Hi Happiegerl,
I'm not sure where you're getting your price list from which might clarify some of these issues. The hotel quoted me $1200 for the largest LED dance floor that they have - I think it is also listed at that rate in the DJ Encore package that was provided.
Chairs are provided for ceremony and reception - and I think they're actually nice, just might need a chair sash on them. If you want to get chairs from the decoration company because you don't want to use the hotel provided ones (which, by the way, are brand new as the resort is brand new so they're in almost mint condition) then there is a fee for that.
I haven't looked into the quality of the photographer yet but I thought their prices were in line with others.
All in all, I think the pricing is about the same as other resorts but that the resort is of really high quality.
Hope that helps!
Gwen
