| - My wife and I chose this hotel because it was the nicest one within our budget. We were not disappointed on the wedding day.
For a wedding and reception, you will interface with at least two people. A caterer and a wedding coordinator. Their jobs a very separate and the caterer cannot answer any questions regarding the ceremony, etc.
Ceremony - We were told to show at staggered times so we would not see each other. The groom's room had a mirror, half-bath, coffee table, couch and did not have hangers should want to hang your jacket. I hoped things would have been totally taken care of by the coordinator, but the best man had to find her and sort out the rings and ring bearer. We did not choose to have a rehearsal (it would have cost an additional $500), so maybe that would have alleviated some of the kinks. The ceremony was thankfully very quick, and very nice. The photographer worked very quickly, and seemed a bit impersonal but she took very nice pictures. She seemed to be in a rush, which made the post-ceremony glow difficult to bask in.
Reception - The DJ met us outside the reception hall and acted as the MC. He was very receptive to our wishes and always checked before moving on to another event during the reception. The food was incredible, and there was no chance of running out. The servers left food and cake at our (bride and groom) seats longer than other guests. It was clear that they understood we'd be distracted and need extra time to eat.
Preparations - This is where they earned a two star rating. We had to contact each employee multiple times for simple answers. When we got an answer we were often referred back to a packet that had never been sent, thus the planning took months, yes months, longer than it should have. An example... They asked my wife what color roses we wanted for everything, we chose red. About two months from the date we noticed we had not been charged for flower girls petals. This was odd, because it is Vegas and they charge for everything. When we asked about the petals we were told the girls would not throw petals. We asked why, and had to email back several times over the course of a week. Then were told because the flowers were red. That made no sense to us, so over the course of another week we tried to clarify what was going on. Eventually we got it out of them that the carpet was white and red flowers would stain it. So we switched to white petals (which took another week if pestering). It could have. All been avoided had they communicated better.
Overall wonderful ceremony and reception, but misery and pure frustration in preparation.
