20×30 Marquee High Peak Tent Rental

A 20×30 High Peak Tent provides 600 square feet of covered space. It comfortably seats 48 guests at six 60-inch round tables with 8 guests per table. Depending on the table arrangement, seated capacity can reach up to 60 guests, although layouts near that number will feel tighter. A maximum-capacity rectangular banquet layout can accommodate up to 64 guests, a cocktail-style event can accommodate up to 75 guests, and theater-style rows with no tables can accommodate up to 100. Buffets, bars, dance floors, DJ areas and lounge furniture will reduce these capacities.

Our 20×30 High Peak Tent starts at $675, which includes professional delivery, setup, and takedown within our standard service area.

Additional items such as tables, chairs, lighting, sidewalls, heaters, fans, or flooring are rented separately so you only pay for the equipment your event actually needs. Final pricing depends on your event location, delivery requirements, and selected accessories.

Your rental includes:

• Professional delivery

• Complete installation

• Secure anchoring

• Tent inspection before we leave

• Scheduled takedown after your event

Tables, chairs, linens, lighting, sidewalls, fans, heaters, and other accessories can all be added during booking.

A typical 20×30 High Peak Tent takes approximately 1.5 to 3 hours to install, depending on site conditions.

Most installations are completed by a trained crew of three to four installers. We handle the entire setup and takedown process, so you don't need any tools or assistance.

If your event requires additional rentals such as tables, chairs, lighting, or sidewalls, setup may take a little longer.

Our 20×30 High Peak Tent is a frame tent, making it much more versatile than traditional pole tents.

It can be installed on:

• Grass

• Asphalt

• Concrete

• Patios

• Driveways

• Decking

Grass installations are secured using stakes, while hard surfaces use weighted anchors or water barrels. Simply let us know your surface during booking so we arrive with the correct equipment.

In many parts of the Baltimore area, yes.

Because a 20×30 tent covers 600 square feet, it often falls within local temporary tent permitting requirements. Permit rules vary by city, county, property type, and event.

Requirements vary by county and property type, so we recommend checking with your local permitting office — Baltimore County residents can find the application directly through Baltimore County's Temporary Tent Permit page.

Our 20×30 tent is a High Peak Frame Tent, which offers several advantages over a traditional pole tent.

Unlike pole tents, frame tents:

• Have no center poles, giving you a completely open interior

• Allow more flexible table layouts

• Can be installed on both grass and hard surfaces

• Create a cleaner, more elegant appearance

• Offer better sightlines for guests

For most private events, frame tents provide greater flexibility and a more premium look.

Yes.

Our commercial-grade tents are waterproof and engineered for normal outdoor weather when professionally installed and properly anchored.

However, no temporary structure should remain occupied during severe weather such as:

• High winds

• Thunderstorms

• Lightning

• Tornado warnings

If severe weather is forecast, we'll work with you to discuss the safest options before your event. For full details on our weather policy, see our Rental Terms page.

These items are available as optional add-ons.

Popular upgrades include:

• Cathedral sidewalls

• Solid sidewalls

• Bistro lighting

• Tent fans

• Event heaters

Many customers customize their tent based on the season, weather forecast, and the style of their event.

We recommend reserving your date as early as possible, especially during spring, summer, and fall when weekends often sell out.

Many customers book one to three months in advance, while larger events may reserve even earlier.

A 30% deposit secures your reservation.

To help us install your tent safely and efficiently, please:

• Clear the installation area

• Remove vehicles, furniture, toys, and debris

• Tell us about sprinkler systems, septic tanks, underground utilities, or invisible pet fences

• Let us know if there are low tree branches or overhead power lines

If staking isn't possible, we'll use weighted anchoring whenever appropriate

Our 20×30 High Peak Tent features:

• 8-foot side height (eaves)

• 16 feet 9 inches at the center peak

The extra height creates an open, spacious feel while providing plenty of room for lighting, draping, floral installations, or other event décor

Yes.

Our tents use commercial-grade 16-ounce PVC-coated polyester vinyl, which is:

• Waterproof

• Flame-retardant

• UV-resistant

• Mildew-resistant

The tent is supported by a commercial-grade aluminum frame designed for repeated professional use.

Absolutely.

You can decorate the tent with lighting, draping, greenery, balloons, or other event décor.

If you're planning to hang heavier decorations, please let us know in advance so we can recommend safe attachment points and ensure the installation supports your design

Yes.

Harbor City Event Rentals carries liability insurance and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) upon request if your venue, homeowners association, or municipality requires proof of coverage.

Yes.

We ask that an adult be present during delivery so we can confirm the tent placement before installation begins.

We also request someone be available during pickup to ensure all rental equipment has been collected and to answer any final questions.

Our cancellation, rescheduling, deposit, and weather policies are outlined in our Rental Terms.

We encourage every customer to review those policies before booking so they understand timelines, payment requirements, and available options if plans change.

In many cases, yes.

A 20×30 tent requires at least a 20×30-foot level installation area, but you'll also need additional clearance around the perimeter for anchoring and safe installation. Trees, fences, utility lines, landscaping, and overhead branches can affect placement. If you're unsure whether your yard is large enough, send us a few photos or the approximate measurements, and we'll help determine whether a 20×30 tent is the right fit

Yes, but it will reduce the number of seated guests.

Many customers choose to include a dance floor, DJ area, buffet, bar, or lounge space inside the tent. We'll help you design a layout that balances seating with the features that matter most for your event, ensuring guests remain comfortable without the space feeling cramped.

Yes.

We proudly deliver, install, and remove tents throughout Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and many surrounding communities. If you're unsure whether your event location falls within our service area, simply contact us with your address, and we'll be happy to confirm availability.
