We did not have a DJ. My husbands family is really musical, so althought we wanted to dance for a while, we knew once that was over, we would be moving to a different area and having a guitar sing-a-long. (which was a blast) We stationed ourselves in the large hut where the ice cream machine is (bottom of the main staircase from the lobby). Then the waiters would come down every 15 minutes take drink orders from the Mojoito lounge, head up get the drinks and bring them back to us.

 

As for music: we had prepped playlists on our Ipod. We have a dinner 1, dinner 2, dancing 1, dancing 2, first dance, etc. We rented the amp system ($250 I think), which included speakers, and a mic (we had a lot of speeches and I wanted to make sure everyone could hear.). The resort had a staff member running the amp system. He would set the Ipod to playlist dinner (example) and then when our MC or other guests went up to speak, the staff member faded the music. Once the speech was over he faded the music back on. It was great (and unexpected).

 

And if anyone is wondering, the resort offers the amp system for your ceremony NO CHARGE. So you can have music on an Ipod to play for your ceremony and a mic, so that all your guests hear your nuptials.

 

Hope that helps.

Melissa - your wedding was beautiful! Love your dress!

 

Rachel - I'm getting married on May 19th!!  When are you arriving at AS??  We will have to have a celebration cocktail together!

Hi!!! We are arriving on the 13th so i have plenty of time to work it all out. Were having a really small wedding compared to yours theres only a total of 6 of us!! Love to meet up for a cocktail or two!! Our wedding colours are lime green and hot pink, all our beach towels are matching pink and green so you should spot us out Rachel x

Hi ladies,

 

So now that I have my date, and my place...I am still contemplating whether or not I should have a "private reception"  I really wanted the first dance, and feeling of the dinner being in honor of us.  I will probably have about 35-40 guests  (so far ).  What are everyone's plans in terms of after the ceremony?

 

We are having the sky deck at 4:00 and I haven't decided on anything else. 

  HELP!

MrsKG2B did you figure out a wedding photographer?

 

janaahb, it's ok- you'll figure it out! First I'd suggest working out whether a private reception works with your budget. Then prioritize what aspects of your wedding are an absolute must, nice to have, would be okay if skipped, etc.

I am having a cocktail party after my ceremony and before dinner for my guests while we take pictures, but only because my TA got it for us for free as she is a GI consultant.  I have heard of brides not organizing a set event after the ceremony, and that works out fine as well because you're at an AI so people will find their own ways to be entertained/relax.

Having seen other semi private weddings and having had a private of my own I would say totally go for the private. Plaza Zavaz is amazing. You don't need to worry about renting a dance floor, etc. Its your wedding and it should totally feel like you're the most important people!

 

Something to think about.
