Worried my venue is too bright??

So long story short, I fell in love with my venue because of the brick walls, wooden floors/beams, and all the beautiful windows.

So long story short, I fell in love with my venue because of the brick walls, wooden floors/beams, and all the beautiful windows. I'm having a garden-esque wedding so just picture it with lots of lush greenery everywhere.

Except...my parents went to a wedding this past weekend at my venue, and I told them to tell me everything about it when they got back. Everything they told me was great except they mentioned that not many people danced while they were there (although they did leave early at around 9pm). I asked them if the DJ was bad and they said that he was "decent", but it was more that the room was very bright from all the windows and it didn't give off a dancing type of atmosphere.

Now I'm worried!! I want everyone to be dancing at my wedding! My wedding will be August 11, 2018 and the sun usually sets around 8pm where I'm at in August. So the room won't actually get DARK until around then. Is this a problem?

I'll attach pictures in the comments:

    Your venue is very beautiful! That's where a good DJ comes in.

    8pm should not be a problem. If your wedding is an evening wedding I would assume most people will be finishing their dinner and a few drinks around this time. If you think it might be a problem then maybe some drapery along with the greenery will darken the space?
