About Sperry Tents Southeast
Founded in 2018
Sperry Tents Southeast Values: What makes Sperry Tents Southeast different from other tent companies is that we prioritize what matters most, you, the customer. We guarantee this by providing our customers with the best products, for example, Sperry Tents (the only authentic sailcloth tent on the market), original handcrafted hardwood flooring and stages, finer details, and customer experience instead of volume. This means we take on a limited number of jobs to ensure this. Other companies focus mainly on volume, taking on 15 events per week, letting jobs slip through the cracks. You will work with multiple people throughout the process, and the sales rep is not on the job causing unnecessary confusion and wrongdoings. Our Sales Reps will be with you through the entire process, including the set-up and take-down of your job; nothing is left unfinished or without care! We look forward to speaking with you and creating your dream Wedding! Sperry Tents History: Sperry Tents is an authentic family-owned company. It began with Steve Sperry, a skilled sailmaker who began his career in the 1960s working at Hood Sailmakers under the famous Ted Hood. In the mid-1970s, Steve established Sperry Sails in Marion, Massachussetts, where he and one employee made sails and did custom canvas work for local sailors. Over the years that followed, Sperry Sails’ much-loved, colorful sun logo was often seen up and down the coast of New England and the Sperry Sails brand became known and respected among sailors. One weekend, Steve was going to a party and decided to try making a party tent. He had everything he required to hand: sailcloth, sewing machines, grommets, and nautical lines. He even created the wooden support poles at his own sawmill, where he milled the lumber to build his house. For an extra flourish, he sewed in a huge version of the Sperry Sails logo, put it in his truck, and went, unaware that he was starting a revolution in the world of event tents. From that day on, the “Sperry” tent became more and more popular, with many tents made by the sailmakers at Sperry Sails and rented to locals throughout southeastern New England. In the beginning, Steve and his crew invented a variety of unique and creative designs, including a ribbon, dragon, landscapes, and the signature navy sailcloth adorned with white stars (our “Blue Star” tent is still widely available today) – all of which made the tents stand out even more from the traditional striped canvas and white vinyl tents of that time. The Sperry Tents Story In 1996, Steve’s sons, Tim and Matt Sperry, returned from circumnavigating the globe on a 41-foot sailboat with three other friends. Tim joined his father’s company and established Sperry Tents as a separate rental entity. Meanwhile, Matt remained on the Sperry Sails side, working on sails and tents, and directing and enhancing the family’s signature fabric designs. Today, Tim Sperry is still president of Sperry Tents and leads the original office, Sperry Tents Marion. Meanwhile, Matt took over from his father as Sperry Sails president and launched a sister company Sperry Fabric Architecture, which manufactures every Sperry Tent along with custom fabric structures for commercial venues and private homes.
