How to Choose the Right Spot
Guest Count – Start with your final head-count. Anything over 120 guests usually steers couples to Macao Plaza or the Ballroom.
Footwear & Accessibility – Elderly guests or high-heel lovers may prefer the Sky Terrace or Ballroom foyer.
Package Fit – The complimentary Wedding in Paradise (10 pax) works best at the Beach Gazebo; Beyond Memorable (79 pax) is priced around US $10,899 and suits Plaza, Ballroom or Garden venues.
Curfew & Noise – Outdoor music must end by 10 p.m. and bistro-string lighting is mandatory for evening receptions.
Weather Plan – December–April is dry; May–Nov sees brief rain showers. The resort always blocks an indoor ballroom as Plan B at no extra cost.
