Great Lakes Tent

You think you know about tents and event rentals until you meet Jasmine, Mike and the Great Lakes Tent team. They are so well organized, detail oriented and professional, it made our outdoor wedding planning through COVID so much easier! Special shout out to Eric and the team that worked throuh the rain to set up the tent on week of our wedding.

Great Lakes Tent Co has always been my “go to” place to rent tents, tables and chairs for any events at my home. They are very professional and extremely helpful with any questions and concerns. The employees who put the tents up and dismantle the tents are pleasant to work with and respectful of my property.

Mercy Education Project would like to thank the Great Lakes Tent Co. team for their above and beyond service and attentiveness. Their Lead Event Executive, Jasmine, was a joy to work with and even helped us with a CAD rendering of our space. Our fundraiser could not have been possible without their hard work. Thanks again GLT!

We hired Great Lakes Tent Co for a “heated” tent connected to our venue for a cocktail hour, during a January winter wedding. It was an absolute disappointment to see all our guests in winter jackets during the cocktail hour, in an non-enclosed and non-heated tent. Additionally, this tented patio space was supposed to be connected to the venue for constant guest flow back and forth during the entirety of the reception, but our venue had to keep the garage door closed throughout the evening to keep guests warm. This also discouraged guests from using the additional trailer bathrooms outside since it involved opening a garage door. We further learned this posed significant issues for our caterer with the logistics of keeping their prepared food warm for the guests. This company was a complete letdown to us and absolutely did NOT deliver the service that was expected or contracted for. Their response to the issue was that we could have called an emergency hotline and someone would have been there to fix the issue, which was not known by us, the venue or our day of coordinator. Their refund was minuscule compared to the cost of the tent, which served no purpose whatsoever and was a complete waste of money. To contrast, if any one would hire a tent company during the summer and expect it to keep their guests dry or out of the sun, you would expect that as a basic function of the tent. I would highly discourage anyone from using Great Lakes Tent Co and they should be removed from any preferred vendor list in the Metro Detroit area.

We utilized Great Lakes Tent Co. to provide a heated tented area for our cocktail hour ahead of our wedding reception in late January in Detroit. Unfortunately, the tent that was provided was mistakenly not fully enclosed, and as such, our guests were cold and had to wear winter coats during the cocktail hour. After spending the amount we did on the tent service, we were quite disappointed that we did not receive what we had paid for. We informed Great Lakes Tent Co. of the mistake/error and they were gracious to offer us a small partial refund due to the mistake, however the refund was miniscule in comparison to the amount we spent on our event when considering the significant mistake that was made.

I am very happy we went with Great Lakes Tent Company for our daughter’s outdoor wedding. They were very helpful in helping us determine our needs and were accommodating with changes. Delivery was on time and the setup crew helped us make decisions on placement of the tent, the dance floor, and tables. This was the first big event I had ever planned so I really appreciated all the suggestions. I recommend this company for your tent rental needs!

Worked directly with the owner . Hes a stand up guy that help with everything we needed . Definitely reccomend this company!

Pleas note that we previously rescheduled our wedding 3 times because of Covid. Mike and his team at Greak Lakes Tent went above and beyond for us. They were super patient and helpful during the entire process. Highly recommend getting the tent liner if you want your wedding to look more magical.

Such a pleasure to work with and very competitive pricing! What more can you ask for ?? I planned a backyard tent wedding for one of my couples this past summer & Jasmine was so easy to work with! She was always quick to reply to questions and changes, which is crucial to keeping everyone stress-free. She knows their inventory like the back of her hand, is incredibly friendly and personable, and put simply - gets the job done seamlessly! Everything was perfect from drop off to pick up, no issues with any tables or chairs; all worked well, were clean and easy to set up! Better hurry and book with them!

We used Great Lakes Tent rental for our wedding this year and could not have been happier. They were super helpful, always got back to us in a timely manner, and delivered/pickup the rental seamlessly. My husband and I highly recommend using them for your next event.
