A private party calls for a structure that knows how to fade into the background in favour of the atmosphere: the lighting, the bar and the dance floor matter as much as the cover. Stretch tents, bamboo marquees and crystal tents are our favourite formats for this kind of event — discreet by day, magnetic by night.
Our recommendation
For a private party, favour a structure that stands out at night: a lit stretch tent, a bamboo marquee with string lights, a crystal tent that reveals the surroundings. Flooring is almost always useful for the dance floor and for comfort in heels.
Worth keeping in mind
Noise is often the number-one constraint of a private party. Choose an isolated structure if you plan music late, or fully close the tent to absorb the sound.

Our team supports event organisers across France with a complete tent hire offer soirée privée. A private party of up to 200 people aims for an exclusive, intimate experience, often held in a garden, a courtyard or a private terrace. The stretch tent, the bamboo marquee and the crystal tent are the most sought-after choices for their signature silhouette and their ability to create a strong visual bubble. We operate across the whole country, with teams that can be mobilised quickly to coordinate the setup, the access and the technical equipment. For an outdoor wedding, a corporate cocktail reception or a private reception, we size the structure, the guest flow and the technical options (flooring, lighting, heating, lining) to deliver a result that is durable, clear and consistent with your budget.
Why hire a tent for soirée privée
Hiring a tent for a private party lets you arrange a seated dinner or a standing dinner cocktail in an unequipped venue, with a fully customisable staging and complete control over the atmosphere.
The private party format tolerates few compromises on aesthetics: the structure itself must contribute to the result. Stretch, crystal and bamboo marquees bring a strong visual signature that guests notice straight away.
Our offer for soirée privée
For a private party, we steer you towards the stretch tent (premium organic look, gardens and estates), the crystal tent (full transparency, panoramic view), the bamboo marquee (high-end natural aesthetic) or the pagoda tent for restricted urban spaces.
The key equipment covers timber or parquet flooring, indirect lighting (festoons, spots, suspended chandeliers), lounge furniture, a dressed bar and thermal options depending on the season.
We adapt the configuration to the venue's constraints: natural ground, paved courtyard, timber terrace, rooftop or landscaped garden.
Prices and budget for soirée privée
The budget for a private party depends on the level of finish sought. A bare stretch tent with flooring remains affordable; a full configuration with crystal dressing, scenographic lighting and lounge furniture moves up to the premium range.
We price each option separately to allow trade-offs between structure, flooring, lighting and furniture according to the available budget.
For a tent hire service soirée privée in France, you receive a full estimate within 24 h including delivery, setup, takedown and logistics coordination.
Setup, installation and logistics
Our teams handle the installation and delivery across the whole country, with a precise schedule agreed in advance with your reception venue.
Setup is scheduled the day before or the morning of the event depending on the size of the structure and the venue's constraints. For parties in an urban courtyard, we coordinate access and delivery times with the site manager.
Takedown is quick for modular configurations (pagoda tents, stretch) and longer for premium volumes (crystal, bamboo). The timing is confirmed in advance with the client and the venue.

FAQ
Everything to know before hiring a tent for a private party
8 targeted answers to prepare your private party project: capacities, prices, regulations, logistics.
For a party of 100 focused on bar + dance floor, allow 80 to 120 m² of usable space. A stretch tent ~130 m² or an 10×12m marquee leave enough room for the bar, dance floor and lounge area.
Yes, provided you manage the noise: notifying neighbours in advance, closing the tent for music after 10pm, keeping the sound level under control. For parties that want to run late, choose a non-residential venue (an estate, an isolated property).
In peak season (May to September, especially for weddings), we recommend booking 4 to 6 months ahead to have the full choice of the catalogue. In low season or for corporate events, 4 to 8 weeks is generally enough. For urgent projects, we assess availability case by case and send a detailed response within 24 h with a realistic execution plan.
Our catalogue covers every format: glass marquee and cathedral glass marquee (signature prestige), orangery (grand-style prestige), marquee from 5 to 20 m wide, nomadic stretch tent (Berber tent) from 50 to over 500 m², transparent crystal tent, silhouette tent (sailcloth), bamboo marquee, reception tipi, velum tent, arched tent, modular pagoda tents (3×3 m to 6×12 m), pop-up gazebos, folding tents, rooftop tents, decked-platform structures, canopies, as well as demountable halls, storage tents and large-span structures for B2B uses. Capacity from 20 to over 2,000 people.
We operate across the whole of France, with priority coverage of the major conurbations (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nantes, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Lille, Nice…) and their outskirts within a 50 km radius. Transport and logistics coordination are included in every quote, with no hidden costs.
Yes. Our services systematically include delivery, secure setup by a team of professional technicians, and takedown at the end of the event. The quote breaks down the three items separately for a clear reading. Each step is planned in advance with your venue and your providers (caterer, decorator, DJ).
As a rough guide, expect between 15 and 40 € excl. VAT per m² for the installed structure depending on the range. A private event of 80 to 120 people usually sits between 2,000 and 5,500 €, a corporate project of 150 to 250 people between 4,500 and 12,000 €, and a large festival-type event above 12,000 €. The final price depends on the type of structure, the duration, the options (flooring, lighting, heating) and the season.
For an event of 100 guests, the usual ranges are: 1,800 to 3,800 € for a standing cocktail reception (80-110 m²), 2,500 to 6,000 € for a seated meal under a marquee (120-150 m²), 3,500 to 8,000 € with a dance floor and bar (150-180 m²), and 4,000 to 10,000 € for a premium transparent tent. The price includes structure, transport, setup and takedown. The options (wooden flooring, lighting, heating, fabric lining) are quoted separately.
