Outdoor Venue- to tent or not to tent???

Hi everyone!

After looking at a head-spinning number of venues, my FI and I think we found one in our price point that also has the feel we are going for.  It is outdoors and rustic AND you can bring in your own food and alcohol!! 

The problem is whether or not to tent the reception.  The venue said some opt to and others do it out in the pretty open space.  I spoke with multiple rental companies and to tent the space starts at $1600 and goes UP! (walls, fans, a/c, lighting, floor,etc)  One place says you can take the chance and then if the forecast predicts rain, get the tent a few days prior.  But, that can only happen if there are some available still. 

My question is: should I get the tent no matter what, wait and see what the forecast is the week of and hope they have one available, or pick another venue?

Has anyone had any experience here??

Thanks!!!!!
