Key West & the Florida Keys, Florida

Rentals

In Key West & the Florida Keys: Six rental companies serve the whole chain, and everything they own arrived by truck up US-1 or by barge; there is no next-metro overflow warehouse when they run out. Book rentals when you book the venue rather than in the last quarter, and confirm delivery charges by mile marker, because Marathon-to-Islamorada is an hour with no alternative route if the road is closed. Tenting here is about wind, not rain. A tropical storm brings sustained sixty-mile-per-hour gusts across a peninsula that is often a mile wide at most, and a properly engineered, ballasted structure with permit-grade side panels is the only honest answer between June and November. Ask about weather cancellation on the tent specifically. Some quotes hold the deposit if the venue calls it off, others refund down to setup labor. And check what happens to your delivery slot if a hurricane advisory has trucks pinned to the mainland; the answer is usually that they deliver when they can drive.

How to think about rentals

Everything the venue doesn't provide, you rent: tables, chairs, linens, place settings, glassware, lounge furniture, a dance floor, lighting, heaters, and — for any outdoor day — the tent that is quite literally your entire weather plan. Rentals are invisible when they're right and impossible to ignore when they're wrong. Blank-slate venues lean on them heavily; all-inclusive venues may need only a few accents. Order through your caterer or a dedicated rental company, and read the fine print on delivery, setup, and teardown fees, which add up faster than couples expect. If a tent is your rain backup, price it early — it belongs in the budget from day one, not as a panicked day-of line item.
