Colorado Tents and Events

What Colorado Tents and Events does

Colorado Tents and Events (CTE) is a privately held event rental company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Silverthorne, Colorado. The company rents event infrastructure and décor — including tents, tables, chairs, linens, china/glassware/flatware, lounge furniture, dance floors, A/V and tradeshow equipment, concessions, food and beverage items, and wedding accessories — to couples, corporate event organizers, and festival producers across Colorado's central Rocky Mountain region (Breckenridge, Vail, Keystone, Dillon, Frisco, Beaver Creek, Steamboat Springs, Aspen, Crested Butte, and surrounding communities). Operations are run from a single warehouse at 230 Warren Avenue in Silverthorne, with delivery, setup, and teardown services bundled into each rental order; customers can also pick up and return items directly to reduce cost.

The business operates a sales-led, event-driven go-to-market model in which each client is paired with a dedicated sales manager from quote through event completion. The company maintains preferred-vendor relationships with marquee mountain venues — including Keystone Resort, Lodge at Breckenridge, Donovan Pavilion, Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch, Four Eagle Ranch, and Piney River Ranch — and drives top-of-funnel demand through a real-wedding blog and active social profiles on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and X. Revenue is generated per event through equipment rental transaction fees plus delivery/setup professional services; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Mark Ciernia serves as owner and President. The company is independently and privately held with no institutional investment, funding rounds, or acquisition activity on record, and it has operated continuously for over 20 years under consistent ownership. It received The Knot Best of Weddings recognition in 2019.
