How Much Does a 100-Guest Wedding Cost in Houston?
A 100-guest wedding is one of the most common sizes ACME plans for, which makes it a useful benchmark for understanding what a tent wedding actually costs. The total depends on tent size and style, flooring, and how much else you add — here’s how the pieces typically break down.
Tent and flooring: the biggest line items
Tent pricing typically runs around $0.80–$1.18 per square foot, and flooring starts around $1.70 per square foot, according to ACME’s current pricing. For 100 guests seated at round tables, you’re typically looking at a tent in the 1,600–2,000 square foot range once you account for a walkway, a buffet or bar, and possibly a dance floor — see the tent size guide for exact footprints by guest count. Flooring is optional on grass but common for a more finished look or any hard-surface site.
What else typically factors in
- Tables, chairs & linens. Priced per piece, scaled to your table count and style (round vs. banquet).
- Sidewalls, doors & climate control. Add cost if you're enclosing the tent for weather or air conditioning — essential for a fully enclosed, climate-controlled setup.
- Lighting. String lighting is the most budget-friendly option; uplighting and a lit dance floor cost more.
- Dance floor. Sized to how many guests will be dancing at once, not your full guest count.
- Delivery, setup & teardown. Factored into every quote based on site access and complexity.
