Hi everyone! This is my first post on BDW, and I'm so thankful for all of the incredibly helpful commments! I am especially excited to learn more about Moon Dance Cliffs from all of you who have had your wedding there. The resort looks and sounds like perfection. That said, I have a few concerns that I'm hoping you all can help me address. We're expecting around 40-50 guests. 1. The average age of our guest list is around 28-30, and we expect our wedding to be a very fun party. Based on the reviews I have read to date though, it seems that this resort might "shut down" around 11pm. What do wedding parties do after this time to continue the celebration? We likely won't have the villas, so I'm curious to know more about the beverage and food situation after hours. Are there bars close to the resort? 2. For a wedding of our size, can anyone give me a ball-park for what we should expect to pay for the wedding? We'd love to have the live band option for our reception, and an amazing photographer - I plan on spending the most money on these two things, but could be wrong. 3. I'm a little concerned with keeping our guests occupied with activities on the days outside of our wedding. Are there activities on the resort? Is it an ordeal to get to/from the resort into a downtown shopping or excursion area? Thank you so much in advance for all your help!!
