I am currently in the process of booking a venue. I am going for the rustic feel. I found a barn that I am in love with except it only holds around 180 people. So far my guest list is about 220. I could cut it down to 200 but there is no way I can get it down any lower then that. It was suggested to me that I rent a tent and to have extra space. However, I am not sure if it would work or if my guest would even enjoy going back and forth from a the tent to the barn. They would not be far from each other at all. I was considering having the meal in the tent and the dancing and alcohol in the barn. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know of any weddings that have done something similar to what I am considering and did it work out?
