On the beach, they bring the speakers out and the wedding coordinator will play and stop the music as you direct her to in the meeting a few days before your big day. Yes, after the ceremony, the hand out the champagne ASAP. There is no "dance floor" but there is tons of space for your guests to dance on the himitsu terrace. I think you do have to rent the speakers for $110 or something like that. There is a mic and the WC will pause the music for whoever wants to speak. Hope that helps. I just got back from my wedding last Monday. It was beautiful. And I agree with Nat... if possible book the bordeaux terrace, it's gorgeous and a little more private than himitsu, but they are all nice. El patio terrace is really small, and the people inside the restaurant can look out the window and see your reception. Any other questions, maybe I can help!
