| - I have so many things to say about the experience of getting married, I don't even know where to start!!!
When my fella and I decided to get married in Vegas, it was because it's a fun city where there's a lot to do, a million places to stay, and a lot of options for the trim level of our wedding.
Originally we thought it'd be like 30 friends.
Ha! We had 30 friends over for Thanksgiving.
We booked our March 1 ceremony back in September, thinking 30 people. We figured we'd get married, hit a buffet and then the strip. Then we started telling people about the wedding.
Guest list goes from 30-50 to 80-120 within weeks. East Coast family wants to fly out and join us. LA friends can't wait. Even my good friend who lives in Maui wanted to come!
It's great to be loved! But we needed to get real. And we needed to get a reception venue. So I yelped and I emailed around. I got some quotes that would be reasonable to most brides... but seemed totally out of scale in my mind. You can buy a car with $16,000... and a wedding is just a party.
Sunset Gardens came with lots of yelp love, and a totally lovable price tag which was only the tiniest smidge out of our range.. close enough to make room. The pictures were beautiful, and Tony, the coordinator, took really great care of me!
I didn't have to do a damn thing. In my opinion, that's exactly how it should be! We talked over some options for linens by phone, the menu, the cake, all the details were totally seamless and easy. I'm sure I could have made it difficult if I tried- or if I were indecisive, but hey, I'm simple. I just want vanilla cake and prime rib.
The week before the wedding, I decided I wanted to have a candy buffet. So I ran around town, bought all this fun glass ware second hand, went to Jack's wholesale candy (review to follow) and called Tony. "Should I make a diagram? how big is the table you'd use for this?
Tony says "How ever you want it to be. Whatever you need, I've got it."
Best answer ever.
I dropped our stuff off the day before the wedding, and I was honestly blown away by how awesome the place is. I mean it, it's tear-to-your-eye beautiful!
Everything was totally seamless- the DJ was cool, the bartenders took good care of everyone, wait staff was friendly, food was good, cake was good too, even my crazy candy buffet looked beautiful!
We ended up with right around 80 people, and the Sunset room was the perfect amount of space.Everyone had a great time, and honestly, I could not have had a better experience for my wedding.
