I'm hoping I can get some opinions on where to have my reception for a late June 2012 wedding for 30-50 people. I know it's going to be hot so I'm wondering if the festival terrace is going to be too uncomfortably warm for eating and dancing? Maybe I should switch to the Bamboo Room? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks so much!

MrsMom - I plan to have a welcome cocktail party in an area of the lobby. But I won't be setting that up with the wedding coordinator until I have to email back that planning form (at least 45 days advance) or until I get down there. Through reading some of the posts on this thread, I THINK that it doesn't cost extra, as they'll just block off a section of the lobby as a private party and a bar is right there for guests to go to. If you wanted appetizers set up, then that's where the cost will be.

I plan to just use the resort photographer (fingers crossed) but plan to ask Ana for some photos before I make a final decision (unless someone has done so already on this thread and can forward them on to me). I do want tons of photos so going with an outside photographer might be my best bet. I have seen in another thread recently that even though you can't switch the photographer out with something else, they have been able to use the photographer to capture photos for their welcome reception/dinner/get together. Perhaps that would be a good option for you to take. You'll still be using their photographer as part of the package, just for a different night. Good luck!

MJKH - your ring is fantastic! Congrats!
