no that is perfectly fine!

we thought the same thing but after talking to a friend who is a bm who went to a dw last year and the y did not do a formal reception she said that she felt some sort of way dont get me wron she said it was fun but that they just did dinner at a restaurant it was not private then went to the bar also not private so she said it felt more like a big bach. party for both after so we decided to go with the reception and after our site visit we are sure we made the right choice we saw one wedding take place where we are going to hold our recp and it was amazing hope this helps!

Did the terrece look like the best place to have the reception? kristi... i my personal opinion, YES. the other possible reception sites are the garden, beach, indoor terrance, and outdoor terrance. THe garden is the area between the gazebo and the private tower pool. The only beach reception is held on the private tower beach [they used to have receptions on the main beach but ever since Hitmisu, the japanesse resturatant, went up they stop holding them there]. Apparently, they also used to have receptions in the SPA but that became an issue with guests entering the 'private rooms for massages', lol. Also, setup was difficult and was ruining the spa experience for non-wedding memebers since setup usually started around 6/7 and the spa didnt close till 8. That could however, be something that you and Claudia discuss and see what you can do. reasons why we picked the terrance- 1. the natural elements during dinner 2. there is an actually bar in the lobby --> not sure if a bar would be set-up on location or if wait staff would get drinks we wanted our guests to have the option to get it themselves 3. we are doing one long table... 35/40 guests.... saw pictures of these in terrace and really liked it/ 4. heels & such in grass or sand... ** one thing that might be negative about the terrance... it is afterall a lobby for the hotel. so there is foot traffic during your wedding. That is how i was able to capture some pics of the other wedding, i personally wouldnt mind it much, as long as people were respectful but thats something that should be taken into consideration hope this helps!
