Cocktail parties are great fun. They are an informal mixer that lacks any schedule and enables your guests to just have a good time. The topic of this post is how to size a tent/event space for a cocktail party. The rule of thumb is that you assume 6-8 sq ft/person for "roaming" space. This number will create the "feel" of the event. If you want it tight and have your guests be closer together, then you reduce this number. If you want your guest to be able to spread out, then increase the number. You must also add the amount of space the furniture takes up and the amount of space for the food stations and bars. The area that a piece of furniture takes up is a function of it's size and the amount of space you want around it for guests. The amount of space for a bar is typically about 250 sq ft per bartender. (if you have a two-bartender bar, then about 500 sq ft) It really is that simple. If anyone has any questions or comments, then please let me know.
