How it works

01

Listen

Tell us about your event. Even if you are not sure what you need, we ask the right questions about your guest count, space, and vision.

02

Plan

We put together layout recommendations, product suggestions, and a detailed quote. For bigger events, we create free CAD drawings so you can see the setup before the day.

03

Deliver

Our crew arrives before your event, handles the full install, and comes back after to break it all down — so you can spend your time with your guests.

Our flagship service

Tent rentals

We carry pole tents, frame tents, high peak tents, clear top tents, and festival booths, from 8-person setups to 500+ guest structures. Every tent includes professional setup and takedown and an onsite consultation.

Whether your event is on grass, concrete, or a patio, we have an anchoring method that works. Our crew handles all of it.

We have used Academy Rental numerous times for various events. Our latest was Hamilpalooza held in downtown Hamilton, Ohio. We needed a tent and stage for our band for the event. The guys showed up on time and got the tent up quickly. At the end of the event, they were there at the appointed time to take it down. No waiting and wondering if they were going to show up. The staff and crew at Academy are incredibly friendly and always willing to go above beyond to help us put on a great event!

We used Academy Rental for a large tent and tables&chairs for 75 people in June, 2024. It went perfectly as planned. The set-up and take-down crews were friendly and helpful! Would definitely use them again!

We used the Academy Rental Group for our son's high school graduation party at our home. It was SO easy to work with them. I simply provided our address and once we determined the size of tent our backyard could accommodate (through a quick Google Maps search!) Academy took it from there. We didn't lift a finger, and it was perfect. They even took care of calling out the utility companies to confirm the locations to spike the tent in the ground. We used them for the tent, tables, chairs and decorative lighting. So many people commented on how wonderful it looked. We will definitely use them again in the future.

Rented 20 chairs and two tables from Academy for our small backyard wedding reception and these folks couldn’t have been easier to work with. Incredible communication through email for quotes and payment from Tommy, and super easy pick up and drop off. 10/10 would rent again 🤘🏼

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How far ahead should I book my event rental order?

We recommend booking 4 to 6 weeks before your event. For May, June, or September — our busiest months — book 2 to 3 months out for the best selection. Weddings and large corporate events should book earlier. We can sometimes fill last-minute orders, but peak-season selection is limited.

What is included when I rent from Academy Rental Group?

Every rental includes delivery and pickup. Tents also include professional setup and takedown by our crew. Tables, chairs, and linens are delivered and picked up on your schedule, with optional setup and takedown if you prefer.

How do I figure out what size I need for my guest count?

Plan for about 10 square feet per guest for a seated event. A 20×20 tent fits about 32 guests with tables; a 40×60 fits around 192. Our staff helps you pick sizes based on your guest count and what goes under the tent.

Do you deliver outside of Cincinnati?

Yes. We deliver throughout Greater Cincinnati and the surrounding area, plus parts of Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana. Call (513) 772-1929 if you are not sure we reach your location.

Can I pick up rental items myself?

Yes. We have a customer pickup location at 116 Marion Road in Cincinnati. Smaller orders like tables, chairs, and linens can be picked up and returned by you. Tents and larger items need our crew for delivery and installation.

What if I need to change my order after I book?

That is not a problem. You can add items, remove items, or adjust quantities as your plans change. We ask for your final numbers at least one week before delivery so we can prepare everything.
