with Cork & Clover Events — before you even have to ask.
PRICING & BOOKING
The Essentials
What is the minimum order amount?
Our minimum rental order is $50, not including any delivery or setup fees. Contact us if you're unsure whether your order meets the minimum — we're happy to help figure it out.
How much does tent rental cost?
Our high-peak frame tents start at $400 for a 20x20 (up to 40 guests), $800 for a 20x40 (60–80 guests), $1,200 for a 20x60 (100–120 guests), and $1,600 for a 20x80 (160+ guests). All tent rentals include professional delivery, setup, and teardown. Multi-day pricing is available — contact us for details.
Is everything quoted individually or do you offer packages?
At this time everything is quoted individually based on your specific event needs. This lets us build a custom estimate that fits exactly what you need — nothing more, nothing less. Contact us to get started and we'll put together a quote for your event.
How much is the deposit and when is full payment due?
A 25% deposit is required to secure your date and make your booking official. The remaining balance is due in full prior to delivery or setup. All payment details will be clearly outlined in your estimate.
What is your cancellation policy?
Your 25% deposit is fully refundable if you cancel at least 14 days prior to your event date. Cancellations made within 14 days of the event are non-refundable. Please contact us as soon as possible if your plans change and we will do our best to work with you.
Can I reschedule my booking?
Yes — we understand that plans change, especially with outdoor events. Contact us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule and we will do our best to accommodate your new date based on availability.
How quickly will I receive an estimate?
We typically send estimates within a few hours of your inquiry. Our maximum turnaround time is 24 hours — so you'll never be left waiting long to know where things stand.
Tents
Does tent rental include delivery, setup, and teardown?
Yes — all tent rentals include professional delivery, setup, and complete teardown at no extra charge. For tables, chairs, and linens, delivery and setup are available as an add-on service for an additional fee.
What size tent do I need for my event?
A general rule of thumb is 10 square feet per guest for banquet-style seating, or 6–8 square feet for cocktail and standing receptions. Our sizes range from 20x20 (up to 40 guests) to 20x80 (160+ guests). We offer site visits for tent rentals to assess your space and recommend the right fit.
Can you set up on a hard surface like a driveway or patio?
Yes — for locations where staking into the ground isn't possible, we use 700lb concrete ballasts to anchor the tent safely on any hard surface including driveways, patios, and concrete. Ballasts are available as an add-on starting at $50 each.
Do you offer sidewalls for tents?
Yes — we offer solid sidewalls and window sidewalls starting at $40 each. Solid sidewalls add privacy and wind protection, while window sidewalls let in natural light while keeping guests comfortable. Both attach seamlessly to any of our high-peak tents.
Do I need a permit for a tent rental?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. It is the renter's responsibility to obtain any local permits, HOA approvals, or event licenses required for your location. We handle the 811 Dig Safe call before any ground staking to protect underground utilities — this is always our responsibility and is included with every tent rental at no extra charge.
Do you do site visits?
Yes — we offer site visits primarily for tent rentals to assess your space and make sure we recommend the right size and configuration. Site visits for other rentals are available if needed. Just mention it when you reach out.
Tables, Chairs & Linens
What tables do you offer?
We carry 8-foot banquet tables (starting at $12), 60-inch round tables (starting at $14), and 30-inch cocktail tables (starting at $14). All tables are available with delivery and setup as an add-on service.
What chairs do you offer?
We carry white garden chairs (starting at $4), white folding chairs (starting at $3), and black folding chairs (starting at $2). Our white garden chairs are a popular choice for outdoor weddings, while our folding chairs are a versatile option for any event style.
Do you offer linen rentals?
Yes — we offer an extensive premium linen selection including tablecloths, napkins, runners, chair covers, and sashes in 40+ fabric collections and 60+ colors. Options include solids, satin, sequins, velvet, pintuck, lace, dupioni, and many more. Sized for banquet, round, and cocktail tables. Contact us for a full linen quote.
Service Area & Availability
What areas do you serve?
We serve Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois including Janesville, Beloit, Milton, Edgerton, Evansville, Stoughton, Fort Atkinson, Whitewater, and the greater Madison area. Not sure if we cover your location? Give us a call at (608) 291-4691 or send us a message and we'll let you know.
Do you operate year-round?
We currently operate seasonally from April through October. If your event falls outside this window, feel free to reach out and we'll let you know if we can accommodate your date.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as possible — especially for summer weekends which book up fast. For weddings and large events, 3–6 months in advance is ideal. For smaller gatherings and graduation parties, 4–6 weeks is typically sufficient. Contact us to check availability for your date.
