We used the resort photographer and didn't have much time after the ceremony for pictures, he did them at the gazebo and the beach right behind. Luckily we had 3 people with us that are hobby photographers that are amazing and did more for us!!! It would be worth asking if that's where you really want your pictures. We also had the unforgettable package and opted for the band to play at our dinner since we had 2 hours!! All of my guests really enjoyed while they were being seated and ordering dinner there was music!!!! As for our cocktail hour we just had tables in the lobby bar set aside for us, cause some of my guests went to change before dinner since it was raining!!! Also we just paid for the minimum bar and we ended up getting a fully stocked bar which was nice!!!!
