Ten miles up SR-46
Sorrento is the closest city we serve after Apopka — about 10 road miles up SR-46 from the shop on Breezy Meadow Road — and it is ideal tent country. Rural acreage, equestrian properties, barn venues and the Red Tail golf community near Mount Plymouth all have the open ground a full tent, table and chair setup wants, without the fences and pool decks that complicate suburban yards. Sorrento gets our flat $59 delivery and the shortest delivery windows of any city outside Apopka.
What people book here
Backyard weddings and family reunions on acreage are the signature Sorrento order: a 20×40 or 40×40 high peak tent in an open field, ten to fifteen 60-inch rounds, a hundred chairs, a dark walnut dance floor and tent lighting, because the nearest streetlight is a long way off. Graduation parties and barn celebrations run a size down — a 20×20, fifty folding chairs and 8-foot tables. Red Tail and Heathrow Country Estates homes book the more formal padded-chair setups.
Open fields, long drives and wind
Open ground means wind. We stake deep in Sorrento’s sandy soil and add ratchet lines to anything 20×40 and larger as standard, and we set the tent so the open field is not funneling the afternoon breeze straight through it. Long unpaved drives are common — tell us at booking and we send the right truck and plan the approach so the crew is not backing a trailer down a sand track in the dark.
Permits
Sorrento is unincorporated Lake County. Tents up to 900 square feet are exempt from the Florida Fire Prevention Code; tents over 900 square feet or with any side 30 feet or longer need a Lake County permit and a fire-protection review, which we prepare and schedule around. Barn venues that host the public may have their own event permit through the county’s Special Event process — ask the venue and we will match whatever window they are given.
A realistic Sorrento wedding order
For 100 guests on acreage: a 40×40 high peak tent, thirteen 60-inch rounds with floor-length linens, a hundred padded resin chairs, a 16×16 dance floor, 40×40 tent lighting, a skirted bar and a couple of extension cords from the add-ons list. Every price is on the catalog pages; delivery to Sorrento is the flat $59.
