A&B Event + Tent Rental is a family-owned event-rental business with a showroom at 1930 Hyde Park Road in London, Ontario. For couples comparing tent rentals in London, Ontario, the company’s official catalogue documents wedding-ready tent styles alongside furniture, linens, tabletop pieces and selected catering or event equipment.

The current official site identifies the company as A&B Event + Tent Rental and says it supports weddings, corporate functions and community events. It describes more than three generations of family ownership and operation. This profile reflects the current branding rather than the legacy name in the original listing. Last reviewed: August 10, 2026.

Services and specialization

A&B’s catalogue is centred on tents and coordinated event rentals. Its official site lists clear tents, white frame tents, pole tents, sail cloth tents and canopies. It also lists chairs, tables and bars; table linens, napkins, runners and overlays; glassware, dinnerware, charger plates and cutlery; plus bar-service and cooking or serving equipment.

For wedding planning, this range can allow a couple to source the shelter and many visible reception elements through one rental supplier. The official site has a dedicated weddings pathway and describes its inventory as serving events of every size. These are rental offerings; the official pages do not establish that A&B provides wedding planning, catering, floral design or venue services.

Tent styles: clear, frame, pole, sail cloth and canopies.
Reception rentals: furniture, linens and tabletop items.
Additional listed categories: bars, glassware, dinnerware, cutlery and kitchen or catering equipment.

Tent options and event layout considerations

The official tent pages provide practical distinctions for an initial inquiry. Frame tents use an aluminum frame rather than centre poles; the company says this creates an unobstructed interior. Its page notes that grass installations need five feet of clearance around the perimeter for staking, while hard-surface installations use concrete blocks only for tents up to 30 by 30 feet.

Clear-frame tents are presented for outdoor events including weddings, with professional delivery, installation and takedown included. The clear-tent page says the site should be flat and clear of trees, shrubs and overhanging branches, and that about 10 feet around each side is required for staking. Sail cloth tents use translucent vinyl and wooden poles, while pole tents have interior centre poles; these details may affect a floor plan, décor plan and venue suitability.

Capacity examples are published for individual tent configurations, but they vary by style and whether the event is cocktail-style or seated. Couples should treat them as starting points and ask A&B to confirm a layout for their guest count and site.

Clear-frame options shown range from 30 by 45 feet to 40 by 90 feet.
Sail cloth options shown include 44 by 64 and 44 by 84 feet.
Pole-tent options shown include 30 by 45 feet through 40 by 80 feet.

Service area and who it may suit

The business is based in London, Ontario. Its homepage refers to weddings and other events across Southwestern Ontario, while its contact page also refers to Ontario more broadly. The site does not publish a complete delivery-area list, travel policy or event-site fee schedule, so couples should confirm coverage and charges for their specific venue.

A&B may suit couples planning an outdoor or tented wedding, or those who want to coordinate a tent with seating, tables, linens and tabletop rentals. It may also suit couples who prefer to compare items in person: the site invites visitors to the London showroom on weekdays and says no appointment is needed. Suitability still depends on the event date, venue conditions, tent availability and the rentals required.

Base: London, Ontario.
Official service-area wording includes Southwestern Ontario and Ontario.
Showroom visits: weekdays, with no appointment required according to the official site.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the range of compatible rental categories: tents, furniture, linen and tabletop items appear in the current catalogue, alongside equipment for bar and catering setups. Another documented feature is professional installation for clear tents, including delivery and takedown. The official site also says showroom consultants can help visitors mix and match rentals for an event design; it describes this consultation as complimentary and commitment-free.

The practical limitations are details that must be confirmed directly. Published tent capacities are not a substitute for a site assessment or detailed floor plan. The official pages set different clearance and installation conditions by tent type, and the site does not publish a complete delivery area, travel charge, deposit policy, cancellation terms or all-inclusive wedding package. Ask for these details in writing before committing.

Confirmed feature: multiple tent styles plus matching reception-rental categories.
Confirmed feature: clear-tent delivery, installation and takedown are described as included.
Confirm directly: site suitability, delivery coverage, fees, terms and final inventory availability.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. A&B’s tent pages state that tent pricing is supplied by follow-up email after the team explores availability for the event date. The online catalogue does display prices for some individual rental items, such as certain linens, napkins, glassware and ice tubs, but these do not establish the cost of a wedding rental or tent installation.

For a useful quote, provide the date, venue address, guest count, tentative seating style, tent preference, surface type and any furniture, linen or tabletop requirements. Ask whether delivery, installation, takedown, accessories, staking or blocking, cleaning, taxes and damage waivers are included or quoted separately.

What couples should confirm

Before reserving, confirm the exact tent style and dimensions that fit the venue, guest count and intended layout. For a clear or frame tent, review staking, clearance and surface requirements with both A&B and the venue. For a pole or sail cloth tent, clarify the position of centre or wooden support poles in relation to dining, dancing and décor.

Request an itemized written quote and confirm delivery coverage, timing for installation and takedown, weather procedures, site preparation, accessory needs, payment schedule, cancellation or change terms, and what happens if a requested rental item is unavailable. The official site supports a custom-quote process, but it does not publish these project-specific terms.

Confirm venue permissions and tent-site measurements.
Confirm the final layout, required accessories and installation method.
Confirm all quote inclusions, taxes, terms and timing in writing.
