Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum capacity for the Dana Pearl tent?

Answer: 200 people

Depending on how many guests you have, whether you are dining, and if you want a dance floor and other seating and chillout areas, will determine what size of tent you will require.

This table provides a good reference to work out what kind of space you will need. If you are having an even bigger party than our maximum capacity, we suggest putting more tents together!

What spacing requirements should I consider?

Answer: The minimum space you will need is 16m x 25m for the Dana Pearl

This area takes into account the tent itself as well as the guide ropes, which need 2 metres around every side to ensure it is set up safely. Use the chart above to work out exactly how much space you will need.

Being frame structures our tents can be erected on hard standings such as tennis courts, concrete car parks and gravel drives and this requires eye bolts to be drilled into the floor. Because of their construction, they require the area where they are being erected to be level. Scaffolding can be put in place to level areas that have too much of a slope to them. However, if the ground is slightly uneven then a hard-flooring upgrade can be used to level out the floor within the tent.

How long does it take to set up?

Answer: The Dana Pearl takes 1-3 days to set up

Our tents vary in size, some of our smaller tents can be set up in a few hours, whilst our largest tents can take several days. The build would ideally begin on Monday or Tuesday to ensure everything is ready for a Saturday event.

To give you an idea of the build and what to expect at your party, here's a time-lapse of one of previous events.

Are the tents waterproof?

Answer: Yes, they are waterproof

The exteriors are made from high quality cotton canvas which is regularly waterproofed throughout the season. It is important when positioned on windy sites to put in additional supporting poles inside the tent to support the pyramid ceiling, to ensure they can endure winds of up to 30 mph.

Will the tents be warm enough?

Answer: Yes, they are easily heated

Our tents can be easily heated on cool days as their vented elevated ceilings and canvas exteriors are geared towards providing shade on a hot day rather than warmth on a cool one.

When would you take them down?

Answer: The following day

We would come and take them down the following day (usually a Sunday).

Do you need a power supply?

Answer: Yes

We will always require power. Most lighting can run from a 13-amp domestic supply or a generator. Our cabling is weatherproof.

How much will it cost?

Answer: Varies (See examples)

Every single party and event is unique, however, we have given a few examples below to give you an idea of how much it might cost.

Luxury white canvas marquees

There is an air of royalty to these iconic tents; with their luxurious vaulted ceilings.

The Dana Pearl is a double-peaked Moghul marquee measuring 12m x 21m.

This space can be extended in the width to 12m x 24m with a Picco extension at the side of the structure and can also be added to each side to create an impressive 18m x 24m structure, or the 6m x 4m extensions extending in line with the lantern ceiling creates ‘rooms’ which are completely connected to the main space and provide recessed space ideal for bar areas, lounge areas and band spaces. This luxury white canvas tent has a stylish extended 'verandah' around the exterior, creating the feeling of a floating canopy over your event. It is perfect to create an ‘inside-outside’ feel and is ideal for enjoying the view.

The standing capacity of this tent is around 300 people and the main structure can seat 200 people purely as a dining tent or around the same amount with added extensions with extra space for dance floor, bar area and lounge seating. A full height curtain reveal can also be added to partition off the dining and dance areas creating the option for a ‘big reveal’ in the evening after guests have dined.

And the pyramid ceiling gives the ability to hang floral installations, pom poms, lanterns and other marquee decoration in the ceiling with plenty of fixing points for florists and production companies.

Build-time required for this structure is 3 days and when calculating the space it requires, an additional 4m of external room needs to be accounted for on the perimeter to take into consideration the canvas verandah, guide ropes and stake line. The Dana Pearl is a Queen of Tents!
