Sail Cloth Tents Rentals - McCarthy Tents & Events | Party and Tent Rentals Rochester NY & Buffalo NY

Inspired by the sea, the sailcloth tent has rapidly become a popular choice for brides and special event planners. With nautical flair, the sculpted peaks and eaves combine to create an open-air event space that’s unique and striking. The translucence of the sail cloth fabric enhances daytime events with natural warm light, and it positively glows when lit for evening gatherings. The fabric is 100% waterproof and very strong to help assure your special day is not affected by the elements. These tents are a great way to wow your guest and leave a lasting impression.

McCarthy Tents & Events was first to bring sailcloth tent rentals to the Rochester area – and we’ve also provided them for events in Buffalo, Syracuse, Ithaca, the Finger Lakes region, and even as far as Saratoga and Albany – so we’re sail cloth tent experts.

McCarthy tent did a great job in all the details from beginning to end . Tent came on schedule and crew worked effectively even added the extra grapevine wreaths for us . Nate in the office is by far the best customer service support I have worked with. They even came and brought extra stuff we ordered at last minute. I highly recommend McCarthys !read more

The day has not quite arrived yet. So far the service has been very pleasant and efficient. But they can not pinpoint a 4 hour window when they may arrive to set up. To just say they will call you 30 minutes prior is not helpful. When you are planning a large party, that's not exactly a timetable that works. I would think by the day before, you could pinpoint either morning or afternoon for a delivery schedule.read more

I connected with Mike (based out of Buffalo) at McCarthy's for ALL my rental needs for our backyard wedding (tent, tables and chairs, lights, ovens, grills, plates, silverware, linens, EVERYTHING) and had a truly fantastic experience. With all the moving pieces that go into a wedding the rentals was a piece I never worried about. Every time I called (planning this from Boston) all my questions were answered by Mike or someone on the team. Costs were always clear and the set up and take down were seamless. I would recommend them fully and without hesitation, they are simply the BEST!!!!read more

I worked with McCarthy Tents & Events over the past year while planning for my July wedding. The staff there is so incredibly kind and receptive to your needs. We could not have been happier with the service we received. The sail cloth tent we had set up at our wedding - all I can say is WOW. It was beyond incredible. We doubled up on the lights and the outcome was magical. I still day dream about the tent and how gorgeous it was. Do yourself a favor and work with McCarthy Tents & Events for any celebration - you will not be disappointed!! read more

We used McCarthy's to rent linens, table settings and coffee service items for our wedding this past weekend. We were so pleased with their service. Beginning with Jamie who set up our contract for us to the lovely guys who delivered our items to us and then helped us unload them when we brought them back... everyone was courteous and helpful and went above and beyond. They were prompt and responded to every inquiry we made within hours of leaving messages. We would highly recommend McCarthy's to anyone looking for quality items at a fair price and would like those items delivered with a smile. Thank you McCarthy's!

My family and I have used MT&E for many events, including the most important....my wedding day. From the beginning of the process, to the end, including all the changes in between, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. We look forward to many more years of supporting MT&E and their stellar services.

My husband and I are so grateful we found this wonderful company to work with for our wedding! We got married in NY but live in Maine, so we completely relied on our vendors having excellent communication, which Rick had from day one. He was helpful, insightful, and prompt at responding. We were incredibly impressed when he offered to do a site visit a few month's before our wedding when we were in town (over a two hour drive one way) - above and beyond for sure! We had questionable weather the week before our event, and the team worked with us to get our tent up as early as possible to keep the ground dry. Everything we rented from them (tables, chairs, tent, dance floor, bar, wine barrels, etc.) was in great condition, and the team that delivered it/set the tent up was very helpful, efficient, and kind. We loved their selection of rental items, and the fact that they were willing to deliver to the Watertown area. We highly recommend anyone looking for a smooth rental process with a company who treats you like family to look no further than McCarthy's. Thank you all so much for everything!

These guys are absolutely top notch. Jeff was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and extremely detail oriented - perfect for an event planner bride!! He responded to all my emails with thoughtful suggestions and guidance, and spent at least 5 hours with me in person or on the phone near the end of the planning process to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. I was especially impressed with all of the detailed notes that Jeff included in the order itself so there were very few questions when everything was being installed. We also changed our mind on something the last minute due to weather, and Jeff was positive and receptive to the change and his guys did a magnificent job. The tent was better than I could have imagined. Their prices are fair to boot! They publish their entire catalog online, so you know exactly what you get, and the delivery fees to Ithaca were perfectly fair. As an event planner, I need to work with vendors that I trust to get the job done right, and Jeff made me feel 100% comfortable with everything - I could not recommend them ENOUGH!

We rented McCarthy Tents for a backyard graduation party. In the planning stages of the event the staff was accommodating and knowledgeable when it came to sizes and needs to make our celebration successful. The men who set up and took down the tent were efficient and respectful. The tent, tables and chairs were all in great condition and clean. The tent looked beautiful and provided a cool, nicely shaded area for our guest to eat. With McCarthy Tents & Events you won't be disappointed!

Our daughter was married June 17th at Knox Farms in East Aurora NY. We had the ceremony as well as dinner outside. Were rented the tent, chairs and the arch for the ceremony. We were so pleased with this company. Everything was clean and in good condition. The men who came to do the set up and tear down were very professional and friendly And we can't thank Nate enough for all his help in the planning process. He was very patient and helpful with our many questions. If your looking for quality and professionalism this is the company to use

We used McCarthy for our wedding in 2012 and they were fantastic! I've used them for my son's 1st, 2nd and soon to be 3rd birthday parties and plan on continuing that trend as long as I have his parties. Everyone is so personable and just amazing to work with!

Everyone at McCarthy rental was wonderful to work with! They were always there and understanding when I had questions or made changes to my order. The end results were amazing! My only disappointment was in the heaters. I really never thought to ask about those and they were not what I expected and weren't what I really wanted. But that could have been avoided if I took the time to inquire about them. So my suggestion is to take the time to ask questions about every detail! Their crew was great! Would definitely recommend McCarthy Rentals!!

McCarthys' did an incredible job for my daughter's wedding. The weather turned cold and rainy and the staff came 3 times to set up additional tents and tunnels to create a beautiful and dry setting. The tent and tunnels were gorgeous. We were delighted with their service and products. Thanks for all your support. Jill

I had an open air reception at my wedding a couple weeks ago with lighting done by McCarthy Tents. They did a fantastic job!! I can not say enough great things about how easy and fun it was to work with Mike. He checked in with me frequently and was ALWAYS available when I wanted to talk about plans or make changes. I also rented linens from them and they were perfect. Every part about working with McCarthy Tents was flawless. Highly recommend for all the brides-to-be out there who need someone to complete their vision!!!!

McCarthy's just did our outdoor wedding (tent, chairs, tables, linens, everything!) and we couldn't have been happier with our experience!! From the guys who respond to emails to the crew who sets up, we were 110% satisfied with our experience! We ended up being short a few tables, and I realized it a mere day prior, and the guys at the warehouse were quick to get what we needed together so it could be picked up. Amazing customer service and we will forever consider McCarthy's for our future needs!
