What the draping adds
A plain high peak tent is bare white inside: you see the frame, the seams and the poles. Draping covers that. Fabric is swagged along the eaves, wrapped round each pole and hung as curtains down the sides, so guests look up at cloth instead of hardware. The tent underneath is the same as our plain double high peak tent, KSh 6,000 per tent, on the same floor. The difference in price buys the fabric and the time our crew spends hanging it.
Why event tents are dressed at all
It is an old trade, not a Kenyan fashion. Liners, pole covers and swags exist to hide the structure of a tent, and the makers who supply hire firms sell them as a range of their own. InTents, the trade magazine of the Advanced Textiles Association, reported in 2008 on a US tent maker's liners and pole covers cut from flame-retardant, washable 100% polyester. That is the makers' standard, for their fabric. Our own fabric's rating is a detail we confirm on request, so ask if your venue needs a fire certificate for drapes.
Can the drape colours match the wedding colours?
Often, but we will not promise it here: which colours are free depends on your date. Send your colours with the date and we confirm what we can hang. For the rest of the room, chair tie-backs in your colour carry it onto the seats, tutu chair skirts dress plastic chairs for a children's party or a baby shower, and tables dressed with cloth overlays pick up the accent at the tables.
How many guests under the draped 100-seater?
The name is a trade label for a 50 m² floor. Curtains at the sides take a little room, so plan on the planner's count rather than the label. It gives 1 tent for 50 guests at tables and 2 for 100. Gala Tent, a UK marquee maker, allows 1.5 m² a diner at round tables and 1 m² a chair in rows, which puts this floor at about 33 dining or 50 in rows, so for a buffet line or a dance floor, send your layout. The dinner for 32 in the box above, four dressed round tables of eight with a tie-back on every chair, comes to KSh 17,600 before chairs and transport.
Price, and the other draped size
KSh 12,000 per tent covers the tent and its dressing for 24 hours, with pitching and striking included. Transport goes on the quote by distance, and a 50% deposit holds the date. For a smaller party, the draped tent on a 5 × 5 m square is KSh 9,000 per tent. Both finishes of this size, and what a 100 seater tent price in Kenya buys, are compared on the category page.
On the day
Choose level ground a little bigger than 5 × 10 m, clear of low branches and wires, and tell us early about a narrow gate.. Once it is up, nobody unties a drape to make way for a sound cable or moves a pole; call us. The fabric stays clear of candles, jikos and heaters. More shapes are on our tents for hire page.

Customer reviews
How reviews workWhat makes a helpful review
- What the event was, and for how many guests
- How it looked on the day — a photo says the most
- Delivery, setup and collection

Questions about this item
No questions yet. Ask anything — sizes, colours, how many you need for your guests, delivery to your area. We answer here, usually within a day.
How reviews work on Sherehe
- Every review is read by our team. We publish good and bad reviews alike — a low star rating is never a reason to hold one back.
- If we have not got to it, a review publishes by itself after 2 days — unless it contains a link, a phone number or words that need a look. Photos always wait for a person.
- Confirmed hire means we matched the review to a real Sherehe booking.
- If we ever correct a review — for example to remove a phone number — it says Edited by Sherehe.
- Nobody is paid or given a discount for a review. If that ever changes, the review will say so.
- Reviewers' contact details are never shown. Visitors can report anything that breaks these rules; reported items go back to our team.
Draped tent questions
How much is the draped 100-seater tent?
KSh 12,000 per tent for 24 hours, dressed, pitched and struck by our crew. Transport is added by distance.
What does the draping include?
Swags along the eaves, fabric round the poles and curtains at the sides, hung by our crew.
Can I choose the drape colour?
Send your colours with the date and we confirm which are free.
How many guests at tables?
About 60 by our planner; for 100 at tables, book two.
Can we move or adjust the tent after it is set up?
No — and this is the rule that causes real injuries when it is ignored. Once our crew has rigged and secured a tent, nobody may remove, loosen, reposition or interfere with the ropes, weights, anchors, poles or structural components. If something needs to change, call us and we will send someone. Before we install, please tell us about any underground electrical cables, water pipes, drainage, irrigation, gas lines or septic systems, because we anchor into the ground. Open flames, charcoal jikos, BBQ grills, unapproved heaters, fireworks and hot cooking equipment must not be placed against or inside a tent without our prior approval. We will stop installation, change a setup or dismantle equipment where continuing would create a serious safety risk.
Will the colours match the photos exactly?
Very closely, but we would rather be honest about the small print of physical materials. Fresh flowers are natural products and vary slightly in colour, size and shape between batches. Balloon shades vary a little between manufacturers and production runs. And colours on a phone or laptop screen are never a perfect match for the same colour in daylight — that one catches people out more than anything else. Custom designs also need a degree of creative interpretation. Where a particular flower, colour or décor item becomes unavailable we will propose an equivalent, and anything materially different we discuss with you first. For custom boards, signs and printing, please check the proof carefully — once you have approved it, an error in the approved information may cost extra to reproduce.
