Hello Ladies!

in Nevada-Las Vegas
I'm sorry I don't have time to lurk or do much research, so I thought I'd just ask for input. My SIL lives in VA and wants to have her wedding in Vegas (maybe next April?). I live in CO, and have offered to help her plan and help with what I can. She's on a tight budget ($1500 I think?) and thinks it will be cheaper to do in Vegas (I don't get this reasoning, but whatever, it's her wedding) Any thoughts, advice would be greatly appreciated!

    What is she looking for? Just a ceremony? A ceremony and reception? What is her guest count like? What kinds of things is she looking to include...photos? Video? Etc... Once you have these things sorted out it'll be easier for the Knotties on here to suggest all kinds of places and packages for you and your sister. Congrats to her!

    You might want to start by checking out The Grove, The Grand Terrace, The Chapel of Flowers. I've heard good things from other brides on this forum. They have a range of packages that are $1500 and under. Most of the casino hotels will have packages that are cheaper....but probably won't include as much as the Vegas chapels will.

    To brainstorm ideas, check out the Vegas FAQ page and the Vegas Knottie bios. (Both links in my sig.) The bios are especially helpful for deciding what venues you like and don't like.Depending on the choices your friend makes, a Vegas wedding may or may not be more affordable than a local one. Personally, I felt like we got more bang for our buck in Vegas. We spent about as much as we would have locally but that included our honeymoon (which we wouldn't have gotten with a local wedding) and very fancy food and beverage which we definitely could not have afforded here.Hope this helps. Good luck to you and SIL! :-)

    Vegas can be cheaper, but only if you limit the guest count. Per person, my wedding is more expensive than a local one, but since it is a destination wedding we were able to only invite close friends and immediate family. If we had it at home, we would have been obligated to invite many more people. And we are staying for our honeymoon, so we only travel once. $1500 is definitely do-able, but would have to be very small if she's including a dinner or something afterward. Post your head count and general ideas and the ladies will help point you in the right direction.

    Thanks ladies! Once I get some answers from her I'll be back with more specific questions. I'm trying to get the point across to her to make some decisions now, I don't think she realizes everything that goes into a wedding. :o)
