Formula for estimating Tent Size is:  Number of Guests X 12=Square Feet,
add 50 square feet for each serving table, add 75 square feet for DJ, add 1 foot to both sides of dance floor to get needed square feet for dance floor and add to total square feet.
Example:
150 guests seated around tables with 6 serving tables, four for food, a cake table and a gift table, a DJ, and a 15x15 dance floor.
150 x 12 = 1800 sf for guests seated around tables
6 x 50 =      300 sf 6 total tables - 4 serving, cake, gifts
1 x 75 =       75 sf DJ area
16x16=       256 sf  15x15 dance floor (add 1 foot to each side)
Total         2431 sf needed.  Tent Size needed would be 40x60.
