Thanks for the info. I'll send you my email, and I'd love to see pictures! We are now deciding between Disco (which my fiance also said was dark) and the Tequila Bar on the oceanfront side. I'm also hoping I can talk them into providing house chips and salsa for the reception once the day arrives. If not, I suppose I'll just have one of my guests fill up some plates and bowls for us from the buffett and go that route! Considering our guests pay for the all-inclusive as well as the couple, the $$ per head for food doesn't make sense to me either! We're having 30-40, so hopefully our dinner area will end up being more private. I'm not too worried if not - I just want the reception to feel like a real wedding reception. I plan to bring/buy extra decor too.

The site WILL NOT let me start a new thread, so I'm going to try to comment here! Here was my thread: Hi everyone! My name is Traci, and I'm getting married at the Riu Santa Fe on 7/2/11! I'm having a hard time deciding what to do regarding the dinner/reception. I'd love some feedback and/or advice from past Riu brides! I had assumed we could use the dinner area at La Mision (the Mexican restaurant) for the reception too; however, I now know that we have to book a separate reception area. I don't mind paying for the extra area - I just don't want to pay an extra $16-20 a person for more food when we're getting a free dinner. How is the disco there? We wanted something outside, but this might be the most cost-effective choice (we're on a budget). We've been to this resort twice in the last year, but that's one place we never checked out. The other two choices are the Patio Ingles and Tequila Bar (but I think this is where the extra cost for food comes in)... Thanks for any help!! XOXO, Traci
