Renting with us.

Tent Rental Process

Learn about the tent rental process before sending an inquiry.

Thank you for checking out Southern NH Event Rental! We are a small, family-run business whose goal is to provide beautiful tent and party rentals to the Southern NH area. We realize not everyone has experience planning events that require tents, so here is some helpful information to get your started.

Pick a date for your event. Most parties are on Saturday or Sunday. We typically set up on Thursday or Friday and take down on Monday or Tuesday. The tent / tent package is yours for the weekend, so think about how to best get your money’s worth (host a brunch the next morning, or have friends over for evening drinks and cookout the night before your event).

How many guests are you expecting? You don’t have to get this exactly right. We understand that you might not have a firm headcount yet, but plan on having everyone protected under the tent in case of rain. We can always bring a few extra chairs and an extra table if things change!

Where are we setting up the tent? We need a completely unobstructed space to set up tents. For example, we cant set up the tent over your patio furniture.

Any underground hazards to consider? We use a sledgehammer to pound stakes into the ground roughly 3’ deep. We need to know if there are sprinkler lines, electrical lines running to your shed, pool, septic tanks, or anything else we cant see.

Unsure if the tent will fit? Send pics! Snap a few photos of the area to share with us!

Still unsure or nervous? Call Dig Safe! (#811) It’s free!


Not all tent companies are the same. Most tent businesses target large weddings and corporate events. Not us! We focus exclusively on small, simple,
”backyard,” parties. We try to keep things simple by including the pricing on our site and offering tent rental packages for your convenience.

Southern NH Event Rentals is the perfect fit for your graduation party, baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party, etc.
