Frequently Asked Questions
What size tent do I need for my Ellington event?
For seated dinners, plan about 10 sq ft per guest; for standing cocktail events, about 5 sq ft per guest. A 20x20 tent seats up to 40 or holds 80 standing; a 20x40 seats 80 or holds 160 standing. Whether you're hosting an Ellington High grad party, a farm wedding off Pinney Street, or a Crystal Lake summer gathering, call (860) 265-4869 and we'll help you size it right.
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 Ellington.
How much does a tent rental cost in Ellington 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 big farm weddings or community events 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, SIOTO Safety Certified, and fully licensed to operate 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. Ellington High School, Ellington Congregational Church, Knesseth Israel Synagogue, local farms, 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 Ellington?
We serve all of Ellington — Ellington Center and the Historic District, Crystal Lake, Five Corners, Windermere, Broad Brook area, Pinney Hill, and out along the Panhandle toward Willimantic River. From Shenipsit State Forest events to backyard parties off Main Street, we've got you covered.
Do I need a permit for my tent in Ellington?
Ellington's Fire Marshal and Building Department have specific rules for tents depending on size and occupancy. Contact the Building Department at 860-870-3124 or check the Fire Marshal's tent permit page before your event. We can provide 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 Ellington?
Peak season (May–August) — especially Ellington High graduation weekends and the Ellington Volunteer Fire Department Carnival weekend in September — 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.
