What's the difference between Standard A-Frame Tents and Elite High Peak Tents?

Standard A-Frame Tents have a classic pitched roof — they're our budget-friendly workhorse, perfect for backyard grad parties, birthdays, and casual celebrations. Elite High Peak Tents feature a dramatic, elegant peaked silhouette that photographs beautifully — they're our go-to for weddings, anniversaries, and formal events in Simsbury.

How much does a tent rental cost in Simsbury CT?

Standard A-Frame Tents start at $379 (20x20) and go up to $1,499 (20x83). Elite High Peak Tents run $499–$1,999. Large Event Tents for Hartford Golf Club weddings, Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center events, Flamig Farm gatherings, or milestone celebrations start at $1,299 for the Hexagon and are quoted for the Century. Final quotes depend on location and setup — call (860) 265-4869 for a custom number.

Is Party Patrol Rentals licensed and insured?

Yes — and we take it seriously. We're MA OPSI Certified (State License #MA-491), NAARSO Affiliated, OABA Members, and SIOTO Safety Certified. We're fully licensed in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. We carry $3 million in liability insurance — three times the industry standard — and our delivery crew is CORI background-checked. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) on request.

Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for schools, churches, or venues?

Absolutely. Simsbury High School, Westminster School, The Ethel Walker School, The Master's School, Hartford Golf Club, Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center, Flamig Farm, and most venues require a COI before we set up. Let us know who needs to be named additionally insured and we'll have the paperwork ready before delivery day.

Do you set up tents throughout Simsbury?

We serve all of Simsbury — the Hopmeadow Street corridor, Simsbury Center, Weatogue, Tariffville, West Simsbury, East Weatogue, the Talcott Mountain foothills, and the Farmington River valley. From the Pinchot Sycamore (largest tree in CT) to Heublein Tower, from historic Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge to the Farmington Valley Greenway, we know every corner of this classic Connecticut town.

Do I need a permit for my tent in Simsbury?

Yes, for larger tents. Simsbury's Building Department explicitly notes that tents may require a building permit depending on square footage, capacity, enclosure, and whether heat or electrical is involved — that covers most wedding-size tents (20x30 and up) and all of our Elite, Hex, and Century tents. Simsbury uses the Municity online permit center. Check with the Simsbury Building Department at 933 Hopmeadow Street or call 860-658-3243 before your event. We can provide fire-rating documentation for our tents to support your application — just ask.

Can you set up tents on grass, driveways, or patios?

Yes to all three. On grass we stake the tent into the ground. On driveways, patios, or any hard surface we use water barrels or concrete weights to anchor. Just let us know your surface when booking so we bring the right equipment.

How far in advance should I book a tent rental in Simsbury?

Peak season (May–August) — especially Simsbury High graduation weekend, Westminster and Ethel Walker commencement, Talcott Mountain Music Festival weekends at Simsbury Meadows, and prime summer wedding dates at Hartford Golf Club and Farmington Valley venues — books 4–6 weeks in advance. For off-peak dates, 2–3 weeks is usually fine. A small deposit holds your date; the balance is due day of delivery.

What happens if it rains on my event day?

That's exactly what the tent is for — your event is covered, rain or shine. Our tents are built to handle New England weather and our crews install them to code with proper anchoring. In the rare case of severe weather (high winds, lightning), we'll work with you directly. Give us a call at (860) 265-4869 if you have concerns about conditions.
