Walker Festzeltvermietung

A tent rental firm in Tamins, Graubünden

Walker Festzeltvermietung is a tent rental business with its office at Obergasse 28 in Tamins, in the canton of Graubünden. The site, which trades under the short name Fewa, names Michael Walker at the office address. It rents festival tents, party tents, VIP tents, pointed tents and folding tents, along with stages, table-and-bench sets, banquet furniture and wooden floors. The homepage lists weddings among the events it serves, together with parties, garden parties, family celebrations and banquets.

The welcome text is short and says what the company wants to be for its customers: "wir stehen Ihnen in beratender Funktion sowie für die Ausführung jederzeit zur Verfügung" (we are available at any time in an advisory role and for the execution). It adds that the company would be glad to help with the preparations well ahead of the event and welcomes a no-obligation inquiry ("unverbindliche Anfrage"). For a couple this means the same people advise on the tent and then put it up, rather than a rental firm that drops off parts and leaves.

The tents

The navigation of the site lists five tent types: Festzelt (festival tent), Partyzelt (party tent), VIP Zelt, Spitzzelt (pointed tent) and Faltzelt (folding tent). The homepage features three of them, the Spitzzelt, the Festzelt and the VIP Zelt, each with its own page.

The homepage's general tent text is the most useful part for a wedding. It says Walker tents adapt to the customer's wishes, "Von der Fussbodenkonstruktion, der Innenausstattung bis hin zu Beheizung und Toillettenwagen" (from the floor construction and the interior fittings through to heating and toilet trailers), and that a wide range of accessories keeps the event running without problems. Floor, interior, heating and toilets are exactly the four things that decide whether a tent on a field feels like a room or like a campsite, and all four are on offer here.

The site gives no sizes or guest capacities for the individual tent types. A couple should send the guest count and the location with the first inquiry and ask which tent the company recommends.

Furniture and floors

The accessories section is specific. Folding tables and benches come for 8 people each in 2.20 m x 60 cm and 2.20 m x 80 cm, and for 20 people each in 5 m x 50 cm. For a seated wedding dinner, the banquet seating ("Bankettbestuhlung") includes round tables for 8 to 10 people each, 1.6 m in diameter, and rectangular tables for 8 people each, 2.20 m x 80 cm. Wooden floors are available on request.

That gives a couple a way to plan before calling. A dinner on round tables and a long-table dinner on benches need quite different floor areas, and the choice changes the look of the whole tent: round banquet tables read as a formal wedding dinner, while the long benches read as a village festival. The site offers both, and a separate "Bestuhlung" (seating) page sits in the menu.

Stages

Walker also rents stages. The site says its stage and staircase system is hard to beat for flexibility in size and design, and that stairs and railings can be placed at any point. For a wedding with a band, speeches or a ceremony that needs a raised platform, the stage is available from the same supplier as the tent. The same section describes the company as the problem solver for halls and tents wherever sudden space needs arise, naming large events, presentations, exhibitions, construction covers, storage halls and sales halls. That is a reminder that weddings are one part of a broader events and construction-cover business.

How to book

The contact page lists the office phone 081 641 23 55, a mobile number 079 461 32 33 and the email festzelte@fewa.ch. An order form ("Bestellformular") asks for first and last name, phone, email, the rental date, the number of people, the location of the event and a message. The number of guests and the location are the two facts the company needs to propose a tent, so a couple should have both ready. The message field is the place for everything else the tent pages mention: whether the site needs a wooden floor, whether heating is wanted for the evening, whether toilet trailers are needed because the location has no building nearby, and whether a stage should be quoted too. Asking for all of it in one message gets a single quote for the complete setup rather than a tent price that grows later. The site also has a gallery, a short film and a separate page for the warehouse address ("Lageradresse").

Language and access

The site is in German only, with no English version. The form is simple enough to fill in with a translation tool, but a couple planning from abroad should ask in the first message whether the planning conversation can be held in English. The site does not describe its service area; with the office in Tamins, a couple planning a wedding elsewhere in Graubünden or beyond should ask whether the company delivers there and what transport costs.

What the site leaves open

There are no prices anywhere on the site: not for the tents, the stages, the furniture or the floors. No guest capacities are given for the tents, and no dimensions beyond the furniture sizes. The site does not say how far ahead a summer weekend should be booked, whether heating and toilet trailers are the company's own stock or brought in, whether setup and dismantling are included, or what deposit and cancellation terms apply. These are the questions for the first call.

Who it suits

Walker Festzeltvermietung suits a couple planning a tent wedding in Graubünden who want one supplier for the tent, the floor, the heating, the toilets, the stage and the furniture, and who like the idea of an advisor who also does the build. The published furniture sizes help with a first seating plan. It suits less well a couple who want to compare published prices or capacities online, or who need a supplier with an English-language website: everything beyond the furniture list has to be asked.
