I have no idea if I am posting this in the right place but I need some help! I have booked the Iberostar Rose Hall for March 2013, and am using a travel agent/planner. My understanding from all of my paperwork is that we need at least 40 people for a private reception. We will probably have 25-30. We of course still want our first dance and a DJ but have been told they will not accommodate that without a private reception/dinner. Am I missing something here? Surely there is a workaround that is not occurring to me or my planner.
