Wait...I lied! This picture is actually right behind where the DJ set up and so it wouldn't block any view for people sitting on either side of the restaurant!

Is anyone having an informal welcome happy hour? 

 

I want to include this information in my welcome letter (which will be printer prior) and need to include location.  What would you recommend for location?

 

I am thinking Friday at 5:00/5:30?

 

I remember reading that if you mention it to Pilar she may be able to set up some chips and salsa at no charge.

We would like to do this as well. I haven't heard anything about chips and salsa though. We are going to have everyone meet at the lobby bar and pilar should be able to section off a small area for us. Ill be putting it in our brochure that we will send out prior to leaving. We originally were going to put it in our welcome letter, but decided that we are going to give our welcome bags at the gathering. We are choosing to do it at 8pm and word it something like "after dinner, meet us at the lobby bar for some mingling and cocktails." I just wanna make sure people eat before since we will not have food.

I am going to purchase the paper lanterns for our reception at the Bamboo Room.  Do you think I need to purchase the lights to go in them, or will they be ok with without the lights?  Also, is the uplighting in the Bamboo Room included?  I know I have seen it in pictures, I am just not sure if it is included or if its extra.  Thanks!!!

I know the DJ is offered at the resort but does anybody know if they allow external DJs? I would like to keep the live music for entertainment so I would need to hire my own DJ.

You have to pay an outside vendor fee, but you can hire your own.  From what I understand, there are no restrictions regarding the DJ.

I purchased lanterns, too... for cheap!  I am skipping the lights; I've seen pictures of them without the lights and they look just fine.  As far as the uplighting, I have no idea but I'm kind of interested to find out. It's probably extra, but I don't know how much it would be.
