When planning an event — whether it’s a wedding, corporate party, festival, or private celebration — every detail matters. One of the most important steps is understanding your guest count and how it affects your layout, rental choices, and tent size.
At Universal Rentals and Events, we help clients across St. Louis, Missouri make confident event-planning decisions with professional guidance and high-quality rental equipment, including tents, tables, chairs, dance floors, stages, and décor.
Step 1: Start with an Accurate Guest Count
Your guest count is the foundation of your event plan. It determines the amount of space you’ll need, the number of tables and chairs to rent, and the size of your tent.
Before booking your rentals, take time to:
- Confirm RSVP estimates and finalize your invite list
- Account for vendors, staff, and entertainment in your total count
- Plan for a few extra guests to ensure comfort and flexibility
Even small changes in guest numbers can impact your space requirements — especially for outdoor weddings and events. A professional rental company like Universal Rentals and Events can help you calculate the perfect setup for your estimated attendance.
Step 2: Design a Functional Layout
Once your guest count is set, the next step is to plan your layout. A thoughtful layout ensures your event feels open, comfortable, and visually appealing.
Consider factors such as:
- Table styles – round tables for conversation or rectangular banquet tables for family-style dining
- Chair placement – ceremony seating, dining layouts, or theater-style arrangements
- Traffic flow – entrances, catering stations, bars, and restrooms
- Entertainment areas – stages, dance floors, or DJ setups
Our St. Louis event specialists can create custom layouts tailored to your venue and event type, helping you make the most of your space.
Step 3: Choose the Right Tent Size
For outdoor events in St. Louis, your tent rental is the centerpiece. The correct tent size depends on your guest count, table layout, and additional features like dance floors, buffet lines, or décor elements.
At Universal Rentals and Events, we offer a wide range of wedding tents, party tents, and event canopies, including:
- Frame tents and pole tents
- Clear-top and high-peak options for weddings
- Large commercial tents for festivals or corporate events
Our team can recommend the ideal tent size to ensure every guest stays comfortable — rain or shine.
Step 4: Work with Experienced Event Professionals
When you work with Universal Rentals and Events, you’re not just renting tables and chairs — you’re gaining a partner in event success. We provide:
- Expert layout and sizing advice
- Setup and takedown services
- High-quality, clean, and well-maintained rental items

Our goal is to make planning easy so you can focus on creating memories, not managing logistics.
