Services
Frame Tents
We offer premium frame tents in 15+ sizes from 10'x10' to 40'x120', ideal for weddings and large events. These center-pole-free structures feature durable white vinyl canopies and included side walls. Each installation uses specialized anchoring systems for grass or pavement, with optional cement weights available. Our tents provide reliable weather protection while allowing complete layout customization for both formal and casual gatherings.
Table Rentals
Our extensive table inventory includes round banquet tables (36"-72" diameters), rectangular conference tables (30"x48" to 30"x96"), and classroom-style tables. Available in various seating capacities from 4 to 10 people per table, all units maintain strict safety standards and clean room-ready conditions. We provide layout planning assistance to optimize space utilization for dining, buffets, or workstations.
Chair Rentals
We supply commercial-grade folding chairs in multiple styles including black, off-white, wedding white, and garden variants. Each chair meets safety compliance standards and durability requirements for both indoor and outdoor use. Our inventory supports events of all scales, with bulk delivery options and coordinated color-matching available for formal occasions.
Dance Floors
Professional dance floors available in 12'x15' and 15'x18' modular configurations, featuring interlocking panels over 1" thick. These elevated platforms provide stable, slip-resistant surfaces that enhance event aesthetics. Each installation requires complete tent coverage and careful site leveling to ensure safety and structural integrity for evening events.
Tent Heaters
Commercial propane heaters available in 80M BTU and 170M BTU capacities for maintaining comfortable temperatures. Units operate safely within enclosed tents while meeting ventilation and clearance requirements. We provide installation guidance to ensure proper placement away from tent walls and guest traffic areas during colder season events.
Questions
How do I determine the right tent size for my event?
Calculate required space by multiplying guest count by 10-12 sq ft per person for seated meals. Add 20-25% additional space for dance floors, bars, or serving areas. We provide free layout planning and scaled diagrams to visualize your event space requirements.
What areas do you serve for tent rentals?
We provide full-service tent rentals throughout Central Massachusetts, Northern Rhode Island, and Northeastern Connecticut. This includes Worcester, Brimfield, and surrounding areas with specialized support for large events like the Brimfield Antique Show.
Are permits required for tent installations?
Tents 20'x20' or larger in Massachusetts require building permits. We supply necessary documentation including flame resistance certificates and insurance credentials. Property owners must obtain permits through local authorities before installation.
What payment options are available?
We require 50% deposit at reservation with full payment due two weeks before delivery. Accepted payment methods include major credit cards, cash, and business checks. Special arrangements must be made in advance for alternative payment terms.
Can tents be installed on paved surfaces?
Yes, we specialize in securing tents on asphalt and concrete using electric breakers for pilot holes and cement weights when staking isn't possible. Additional fees apply for weight-based installations, with costs ranging from $20-$100 depending on tent size requirements.

They have been setting up out tent for many years they are by far the best we used several other companies before we were lucky enough to find The Tent Connection. Always do a great job even though I require specific placement we couldn't be happier

Tent Connection does hundreds of tents at the Brimfield shows but there are several other tent companies servicing these shows as well. We only service the fields where we have enough tent orders that allow us to work efficiently. We offer a reduced rate for tents at the show because of this efficiency. This is the reason why we don't service all the fields in Brimfield.

They've been in business since 1991 servicing the central mass area for fairs, weddings, special events, graduations & more. They are professional & hard working. They have consistent repeat customers and have an excellent reputation for tent, table, chair & party rental.

Unprofessional. Ridiculous. Disappointing. Called to book my tent for the upcoming Brimfield Antique Show in September. They had exactly what I needed which was a relief. I started the rental process with the receptionist but when she found out what field I was in she immediately shut down the conversation and said "we don't rent to dealers for that field". Dealers beware, do not waste your time. For claiming to be the #1 tent supplier for Brimfield this company is completely unprofessional.
