Tented Events

It’s safe to say that we’ve worked with more tents, in more complicated places than anyone else in the industry. Seamlessly combining logistics, military-like scheduling, respect for your property and glorious design, we love a good challenge. Bring it on!

Everything -and we mean everything- you see in this photo was shipped in for this wedding, with the exception of the tables and gold chairs! Hard wall panels, chandeliers, crystal, cutlery, linens, silver compotes and chargers first travelled by truck to Miami and then got on a slowww boat to this island. It all arrived and cleared customs with about 10 minutes to spare. No one ever said working in foreign countries is boring...

That wisteria ceiling was over 60' long and was filled to the rim with 3 different shades of faux blooms. And even then, the florist was up in there, spray painting some of them to get the shade of purple just right... Sometimes people are surprised

That wisteria ceiling was over 60' long and was filled to the rim with 3 different shades of faux blooms. And even then, the florist was up in there, spray painting some of them to get the shade of purple just right... Sometimes people are surprised to hear this wasn't real, but when you explain the physics of trying to keep thousands of flowers in water, supported by a few beams in a tent, they start to understand...

With the exception of the doors, the whole blue wall was actually painted canvas; what looks like wood molding is trompe l'oeil, created by some very talented scenic painters. The wall separated the ceremony from the dinner reception and, after the

With the exception of the doors, the whole blue wall was actually painted canvas; what looks like wood molding is trompe l'oeil, created by some very talented scenic painters. The wall separated the ceremony from the dinner reception and, after the meal, guests returned to a fully transformed space and a rager of a dance party

Our ceiling was a giant, lead-paned 'window,' meant to remind the dad of his childhood in England. It even had diffused lights up there that softly illuminated the tent as night came on. Trellises simultaneously helped bring the garden in and hide the tent legs...

The addition of vintage chandeliers that the florist sourced completely elevated this setting. Hilariously, when we first saw them, they had the most gorgeous amber crystals dangling from them; but once they were cleaned for the wedding, they were completely clear! It turned out the amber hue was simply due to cigarette smoke exposure over the years... Vintage indeed!

This was one for the books -- we incorporated real apple trees from the orchard the tent was sitting in. Unfortunately, once the roof panels went on, the trees thought it was autumn and started dropping their leaves. Agh! Special grow-lights were brought in to save the day; not only did the trees survive, we are happy to report they have gone on to produce many apples since

Perhaps our greatest collective achievement: 5000 square feet, fully floating on Lake Joseph in Muskoka. Even the bathroom trailer next to it was floating on a barge! Due to the cost and the staggering time it took to build this, it hasn't been attem

Perhaps our greatest collective achievement: 5000 square feet, fully floating on Lake Joseph in Muskoka. Even the bathroom trailer next to it was floating on a barge! Due to the cost and the staggering time it took to build this, it hasn't been attempted again... yet...

Our bride asked to be transported back to summers on Nantucket for her wedding day. This tent, perched on the bluffs overlooking Lake Ontario exceeded all her wildest dreams. We heard guests saying it felt like the Amalfi Coast... or California... or the South of France... not one person said Canada! One lovely tid bit: all the wood laminate flooring was donated to Habitat for Humanity afterwards

Because every afterparty tent needs a fully-operational fire pit, right? Later that evening, kids roasted marshmallows and ladies warmed their hands & toes on a chilly September evening. The other side of the tent had special exhaust fans for our cigar lounge!

One of the cooler parties we were ever a part of: 90 custom sails were rigged into the ceiling as a nod to the groom's love of the sport. The bride was an architect and, while the sails might look random in this photo, they were designed to run off into each other and into the gardens in the event of rain. Happily, it didn't happen so we never got to see if the theory worked!

This was the party we made the curved tables we've since become known for. It was also the first time we used patterned fabric up in the ceiling. The custom, oval dance floor completed the look and was a very busy area once the 6-course tasting menu

This was the party we made the curved tables we've since become known for. It was also the first time we used patterned fabric up in the ceiling. The custom, oval dance floor completed the look and was a very busy area once the 6-course tasting menu was done...

An oldie but a goodie: this was dinner for 300, in a field by a river with no running water or power. We made it feel warm, welcoming and somehow intimate, in spite of the big guest count. We knew our efforts were successful when we overheard many gu

An oldie but a goodie: this was dinner for 300, in a field by a river with no running water or power. We made it feel warm, welcoming and somehow intimate, in spite of the big guest count. We knew our efforts were successful when we overheard many guests saying that they immediately understood why this place was so special to the hosts

We hope you can imagine how magical this looked as the sun set and the candles started to glow above the guests. Special beams were in the ceiling to support the weight -- not just for the lanterns -- but because there were real wax candles up there

We hope you can imagine how magical this looked as the sun set and the candles started to glow above the guests. Special beams were in the ceiling to support the weight -- not just for the lanterns -- but because there were real wax candles up there and real candles are very heavy!

This was a make over of an existing, boring white tent at a venue. We gussied it up by adding the black wall detail, hung gutsier chandeliers, rolled out some gold glitter carpet and threw in a baby grand with a hot pianist. Way more glam!

This feels like an appropriate last photo -- these were the epic fireworks next to our floating tent. There was a fire ban in the area at the time and we only got permission to set these off about 6 hours earlier in the day... just enough time to load them on to a barge of their own and get it into position
