Hola! I am getting married on November 20th at the El Dorado Royale. I was wondering if anyone out there opted not to have a private reception and just went to one of the bars on site. We are trying to keep a tight budget and thought it would be fun to have a private cocktail and appetizer party after the ceremony and then go to dinner and to the Guacamayas bar for their nightly entertainment. What worries me is that you don't know what the entertainment is going to be until the week of, so there may be karaoke, salsa dancing or a dj. Did anyone decide to go this route and would you do it again? Also, if anyone had the Mexican cocktail party with tacos and the donkey, please let me know how that was as well!
