Not sure if the guests would like the sand everywhere, and the wind might be strong, the weather might be bad, mosquitoes..etc. We don't really appreciate a lot of strangers standing around watching either. Ballroom is a little more formal and classy. More private too, along with AC that I am sure everyone would appreciate under such warm weather. But it lacks the whole "tropical, beach and ocean" feel that only nature has to offer. Good thing about indoor venue is we get to have the party going for longer and there are less variations that I need to worry about. Did all these when through your head when you were trying to decide? What venues are you guys going for and why? hey, I am from the dominican republic and i can honestly say its hooooooot out there!!! i went to a wedding in punta cana and they has the reception indoors. I was so grateful for that. everyone enjoyed the AC. I think that getting married outdoors and partying indoors is best for me and my group lol. I also like the more private feel. hope i helped a little
