My husband and I met in Vegas four years ago and for that reason, wanted to get married there. We sought a beautiful, outdoor experience and Scenic Las Vegas Weddings (SLVW) came up in our online search. I was pleased with my experience from A to Z:
The first step for the April Wedding was to call Melissa to fully understand all the options and make an educated choice. I will forever be a fan of Melissa (and her husband Trey too!) We went with the Lake Mead Sunset wedding - perfect choice.
The deposit and overall cost were reasonable, and the email that Melissa initially sent was full of information, pointers, suggestions for vendors, wedding documents, etc. All you have to do is read the email carefully, follow the instructions, and you will have the most STRESS FREE, enjoyable and beautiful wedding. It's all done for you.
I had seen some reviews that gave me pause, only to discover the common thread with those reviews was that the party showed up late to their own weddings. That's not SLVW's problem. Simple solution people: book your driver 30 minutes earlier than suggested just to be sure you're there in the event there's traffic or someone in your party throws a wrench in the game plan).
We used one of Melissa's suggested vendors for the transportation (Vegas Limo Coach) and were thrilled with the result.
Even though I had not met Melissa (our officiant) prior to the wedding, her vows were very heartfelt and we had indicated ahead of time we wanted to insert our own vows. She gave us all the time we needed, and it added that special touch.
Melissa and her photographer (for our wedding it was Trey, who was so thoughtful and clearly cared about our photos) spent more time with us than I think was guaranteed, which really brought joy to my family. *Note we did a Sunset wedding at the end of the day. I had indicated ahead of time in emails what types of photos I wanted (i.e. parents only photo, siblings only photo, entire party photo, all the combos I desired) and Trey got it all, and he got it GOOD. All angles, different lighting, different moods, different locations - I felt very well covered and on top of it all, my photos arrived within one week of ordering them, using the standard method. My video was also uploaded to the website the next day. If you're like me and are picky about angles, let the photographer know that too. They will work with you without any attitude.
We kept the party bus and took it to the strip for dinner: The Verandah at Four Seasons, another WINNER. HIGHLY SUGGESTED!!!! We were able to add another hour onto the reservation so that the bus would also take everyone back to the hotel (Hilton Lake Las Vegas - yet ANOTHER WINNER!!! Awesome staff and location.)
The take away to this review is really this: I felt cared for and celebrated by SLVW, my emails leading up to and following the wedding were answered, the location was all that and more, and the preparations were simple. I have memories that are positive and my family all had a great time.
