Hi Wendy! My husband and I got married in May this year, and they did have the Beach BBQ party on the friday. It was our last night there and we used that instead of a welcome/farewell dinner at a restaurant. We had our photographer take some pictures on the beach (the sun is so beautiful at that time of day!) and everyone could easily mix and mingle. They started it off with a Sesame Street show, had a fire dancer, dancing contests where the crowd could get involved, ice sculptures, a tiki bar and TONS of food. It was lots of fun! Hope that helps Krista
