If you want to have an outdoor wedding ceremony without worrying about the weather, consider hiring a stretch tent. With all sides up the views can be enjoyed all around and it’s organic, beautiful shape also works well alongside a wedding pagoda.
The tent can also be used for other purposes especially when you are staying at a venue for the entire weekend. Our wedding ceremony tent has been used for things like pre-wedding yoga, evening cocktails, cream tea parties but mainly for a place for guests to hang out outside pre-reception in case of rainfall.
These photos will show you some of the layouts used in our tents with 3 different sizes for wedding ceremonies to help you get a good idea of how many people can be seated and how it could look.
10 x 15m stretch tent.
This layout on these 10 x 15m stretch tents shows the aisle going down the 10m length with the seating across the 15m length. There are 12 in each row (6 each side of the aisle) and 10 rows. It is possible to fit in 16 per row with up to 12 rows (that’s 192 people) if you needed to fit in more.
This layout below shows the aisle going down the 15m length with the seating across the 10m length. This creates a longer aisle but the central path has to go alongside the centre poles. Worked perfectly with this ceremony but it’s good to keep this in mind when pre-planning the seating arrangement. They had 4 on one side and 6 on the other, 10 rows in all, with plenty room to add on a few more rows if needed.
8 x 10m stretch tent
Here are few ceremonies with our 8 x 10m stretch tent which can seat 80 – 100 people.

When you’re choosing sizes of a tent for your wedding ceremony, remember that with wind and rain it’s best to have a tent large enough to have extra coverage so people on the edges don’t get wet.
If you’re worried that you won’t fit everyone, there’s always the option (if your ceremony isn’t going to be too long) that if there are more guests than can fit in the tent, you could have the option to have half the tent with chairs and let the rest of the people stand behind.
