| - This was my second marriage and I loved how easy it was doing everything via email. We paid about $7000 (with the upgrades we chose for the wedding and the reception). There were 25 of us total and had the wedding in the Silver Chapel with the reception following in the Vista Suite.
The Wedding: The flowers were absolutely gorgeous! The bouquets were so much bigger and prettier than I could have imagined! The package came with a medium bouquet and I couldn't believe how much bigger it was than I expected. They literally almost took my breath away when they were brought into the room. The dressing room was a fun place to hang out in while were nervously waiting to walk the aisle. The coordinators even let us open our complementary bottle of champagne and brought us glasses. The minister was a pro and made quick changes to our personalized vows and orchestrated them (almost) perfectly. The wedding coordinators were attentive and very professional. The chapel was really pretty on it's own but we added the runner with rose petals with floating candles option. It was $250 extra but it was beautiful.
Bonuses: They let us check in early to The Vista Suite so that we could move everything in and I could get ready there with my girls.
The day before the wedding, a limo takes you to get your marriage license (even though our package didn't mention a limo or even transportation on the website). When we returned to the limo from the courthouse, there was a complementary rose and a chilled bottle of champagne waiting. Very nice touch!
Danielle recommended OneLuvAgency (oneluvbridal.com) for hair and make-up. They came right to the Suite and did an excellent job.
Two downfalls: First, the wedding coordinator, Danielle, that I had emailed with for months ahead of time did not contact us once after our arrival at the hotel and was not available for our wedding. We never met her or spoke with her. This surprised me and disappointed me but the other girls did a great job of making sure we were taken care of. Don't expect to have your coordinator at your wedding...but Danielle did do a wonderful job making sure it was all exactly what I wanted. She was also very good at returning emails, answering questions, and making changes.
Second, The pictures were good, but definitely not great. The pictures you get seem more like proofs. One was so off center that I ordered it again when I got home and they sent it off center again. Odd. They really try to push you to buy more pictures the day after the wedding, but I'd wait and order them online after you've had time to think about what you really want. You get about 2 months to view and order...but the shipping and handling fees are kind of outrageous.
The In Suite Reception: EXCELLENT!! The food was excellent, the bartender was awesome, and the room was gorgeous. They say 2 hours but we didn't realize when we booked the reception that we actually get to keep the Suite for the whole night! The bartender just leaves after 2 hours and they clean up the food. We got to keep partying!! They were so nice and left us beer and wine because they could see that we weren't ready to stop. They also started to clear food and then asked if we wanted it left because there was still so much left. It was a really good time!
One downfall: I wanted to add appetizer's to my food choice and had to go through Group Dining. 50 small appetizer pieces was $300 extra. Sound crazy, I know but I was willing to pay that. Then they tried to add $150 handling fee. Ummm...wtf? I managed to get them to drop that to $50 but still thought $350 for 25 spring rolls and 25 little crackers with some crab salad (yummy crab salad, btw) was crazy.
Oh yeah...The cake was SOOO pretty and it was the best tasting cake I've ever had! White cake with chocolate mousse filling and butter cream frosting. Yum. They cover all of that with fondant to make it spectacular, but it comes off really easy for those that don't like it.
I can't imagine a Vegas Wedding being more perfect for what we had in mind...beautiful, elegant, organized, and frickin fun!!
