| - We were married here May 20, 2011 and are very pleased with the service and venue. We chose the Intimate Mix ceremony at the chapel, followed by a reception for 40 at MIX nightclub upstairs. The ceremony was simple, but very nice. Just what we wanted. We added an isle runner and rose petals and these stand up vases at each row. The minister was fantastic. I don't remember his name, but he did a great job. Flowers for the bridesmaid and for the groomsmen's lapels all looked great. Photographer was good, but all business...fine with us since we just wanted to get to our reception (pics turned out nice).
The reception was fantastic. the hand-passed finger foods (mini grilled cheese, brie, chicken satay, beef skewers, macaroni, and sliders) were all delicious, as was the cake. Most of our guests commented how tasty the food was and that is was the best tasting wedding cake they have ever ate. Drinks were great and served by two waitresses promptly...very pleased with that. Two hours of drinks AND gratuity was included in the package so we didn't really have to worry about a huge bill at the end of the night. I was kind of worried that there was no music playing for the two hours we had our area reserved, but it turned out better since people were able to chat. About 10pm the music kicked in and our wedding group hit the dance floor with the other patrons in the club. The view at MIX is awesome.
If you and your future wife/husband are looking for a casual but still classy ceremony and reception where you can party and have a good time and not worry about all the minutia and stress of wedding planning I would highly recommend Mandalay Bay. It wasn't "cheesy" like most Vegas weddings seem to be.
Happy to say that every aspect of our wedding here actually exceeded our expectations!
