steel walls, where tailored drapery and lighting provide charm and coziness. Five different widths and two heights (2.75m and 3.50m) create diverse areas within the Ferro tent, partly because inward-facing windows allow for various terrace shapes.

  

  11. Dome

  Looking for types of party tents your guests might not have seen before? How about a dome tent? With its round shape, this type of party tent is entirely different from tents you've seen at weddings before. This tent fits perfectly with your festival or boho-themed wedding.

  

  12. Tipi

  The tipi tent is the perfect partner for a boho wedding. Native Americans designed this tent years ago with respect for nature, a quality still inherent in today’s design. Tipi or pyramid tents emphasize the intimate, romantic atmosphere of your wedding and serve as a unique eyecatcher for your outdoor wedding celebration.

  "Tipis, with their beautiful wooden structure, create a distinct ambiance. They offer countless possibilities for hanging decorations, technical necessities, etc.," adds Dennis from Stretched.

  

  13. Hampton Bay tent

  The Hampton Bay tent is an exclusive party tent with a rustic appearance in soft colors. It is a true party palace with a cozy covered terrace and atmospheric lighting. In a Hampton Bay tent, you'll feel like you’re in a distant destination, fully sheltered and secluded; an idyllic place to pamper your guests.

  14. Palladio tent

  The Palladio tent bridges modernity with classic design. High sidewalls let in an abundance of light, while outside, a cozy anthracite color alternates with rows of columns. Zinc doors connect the inside with outdoor spaces, easily creating a trendy mood on the terraces!

  15. Star tent

  A starshade tent, as the name suggests, is star-shaped. It is a type of stretch tent with a high peak and extended sidewalls. The starshade is available in various sizes, though the available space remains rather limited. Thus, this tent is perfect for a lounge, a reception for a small gathering, or an intimate ceremony.

  

  Tent expert Dennis Desmet from Stretched summarizes it well: "Our tents are not merely a ‘covering’; they are the canvas upon which you can unleash your creativity. They serve as the perfect foundation to bring your vision to life. Whether as a wedding planner with a distinct style or a couple wanting to leave their mark on their day: our tents provide the space, freedom, and atmosphere to create something truly special. What continually surprises and gratifies us is seeing how each end result is different. From dreamy and intimate to grand and bold: each time, something unique arises."

  Dennis from Stretched offers one last tip: "Choose the right decoration and lighting for both the tent and its surroundings. Make sure you have good partners for this, or ask us! We are happy to brainstorm with our clients to achieve a beautiful final result."
