Help! Planning a Las Vegas Wedding. ?

Question

We are planning to get married in the a huge suite in June. We wanted to plug the money into the room vs plugging the money into a wedding package. This room has floor to ceiling windows and our wedding will be a dusk. then we will be off to dinner and partying the rest of the night.

My dilemma is now I need help because we want to have a few drinks in our room for our guests, as well as some hor dourves. I think most hotels have rules regarding having drinks and food brought in. We are planning about 50 people for an hour or two up in the room.

Also,has anyone had any experience with a "traveling minister" who does hotel room weddings? I do not want Elvis, or some traveling hoochie mama performing the wedding. I have some websites saved, but if anyone has had some experience, please let me know.

Thanks.....(and any other advise, perhaps something I'm forgetting??)

Answer 1

My daughter got married at Mandalay Bay.  It was a package deal and included the chapel, honeymoon suite, cake, flowers, candles, minister, video of the ceremony, tons of fabulous pictures, your music or theirs, dinner, breakfast in bed, champagne......Pretty much everything but the dress and tux!  It was very elegant, organized, efficient.  She got the most expensive package (platinum) and it was only about $2000.  The packages start at about $600.  You can customize each package the way you want.  I know it's not exactly what you were planning but we couldn't have been happier.  All we had to do was show up.  They took care of everything and it was first class all the way.  It sure took the stress out of all the planning and coordinating.  The flowers were gorgeous and the pictures were fantastic.  Look at their website to see all the different packages and what is included.  They have pictures of the chapels, flowers and cakes.  You have many options to chose from.  After the ceremony we all had dinner at House of Blues and then went out on the town!  It was great fun!

Congratulations and good luck with your wedding.  You'll look beautiful!

Check out the packages at the Venetian, too. We're doing the Ceremonia Sul' Aqua, the gondola ceremony;

Answer 5

I think you'd get the biggest "bang for your buck" if you went with a wedding package.

I got married at the Flamingo, and included in the package was a gorgeous honeymoon suite with floor to ceiling windows.

I've heard good things about Rev. Phil.

You write:  I think most hotels have rules regarding having drinks and food brought in.

So contact the hotel.  I am sure they can handle the catering for you.  

If you want to have the wedding in their suite, then you must follow their rules.  No choice there, really.  Just call and ask what the rules are.  It may be easier than you think.

Have you ordered a cake?
