We are in the procees of looking at reception venues for our summer wedding. I really love the idea of having an outdoor wedding in the summer, but I was just talking to FI about it yesterday and he suggested having the ceremony outdoors and an indoor reception, because he is worried about the heat at that time of year (we are looking at either the end of July or the beginning of August). At about half of the places we are scheduled to look at, the reception would be held in a tent outdoors. I really like the idea of a tented reception but is he right to be worried about the heat? We would be having a late afternoon/ early evening wedding with a dinner reception, but he thinks the heat at that time of summer would be too much to expect people to dance and be dressed up. Does anyone have experience with this? I have never been to a tented recption.
