| - I was here for my cousin's wedding, so my review will only be about my experience with the wedding chapel from the point of view of a participant, and not with the planning part of the business.
First off, within Mandalay Bay, it is a bit confusing as to where the wedding chapel actually is. We followed signs inside the hotel, but after a while, the signs disappeared. You would think that on the other signs we saw on the way, they would also mention the wedding chapel, but they were not there. Most of the signs were in reference to the different meeting rooms at the convention center up ahead. At least the storefront was clearly marked, so we didn't miss it.
Once we got in, it was pretty much like a business office to me. There was a front receptionist, who I assume would have directed us to the right room, but she was busy on the phone, but then I saw my aunt and uncle walk out, and they directed me instead.
All the different rooms were clearly marked as if they were conference rooms... "Bride's quarters", "Groom's quarters", etc.
The main room was pretty small, and could probably accommodate about 40-50 people comfortably. Since the room was so short, when the bride walked in, it lasted under a minute for her to make it to the front.
The entire session lasted less than 30 minutes, and the photography session afterwards lasted about the same amount of time as the ceremony.
Overall, if you want to get married quickly, but done with style and class, this would not be a bad place to do that. For me, maybe I'm too narcissistic, but holding a wedding in Vegas would mean that the attention is off of me, and is more about the guests being in Vegas.
