Prepare for the Unexpected: The Importance of an Inclement Weather Option
Tents, Structures & FlooringPlanning an outdoor event comes with excitement and endless possibilities—but also uncertainty when it comes to the weather. At Select Event Group, we understand how important it is to have peace of mind knowing that your event will remain comfortable and protected, no matter what Mother Nature has in store. That’s why we offer a range of inclement weather option solutions, including sidewalls, walkway covers, and flooring, to ensure your guests stay dry and your event space remains functional in any conditions.
Flexible Options with the Inclement Weather Contract
Weather can be unpredictable, but your event planning doesn’t have to be. Our Inclement Weather Option (IWO) gives you the flexibility to make a final decision 72 hours before installation. This allows you to monitor forecasts and determine if additional coverage is necessary without committing upfront to the full cost of the equipment.
Rain in the forecast? Let’s get you covered — contact us here.
How It Works:
- Secure your inclement weather equipment with a non-refundable 50% deposit to reserve the necessary items and a spot on our crew’s schedule.
- 72 hours prior to installation, make your final decision. If you choose to proceed, the remaining 50% balance will be due at that time.
- If you decide not to move forward, you forfeit the deposit, but no further payment is required.

Staying in Touch During Severe Weather
While our inclement-weather solutions provide an added layer of protection, no setup is completely weatherproof. In cases of severe weather, our team remains in close communication with you to assess conditions and provide expert recommendations to ensure safety and minimize disruptions.


Be Prepared, No Matter the Forecast
Don’t let the weather dictate your event’s success. With Select Event Group’s inclement weather solutions, you can plan with confidence and adapt as needed. Contact us today to discuss your IWO options and ensure your event is covered—literally and figuratively!
