Luckily their group was kinda small, less than 25 people I think so this worked well! Dance floor setup.. I think each one of those tiles is 4x4 or 5x5, cant remember. Total space of 10x10ish, lets say. Again, i think the globes were hanging a tad too low, for the tall people they were bumping heads with them a little. Another scene setter back across the resort, just for a piece of mind to know what the night views look like ok, hope that helps with your visualization. More images from Matt & Margaret's TTD here SALUDOS, mateo

Ohhhhh thanks - very pretty. I would love to use the Seaside Grill as a reception venue. Just not sure if our group is going to be small enough.

Are you paying extra to have your welcome dinner in the closed down restaurant?

[lilly129]

Princess - yes we're paying for a private event - we're doing the Caribbean buffet and the Caribbean trio for the welcome dinner and I don't remember the cost, but it's the same as the per person cost of the wedding reception. ($32 per person maybe?)

Does having the reception in one of the closed down restaurants cost extra? Seaside Grill looks great, we're having less than 25...maybe pool deck/terrace could be plan b?

I'm really intrested in getting these also. Can I ask how much she charges? Thanks!

I got an email from her that I can send you..but I believe two color maracas start at $4 then add $.25 for names, $.25 for date, and $.25 for location. So about 4.75 each, unless you want more detail to it. Then she has adorable tags that say "shake at the kiss" ( I am sure those are extra). They will ship right to the resort also. I really love them.
