I was married at this resort in January of 2012 (feels like forever ago!). We honestly didn't spend much on our wedding at all. We went with the free package and only had to pay $320 for our wedding. That included the minister fees, extra people at dinner, and a boutineer and bouquet for our wedding party. We went with the semi private dinner as it was included free. We also chose not to do the steel drum band rather we used music from this man-http://www.steeldrummusic.net/buycds.html I just couldnt bring myself to spend hundreds of dollars on it when I could purchase his music for under $10. I did get my hair and makeup done at the spa at the resort and in total it came to just under $160 and I felt they did a really good job. I used an outside photographer, Merrick Cousley, but at that time they didn't have the outragous $800 vendor fee. I'm sure though if your photographer is a paying guest at the resort they can't really make you pay a vendor fee. I know some previous brides have gotten around this. We didnt pay to have a dance after our dinner. We had a fairly small group (18 in total) and didn't feel it was worth it to spend money on that for a small group, and I'm really glad we didn't. After our dinner we went to the pool side bar where they set up chairs and tables beside the pool bar and they had great music. We were the only ones there so we had our own little dance party. After that we went to the disco. We had so much fun and drinks right at our fingertips, I'm glad we didn't pay the extra money to have a private dance.
