The McCarthy name
Since 2007, Sean McCarthy has worked relentlessly to build the tents and events company he believed his friends and neighbors in the Rochester area deserved. He gained trust and referrals in the early days by personally going above and beyond for every customer. Today, he still works tirelessly on every facet of the business, even set-ups and tear-downs, in pursuit of giving every client that elevated experience. With his name on the door, Sean feels a personal responsibility to give every job his all.
“I’ve been doing tents since I was 16 years old. The whole reason I started this business was because I knew people deserved better than what they were getting. I continuously question how I can take things to the next level, and I still enjoy pushing the boundaries of what being a rental company can mean, and how great it can be.”
-Sean McCarthy

Wedding Rental Planning Tools
What size tent, dance floor, etc. do I need?These are the most common questions asked by people looking for wedding tents and wedding rentals. To accommodate the various items at a reception, such as a dance floor or bar area, wedding tents tend to be larger than a standard backyard party setup. Based on guest count, below is a rough guide to the types of additional rentals you’ll need to consider for underneath a wedding tent. Please note that these are suggestions and not “packages,” every single wedding we help to create is custom and based on each unique customer’s needs.

Additional Things to ConsiderPower Sources
McCarthy Tents & Events offers power generators for remote locations, but for any tented event it’s important to consider where your power will come from, how much power you’ll need, and the safety logistics behind it all. You may need power for evening lighting, a band / DJ and possibly a caterer. Each vendor should be able to tell you how much power they will need, then we can help guide you from there.
Caterers
If you’re unsure who to choose for a caterer, please don’t hesitate to ask our team of event specialists. We have worked closely with the area caterers for many years and can help guide you to the right person for your event based on location, style and budget.
Money-Saving Tip!
Looking to save money on glassware and china? If you’re open to your serving style, place settings, surprisingly, are less expensive than buffets. The reason is that in buffets, guests do not reuse their plates, whereas seated they simply use what they’re provided. This also saves on back end cleaning fees and labor.
