Couples today choose to host their wedding in a contemporary and elegant manner, even on a small budget. Minimalism is a rising trend, and most couples prefer outdoor locations amidst natural settings for their venue.

Wedding tents are a versatile and essential element needed for hosting an outdoor celebration such as a bridal shower, engagement party, or a bachelor/bachelorette party.

Depending on the tent and its specifications, they can be used to shelter your guests from some harsh weather elements.

Here are our favorite tents for weddings.

Outsunny Large Octagon 8-Wall Wedding Tent - 16ft x 22ft

This outdoor large canopy heavy duty gazebo tent is perfect for hosting an engagement party, a bridal shower, or an intimate wedding ceremony. We tried it for a bridal shower party which catered for 20 people. The tent can accommodate 25 people, and there was heaps of space left to accommodate tables, chairs, and decorations.

If you are catering for a larger group or want to use it for an intimate wedding for up to 50 people, two tents could be placed side by side along with each other separately. It arrives in two boxes; one contains the tent, and the other box includes the poles and other accessories. The boxes together weigh 145lbs. The tent was easily assembled within an hour by three people. It can be done by two people too, but it would take longer.

It has an octagonal shape measuring 22.3" x 16.4" with two solid pushback doors and eight walls with six beautiful big church-like windows that not only improve the aesthetics of the tent but also let in the light. Due to its octagonal shape, it is not suitable to join two tents to make it into a larger single party tent. However, multiple separate tents could be purchased and installed side by side where one could be used for the guest signing book, photo booth and wishing well, one for kids' activities, one for food, and so on. The walls attach with Velcro fasteners. They are made predominantly from polyethylene and polyester, which block up to 90% of the sun's UV radiation, keeping the canopy cool and the guests comfortable in warm weather. The rods holding up the tent are made from steel, which is lightweight yet sturdy and about eight feet long. There are no columns holding it up from the inside, leaving the floor open and clear for arranging tables, chairs, and serving stations flexibly. The tent has ropes and metal edges for increased stability, enhancing its ability to survive windy conditions. When you are done with the party, the tent can be easily disassembled in 15-20 minutes and stored away in the packaging box until the next event. It is easy to transport but will need an SUV or a large car.

charaHOME Pop Up - 10ft x 20ft

This 10x20 shade canopy is perfectly designed to provide a large and reliable temporary shade for larger pre and post-wedding parties for up to 25 people for one tent and two or three tents to cater for small to medium-sized outdoor weddings. We used this tent to host a pre-wedding drinks ceremony of 25 people for the bride and groom's families and friends.

The tent is of high quality and has a heavy-duty design with a powder-coated steel frame, which prevents chipping, peeling, rust, and corrosion, and footplates that can be fixed to the ground with nails for added stability. We used this on a cloudy yet warm summer's day with some rain. The material is a 210D oxford silver fabric that blocks up to 99% of the sun's UV rays protecting your family, friends, and guests from exposure to the sunlight and hence best suited for warm weather conditions. The tent did not show signs of rusting after being used in the rain. The frame was effortless to assemble by one person, and it comes with a unique quick-release button, which made the setup and disassembly quick and easy.

It features four adjustable height walls and can be attached with Velcro fasteners for easy assembly and removal. The walls can be installed or chosen not to, depending on the occasion. We had the walls installed as there was a prediction of rain on the day. The walls have beautiful large transparent windows which are practical and let the light in.

We bought the model with sidewalls in the color white. However, with this model, you can order it without the sidewalls and save a little money if needed. With the sidewalls removed, it is possible to join 2-3 tents to cater to a larger group of guests. For example, two 10x20 tents and one 10x10 tent joined together can cater to a wedding for up to 60 people.

The tent comes with a 12-month warranty and a portable bag. Once the event was over, it was easy to disassemble, carry, and fit at the back of a sedan.

It can accommodate up to 25 people or up to four 6 ft tables. There are four color options to choose from in this size- beige, white, navy blue, and black to match your wedding's color theme. We bought two of these in white and used them to host an engagement party.

The tent does not require any tools, and 3-6 people quickly set up each tent in about 15 minutes. The height is adjustable, with the highest point being 8.4 feet. We used the maximum height to bring in more light as it was an overcast day. The frame is rustproof and made of steel. The straight legs of the frame allow for two or more tents to be placed beside one another, which helped to cater for the 40 guests.

We had seven 6 ft tables and chairs in between the two tents, one table was used to place the food, and the rest were used for guests to sit down and eat in a casual setting. The tent has four removable walls that are 10 feet wide, six ground stakes, and ropes for securing the tent.

Two of the four walls have windows and are easily attached or removed using Velcro or hooks. This party tent is best suited for warm weather and not recommended in strong wind conditions of over 10 miles (6kph) per hour. The material of the canopy is 210D polyester, which is UV proof and water-resistant.

Three sidewalls come with the tent and can be installed separately and easily with fasteners.
