Thank you so much for the reply! I really appreciate it! :-) Ultimately, I really would like the reception to be outside. I just don't think I want it directly on the beach. I know Dreams has the option of having your reception on the "pool deck", but I haven't come across this option w Now. I've noticed people saying the terrace gets pretty warm, so I was thinking out in the open would ideal. I wonder if they do receptions set up pool side? I'm a bit more confident w the DJ idea thanks to your recommendation. I think I will go for it! Maybe I can finagle a "free" DJ too, as I will be flying out our photographer also. Great suggestion, thank you! I'm so excited, I just can't stand it! 9 1/2 months to go... WooHoo ;-)

Anyone do a site tour and see Now Jade too? If so, what were the reasons u choose Dreams? I am so torn... I need to stop being so indecisive and choose already! Lol. Can anyone please help?

I spent most of last night reading through this thread. I am just so happy to have found BDW.com!! This will surely keep me from stressing out I am a newbie to this site, so forgive me if this was answered already. Is there anyone out there that has already stayed at Now Jade that could recommend their favorite reception spot? Anyone have or seen one that they didn't like? I am so torn and having not been to the resort yet, I am really left to imagine based on professional pictures. I know they are usually at the best angle to showcase the high points, but the reality is sometimes not as great. Originally, I thought I would love it to be outside. I am hearing comments about the beach having bugs and being too windy. Has anyone seen or had a reception on the pool deck (not even sure if that is an option, as all I see is the "beach"... I assume that is literally in the sand)? Also, any feedback on opting for a DJ vs just taking the party to the club or bar in the resort? I am estimating to have about 32-40 people. Most of them are a lively bunch, but I don't know if it ends up awkward w such a small group compared to a standard wedding in the states with hundreds. You know... where barely anyone is dancing. Does the DJ do a good job getting the excitement going or would I be just as happy with my iPod and their sound system. Thanks everyone in advance!! My head is spinning with all the options

Wow, what a great site! I am so excited to have this resource, you all are so helpful! I just confirmed my wedding date with Now Jade for April 25,2013! Let the planing begin
