I finally talked to the consultant at Coco Reef after several rounds of phone tag. The prices were actually more expensive than I was expecting, but the savings come from not having an additional set up charge on top of the rental, not needing to rent a tent because the terrace is already covered if we need to move the ceremony, and not needing to pay an additional rental fee for the ceremony location on top of the reception location. The max they can accommodate for a sit down meal is 150 people. With the buffet luncheons starting at $55 a head, I can't afford to sit everyone down for lunch, so it will have to be a cocktail reception, which might make us able to have more people if needed, as we could only have a few tables for the older people and standing/mingling for everyone else. We would have to finish by 4pm to make way for them to set up for dinner.
I think if we still wanted to do our intimate dinner later, we would choose Lido for that part only. It's not that far away, and at least I know that we like the food at Lido.
I'm going to email the consultant at Coco Reef to see if I can do a site visit today. They won't have their menus confirmed until next week, but to be honest, I'm sure any canapes will be fine. If I like it, I can go ahead and book our venues, which will make me so happy!
