How to host a small wedding reception under a tent in LA, California?
I’m planning a small wedding reception in my backyard in LA, but I’m not sure how to make it cozy yet protected from sun or light rain. I’ve seen some friends use tents, but I wonder how practical they really are for a few dozen guests. Has anyone hosted a small wedding under a tent here and can share tips or stories?

I actually helped my cousin set up a backyard wedding under a stretch tent in LA last year, and it was surprisingly smooth. The key was choosing the right size so everyone had enough space to mingle, eat, and dance without feeling cramped. I checked dimensions stretch tents ahead of time to plan table arrangements and lighting. Also, lightweight but sturdy side panels helped with light wind. Guests loved the intimate, open-air vibe, and cleanup was easier than I expected.
