Featured Vendor

MAC Photography has had the opportunity to work with some amazing wedding vendors over the years! In an effort to help out our couples we've decided once a month to feature a vendor who we think goes above and beyond the call of wedding duty:) This month we are featuring Sperry Tent here is their companies bio:
Sperry’s journey began in 1980 when accomplished sail-maker Steve Sperry was faced with the challenge of hosting a family gathering. Applying his creative eye and knowledge of fabrics, Steve hatched the plan to design the first ever Sperry Tent for the occasion. Using hand-sewn panels of waterproof sailcloth and hand-milled spruce pine for center poles and perimeter poles, Sperry Tents was born.
The same lightweight, waterproof sailcloth canvas has proven strong enough to stand up to the seas for decades. With sizes ranging from as large as a 66ft x 126ft oval tent to as small as a 16ft round tent, we aim to accommodate any event size. In addition to sailcloth tents, we offer an array of wedding and event amenities. Our versatile flooring options offer limitless potential for event ideas and venue locations. We also offer a wide variety of lighting options providing the signature Sperry glow of aesthetic ambiance and elegant décor. Our representatives work closely with clients throughout the entire booking and planning process to ensure satisfaction. Installation and breakdown appointments are fitted to work around your schedule, and an onsite attendant is always available at each event to answer any questions or offer suggestions.
We hope this helps you in your wedding decisions:)
