I've read some people saying they did their whole DW for $2,500. If you leave out reception, cocktail hour & dinner cost I think thats totally realistic. I'm just concerned the hotel won't let you just eat dinner like anyone else staying there would. Will someone please let me know how it works.

It depends on the resort. Most of the AI's that I saw allow you to have a reception dinner in their restuarant, but only for a certain number of guests before they force you to pay for a private reception. The Iberostar's have the number set at 8 guests included in the package price and then they charge you per person for each additional dinner. Other resorts will allow you to have 20-25 people in a restaurant before they charge per person for additional meals...

Our resort is really reasonable, they charge only $15.00/person extra to make your venue private. They also don't put a limit on the number of people you can have for the ai dinners as long as the guests are staying on the resort. I know one bride at our resort who didn't pay the money for the private dinner because she had so many people that they filled the restauraunt, so it was private for them anyway.
