Learn More About Renting With Us

Read further to learn a little bit about party rentals in general, and our process.

Thank you for checking out Capitol Event Rentals. We are a small business whose goal is to provide professional tent rentals and other event rental items to DC, Baltimore, Northern VA & surrounding DMV areas. We realize not everyone has experience planning events, so here is some helpful information to get you started.

Pick a date for your event. Most events are on Saturday or Sunday. We typically set up tents and deliver equipment on Thursday or Friday and take them down on Monday or Tuesday. We should coordinate around timing for delivery and pickup. Does your venue require same-day delivery and removal?

How many guests are you expecting? You don’t have to get this exactly right. We understand that you might not have a firm headcount yet, but let us know roughly how many guests you are expecting.

Do you have a rain contingency plan? If you are hosting an outdoor event, you should have a plan in case of rain. We partner with tent rental companies and can help you add a tent if needed. **Note, we are not a full-scale tent rental business and tents require planning. Last minute tent requests can be very tricky to accommodate.
