Thank you for checking out 781 Tents & Events! We are a small, family run business whose goal is to provide simple, affordable tent and party rentals to Lynnfield, Peabody, Salem, Marblehead, Beverly, Ipswich, Gloucester, Wilmington, and Andover area. We realize not everyone has experience planning events, so here is some helpful information to get you started.

Pick the date for your event.

Get an estimate on # of guests. We can make small changes if your numbers change, but we may not be able to change the size of your tent during the busy months, so we suggest getting a larger tent than you may need, just in case!

Think about where you want the tent to be setup. Is the tent on grass or cement? In the yard or partially over a patio?

Frame Tents - We use “frame tents.” Frame tents are free-standing, they can be setup on cement, or in tight places where canopy style tents will not fit. Frame tents offer “open floor plan,” meaning there are no center poles or anything under the tent to plan around.

Think about your yard and let us know about underground hazards like sprinkler lines, electrical lines, septic tanks, gas lines, etc. None of these things are deal-breakers, but we have to know about this before driving stakes into the ground. Also, tents are tall, check to see if there are branches or power-lines over head.

Still uncertain? Call DigSafe (#811) to mark off underground hazards. Its free and easy.

Lets use technology. Rather than a site visit, let’s start by taking a picture! You can send us photos of the area if you aren’t sure.
