The best wedding canopies for celebrating your big day

By

You’ve thought about the food, the music, and the wardrobe, but you may have overlooked wedding canopies for your outdoor wedding. These temporary shade solutions also help you designate food and drink stations in addition to seating arrangements. To make your preparation go more smoothly, we’ve profiled the best wedding canopies here.

Wedding canopies are essential to outdoor weddings, whether they’re used for seating, appetizer stations, or makeshift beverage bars. Consider what size canopy you need for your purpose, how much space you’re working with, and decide accordingly. Waterproof or water-resistant canopies are best in case of unexpected rain, though UV-blocking fabric is a must especially for all-day events. Most parties choose a white wedding canopy tent, though there are various colors available if you choose a livelier palette. Just take a look at our lineup.

ABCCANOPY Pop-Up Canopy

Best Sun Protection

The UV-blocking ABCCANOPY tent is your best weapon against the sun for daytime receptions. This 10 feet by 10 feet canopy provides enough shade for four tables or roughly 10 people, which is ample room for wedding parties when combined with a few other tents. Note that it takes two people to set up, and an included roller bag makes it easy to move from the van to the venue.

Eurmax Pop-Up Canopy Tent

Easy to Assemble

The Eurmax tent is your go-to if you need an easy-to-assemble shade solution. To set up, open up the frame by sliding the leg joints up one by one and then lock. When your event is complete, store the tent in the included roller bag designed to hold your canopy without having to stuff the parts in forcefully. Note that the canopy is 10 by 10 feet with adjustable leg heights.

Best Choice Products Outdoor Pop-Up Gazebo

Best Value

The Best Choice Products is the one if you’re looking for a best-value buy. It offers an easy setup that pop-up tents are known for with the durability and construction of a top-range model. Its rust-resistant steel frame and water-resistant cover makes it useful in any weather condition. For rougher days, utilize the included ropes and stakes to keep it upright.

An outdoor wedding canopy makes your setup look and feel more organized. Guide guests to designated drink and food stations or point them to their seats using different colored canopies. With sun-blocking fabrics and water-resistant covers, wedding canopies are equipped for any weather on your special day.
