Welcome & congratulations. It definitely depends on the resort, but from what I understand your reception can be whatever you want it to be! If you want a traditional one, you can do it. If you want to do something different, I'm sure you could do that too! For us, we will have to pay extra for things like music - it will vary by package though! You could choose to go with a DJ, or maybe you could just get some equipment and do your own music you like? For us, we will have alcohol included for the dinner portion, but if we choose to stay extra hours beyond the dinner, we will have to pay for the alcohol per hour after. Hope this helps a bit
