Kisekae ... I believe for the reception/dinner to be on the beach or at an outside grill you have to buy the Strawberry package, or higher. The Mint only provides for dinner in the banquet room. We definitely don't want inside a banquet room - although a lot of people prefer that because of the heat and bugs - depends on time of year tho, April shouldn't be too bad - we're looking at having an extended cocktail party on a rooftop terrace or something, then going to the disco. I'd check with your coordinator on what the options are if you don't want to upgrade to the Strawberry. Cathy
