Hello all!! So my fiancé and I got engaged in May and the planning process has officially begun! We are going to look at our first reception/ceremony site this Friday and I already know it is the perfect location. We are planning a fall wedding and it is a new venue at a historic site in the kettle moraine in western Sheboygan county. It is a beautiful rustic building and fits our vision completely. I haven't even seen the inside and I'm already in love. Although I fear I am setting myself up for heartbreak. I started compiling our guest list and it is quite larger than I expected. The main seating area inside for the reception only will fit 172 guests at tables. That leaves roughly 100!! There is seating available outside as well, but it will be a fall evening and we all know how chilly that can be in Wisconsin, not to mention I don't want to be rude and separate my guests. A large tent outside could be an option for dinner but my mother is opposed to the idea as she has witnessed a muddy tent disaster. I hate to pass up on what would be a beautiful location. I simply don't want to settle and regret it. What are you're thoughts? Is it rude to separate guests outside from the main dining area? What about a tent? Thank you so much!!
