Hi Nicole! I had the same dilemma! My ceremony is on sky deck at 6pm, cocktail hour on South bar terrace at 7pm then Dinner at 8pm on the North Bar Terrace. I also considered moving the cocktail hour, these were the reasons we decided not to: -$6 per person -$$ for lightening -$$ for Music on the Beach (PSAV or JSAV would have to move all their equipment and speakers etc) -The wind can be really strong, and the Bar Terraces are protected from the wind by the glass walls -Easier to keep all guests in one general area so the emcee can annouce for everyone to take their seats -Guests can keep their shoes on all night and now have sandy feet It was a hard decision bc i liked the idea of being closer to the ocean for part of the night. I am sure what ever you decide will be perfect! When is your wedding?
