Zavaz Cocktail Terrace -
The options above are for a private reception where you will have to pay for everyone. If you would like to just use the dinner reservation that is included in your package, you can however, this will not be a private event. This dinner will be at the Spoon Restaurant which is the only restaurant that we have for this reservation. (see spoon restaurant pic from the site...haven't learnt how to attach!) Behind the curtain is a private area, the on site team tries to offer this to wedding couples. However, it is not always available to give. Please keep in mind that if you do have this private area, you will not be able to have your own music or lighting. If having a first dance together or the other customary dances, you must have a private reception and pay for each guest."
I'm confused....I thought we would be able to eat (for free) in the spoon restaurant for food and speeches etc, and then have our reception/party in one of the areas....have I clearly got that wrong
does that mean if I want to guarentee (sp) that we have some sort of area that we have to pay for everyone to eat again?
if we are forced to fork out those prices I think I'm going to cry ( we are having a big reception when we get back and thats already costing us an arm and a leg - there's no way we can afford to do both.
K. Yup, they make you have a private event. I had asked if I could eat in the spoon restaurant and then just hang out on the beach with music and we could just grab drinks from the bar. I was told that we could, but I would have to supply my own ipod docking station as they don't rent it out unless you are having a private event. pffttt.
I've decided that I'm just going to wing the whole thing lol. There's only 10 of us and I wanted something casual anyways. I think I'm going to do our first dance on the beach after the ceremony. Hopefully they won't charge me extra for that lol.
Katie - totally agree on the trip advisor thing. For me there are just too many unknown factors that go into people's reasoning in some of those reviews, which for me makes them inaccurate. gemwhite2b, try not to let those reviews get to you.... you'll end up driving yourself crazy!
