I was hoping there was a way we could just all sit together at one of the restaurants and have dinner together the evening of the ceremony. If we could have music, that would be great too. You can do that! I am a Beaches bride and we are opting out of the $75 per person reception. I can not fathom paying $75 per person when its an all inclusive. I just cant. And reading past brides reviews and knowing past brides of sandals and beaches they opted to do the free reception and all go to dinner together and everything worked out amazing. I never heard one bad thing. You can also upgrade to the extended cocktail hour for $25 per person. With appetizers and open bar. I think you have a lot of options. My one close friend got married at beaches and they went to eat at a restaurant after and the wait staff put them in their own secluded section on the patio and they said it was fab!
