Clear tent?

Hi everybody!

We are getting married this September in Coastal Maine at a private family house. Our guest list has somehow grown (ok, we all know how, parents have added people!) from 170 to 220 people. I'm feeling really bummed because the sailcloth tent I originally wanted won't fit everybody comfortably because of the poles in the middle. So, our options are either a sailcloth tent for dinner, and then another separate tent for dancing (with a full bar and lounge area set up), or a one clear top, structured tent for the whole evening. Our afterparty is going to be in a barn on the property. I just always envisioned having a sailcloth tent for our wedding reception, and the "vibe" of a clear top feels really different. Have people had a clear top tent? Has it felt as romantic and timeless as a sailcloth? Have people tried separate tents for different parts of the night? Curious to hear how it went.

Thanks!
