Tent rentals in Washington: what to know

What size tent do I need?
Plan on about 10 square feet per guest for standing cocktails, 12 for a buffet and 15 for seated dinners, plus room for a dance floor or bar. A 20×20 tent seats roughly 25–30 guests at round tables.
Do I need a permit for a tent in Washington?
Tents in DC are permitted by the Department of Buildings (DOB) through its online tent permit service; a tent on a sidewalk, street or alley also needs DDOT approval. DC does not publish one size threshold, so check with DOB for your tent’s size and site. Source: DC Department of Buildings: Tent permit
