Booking a tent is one of the biggest decisions you will make for an outdoor event — and the company you choose matters as much as the tent itself. The right tent rental partner protects your timeline, your budget, and your guests' comfort. Before you sign anything, a few pointed questions will tell you whether a company is the real deal. Here are the five we would ask if we were in your shoes.
1. What do past customers say?
Start with reputation. Read online reviews, ask for references from events like yours, and look for patterns rather than one-off comments. Pay attention to how the company communicates, whether quotes match final invoices, and what condition the equipment arrives in. A company with hundreds of consistent five-star reviews — like the team you can read about on our about page — has earned that trust the hard way, one event at a time.
2. How many years have you been in business?
Experience is the difference between a smooth install and a stressful one. A company that has operated for years has set up in every venue type, weather condition, and last-minute scenario imaginable — and has learned from each one. Knights Tent & Party Rental has been family owned and operating across Southeast Michigan since 2010.
3. How do you maintain tent quality and cleanliness?
A tent with tears, stains, or mildew can quietly undermine an otherwise beautiful event. Ask how often tents are cleaned and inspected, and request recent photos or an in-person look before your date. Quality tents should be spotless, structurally sound, and anchored safely. Browse our tent rental options to see the styles we keep in premium condition.
4. What tent types and sizes do you offer?
There is no one-size-fits-all tent. A backyard graduation party, a 300-guest wedding, and a multi-day corporate festival each call for a different structure — and the right size for your guest count. We carry sailcloth tents, clear-top frame tents, large frame tents, pole tents, and engineered structure tents for events of every scale.
5. Do you handle delivery, setup, teardown, and other rentals?
The best value comes from one partner who does it all. Confirm that delivery, professional installation, and teardown are included, and ask whether they also rent tables and chairs, linens, lighting, flooring, and climate control. Sourcing everything from one company saves money and removes the headache of coordinating multiple vendors.
