I agree AnnMarie, I met a bride who was married there in October, and she planned everything on site. She said it was easier than working with Monica in Miami. So I think the answer to your question is yes. Hopefully one of the brides who was recently married at the resort will chime in. And yes, a lot of it sales. I doubt VERY seriously if you say "I want a private reception" to the coordinator on-site that they will deny you. Just my thoughts...
