Weddings in Las Vegas

Hi all,

Hoping someone can give me some guidance, I (well, we...) are thinking about getting married at one of the hotels on Las Vegas Strip, we went there on holiday a couple of years ago and now the time has come for a wedding and we are considering these hotels may just do the trick.

Anyway, it is at the moment a choice between The Bellagio or The Venetian....

Any tips anybody?

Also, we have three neices and nephews between us who will all be under 5 at the time we propose to get married, how is Vegas for kids???

Thanks - looking forward to any responses

Weddings in Las Vegas

just a quick word about Bellegio, they do not bend at all on outside vendors. So if you%26#39;d like to hire a photographer, or bring in your own flowers or cake etc it%26#39;s a complete no go. Everything has to be ';bellegio standard';. If you love what they have and want to pay the hefty $$$, than your all set! :)

I%26#39;ve heard nothing about the Venetian, most weddings I%26#39;ve reviewed/read about there took place not in the chapel but out on the street/promenade or in a gondola. lol

Both chapels are older world style, I suppose upscale/stiff looking, as you%26#39;ve probably seen from pictures/videos on the websites. Not my style but many love it. If that%26#39;s your type of decor, I would suggest checking out PARIS as well, they%26#39;re abit cheaper and the chapels are wee bit prettier, imo. (but still the same style)

If your looking for complete modern, Mandalay Bay %26amp; Wynn are the top 2 with brides. Again not frugal at all for the 12 minutes you%26#39;ll spend there but they are nice.

Kids, hmm. do a search up top, you%26#39;ll find many many threads with tips/advice/opinions on kids in Vegas.

Congrats on your wedding!

My only suggestion is to verify with your family

about the children. A lot of people whoop it up

when they first hear...';wedding in Vegas'; - but

unless your family has more than average cash it

can be a real burden on them financially to bring

the kids beside the money they will already be

paying for flight, hotel and food. Not cheap.

Even if they leave the kids home...who do they stay

with?? etc. One parent might decide to stay home

and you don%26#39;t want that either.

And if money is no object than go for it!

GOOD LUCK

I would definitely recommend checking out Mandalay Bay%26#39;s wedding service as well. I was peaking in and it looks gorgeous!

I am getting married in April and I looked at all possibilties for weddings. I found the hotel chapels very expensive for what you get. After extensive research I have opted for a wedding in a Chapel off the strip. Again after extensive research I opted for Chapel of Flowers, they had excellent reviews in numerous forums and I also know someone who got married there and they too recommended. Have a look at their website.

Good luck with your organising. P.S sorry can%26#39;t offer advice about children. We decided no children felt journey too far.

I hate to say this but the Venitian is WORSE when it comes to outside vendors. Even when the client works for the hotel, they want every dime spent ';IN HOUSE'; with house vendors. Great places you are considering...but not at all like the old Vegas. Corporate-town now baby!

hi there - congratulations! We got married on the Bellagio Terrace overlooking their lake and fountains just over a year ago and it was wonderful. The fountains play for you at the end of the ceremony and it was really lovely. It doesn%26#39;t have to cost a fortune either - their cheapest package in the chapel costs $1500 (around 拢750) and this gets you your minister, music, flowers and photography. Our wedding coordinator was very helpful - and as we%26#39;re from the UK too that was important - and it was all pretty effortless.

Vegas is not set up for kids, but there were 5 under 16s in our wedding party and they enjoyed the hotel pool, Grand Canyon and rides at the Stratosphere. For kids under 5 the parents may want to look at Circus Circus.

Whatever you decide to do, have a great time.

We were married at the Venetian 5 years ago on a bridge overlooking the canal. It was lovely and the staff was very, very helpful. I cannot recommend it enough for your special day. I used their photographer, minister, florist, etc. and was very happy. I had hair and make up done at their salon-Canyon Ranch, and I used a restaurant in their facility-Zefferino for my reception. Wonderful experience.

According to the site%26#39;s own description, the $1500 Bellagio package includes only videography. Any actual photography is optional.

We were married at PH last August, it was way beyond our expectations. The reason we chose this was it was originally The Aladdin where Elvis married Priscilla.
