7 New York City rental companies carry equipment commonly used for corporate events. Company picnics, conferences, and product launches need dependable tents, seating, staging, and AV — often at a scale a home event never reaches.
General guidance for planning a rental like this — from the Localis editorial team, not specific to any one company.
As a rough guide, allow about 8 sq ft per guest for rows of seating, 10–12 for banquet tables, and more once you add a dance floor, bar, or buffet. Share your headcount and plan so the vendor can size it correctly.
Tents are staked into grass or weighted on hard surfaces. Larger frame and pole tents may require permits or utility line marking, so confirm the install method for your specific site.
Big tents often go up the day before an event. Ask about the delivery and takedown window so it lines up with your venue access and other vendors.
Order to your confirmed guest count plus a small buffer for walk-ins and gift or food tables. A common mix is 8 guests per 60-inch round or per 8-ft banquet table.
Some rentals include drop-off and pickup; others are customer-pickup only. Clarify whether stacking, placement, and return staging are included so there are no surprises on event day.
Staging and dance floors install best on level, stable surfaces. Flag any slope or soft ground so the vendor can plan leveling and keep the setup safe.
