Hi Jenn!
The free dinner reception included the bar tender and drinks as well as the buffet dinner. The plates, table clothes, chairs, napkins and centrepieces we had to pay for.. We didn't have to pay per person. You can choose the plates and table clothes you want off of creative punta cana catalogue or what we did was choose one of the dinner table themes (which was about $300) per table. The $300 per table included 8 chairs per table, plus table cloth, centre pieces, plates, napkins, napkin rings etc. We just went with the the ivory theme that hard rock offered bc it included all these things for $300, which meant less things for us to worry about. DJ was part of the free event only for the first 3 hours. We paid for the extra hours we wanted after the first 3 hours. There's so many extras you can get so we spent more than planned.... I believe we spent about $5000 before we went for the extras and not including photographer and videographer:)
Let me know if I answered your questions or if you need clarification! I'm more than glad to help out:)
Thanks,
Jamie
