Hi - I've been lurking here for a few months, reading every review and I have to thank everyone because of all the wonderful info provided getting through my checklist has been a piece of cake.
We went back and forth with ceremony location and reception - 1st thinking Chapel of the Flowers than leaning towards the Luxor Chapel for the ceremony, and Maggianos for the reception, than after reading other reviews we began to contemplate the Wynn for the ceremony location and Maggianos for the reception. So we went on our 1st scouting trip and we toured and tasted our way through the chapels and restaurant. Narrowing down our decision to COF and Maggianos. But we also got pretty lucky during our stay in Las Vegas as they were having a Bridal Show. Where we met the most wonderful event coordinator, Tara from Tommy Bahama Restaurant and Bar, yes apparently they do more than sell tropical island wear, well since we were a bit curious about this (I was imagining that the thought of even having our event at the restaurant was unrealistic) we decided to go and visit for dinner. What we saw was beyond anything I could have imagined, they have a private room for wedding/events. We were hooked, this matched FI & I in many ways, we could totally envision celebrating here with our family. We fell in love with the food and the atmosphere.
So here are the actual checks:
Ceremony / Reception – Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar
Officiant – Rev. Richard Walter
Florist – Roxi Florist (even though we would like to say that Robert @ Flowers of the field was very helpful)
Makeup/Hair – Francesca Lombardo
Tuxedos – Tuxedo Junction
Photographer – Bently & Wilson Photography
Elvis – Travis Allen
Tentative – Steel drum band
I can't wait!!!!!!!!
I'll post reviews after the wedding to share for future knotties.
