Im having my reception in the ballroom, partially bc we have about 85-90 people coming, and also we dont want to be limited on how late we can party. when we were there for our site visit in june, we saw a reception in the ballroom. its def not dark in there. they do have overhead lighting, and there are optional additions, like lights under each table ($25/table) and overhead colored lights (i think it was like $250, dont remember exactly)... as far as how big, they have like 4 rooms with dividers, and depending on how many poeple you have, they give u the appropriate number of rooms... as far as decorations, thats a personal choice.. you can make it as simple or as fancy as you want, but i would minimally get the chair covers and bows (the bows can be reused from the ceremony, so u dont get charged twice...).. if u have any other questions, let me know :-)

hey everyone im starting to work on my invitations.. and im thinking of the best way to go about doing the response cards... the box that goes with the bottles is 7 x 2 x 2.. dunno if that would work with response cards? or do i need to just get a bigger box?? if anyone has any idea.. please help! michelle

If so, how does that work for people who are only coming in for a few days? Are they stuck eating at a buffet? Someone help please!! dreams is actually great with this.. no reservations needed, and you can eat wherever u want.. the most we waited for anything was maybe an hour, and even then it wasnt a big deal , we just had drinks at the bar... :-)

Lets chat my fellow bridezillas ~ lol i have heard amazing things about this resort... we had a tough time picking a place.. we were lookign for a lot of things... our wedding is in january, so we were weather limitied... flying out to antigua is gonna be expensive.. we are flying from ccancun to antigua with a layover... and then from antigua back home with a layover.. we are staying in a beachfront villa with pool and hot tub.. we wanted something more private and very romantic, and after all the great things we heard, we finally chose it.. it is going to be pricey, but hey.. only honeymoon once!
