Melia Caribe Weddings - Private Reception or Restaurant Dinner

[kristiduhe1975]

Hi Ladies:

 

My wedding day is fastly approaching, and I am trying to decide on some details for that day. Have any of you had a private reception at the Melia? We have about 55 people booked so far and I am trying to figure out if I want the private reception or should I just have a dinner in one of the restaurants. I love the amphitheatre... It seems a little absurd to pay for a bartender for a private reception versus not having to with a dinner! Just my 2 cents... Does the resort work with you on pricing? Why should I have to pay for a bartender when the resort is all -inclusive? I would appreciate your opinions on this.

Congrats!!  You must be getting excited!!

 

One of my friends had the private reception and loved it.  It was in the Garden Gazebo.  She was very happy with how everything turned out.  I agree with you about the pricing that's why I decided to have mine (we're getting married there in April 2012) at one of the restaurants.
