Ok, I am going to be lame, but I literally do not have a negative review for any of my vendors. I am shocked as well, but thanks to you ladies, I knew who to go to!!! I posted a small sampling of the Cashman pictures on our wedding website under Photo Album.

If you can, PLEASE look at them, because I am hoping to restore some faith in Cashman and the quality of work that they can do (see review below).
Wynn Wedding Salons-A+++
Kabbie was our wedding coordinator and she was fantastic!! Everything during the ceremony went off without a hitch. The flowers we ordered were beautiful, and I simply loved the rose and candle display they did for the alter area. The chapel itself is simple and beautiful, and I love that they have more cushy seating then a normal pew. Reverand Walter was fantastic as well and we had so many complements from our guest on what am amazing job he did. I would not have changed a thing! I also loved the webcasting option. For less than $100 they put your wedding on the web, and I can tell you we had at least 20 people watching it and we loved being able to have those who could not attend share in our moment. It is also up for 30 days, so if you have the option to do this, I would.
Cashman Photography-A+++
Our photographer was Emily, and she was so wonderful, and we were blown away by the pictures she took. She was kind, professional, and made me feel so comfortable. She was with us for 4 hours and took a ton of pictures. I really hope that brides take a look at some of the pics I posted (and these are literally only a handful) and get some confidence back with Cashman and their abilities. I know Cashman gets a bad rap on the boards, but keep in mind that every property has different photographers, and Steve Wynn is enough of a perfectionist to not let photographers on his property that can’t showcase it properly. We ended up buying the entire cd (with the copyrights) and although it was expensive, I have no regrets about it since we can now make as many copies as we want. I will also tell you that the pictures are so good that my dad couldn’t even stay in the room with us during our photo viewing because he was crying so much. I also loved the fact that not only did we have the entire cd the day after the wedding, but they also gave us a box of our entire album in 5 by 7s (all 485 pictures that Emily took!). It was just so great to show our friends and family literally the day we got back. Again, the Wynn may be the exception and not the norm, but if you are considering the Wynn as a place for your wedding, do not cross it off because of Cashman, I promise you will not be disappointed.
La Cave, the Wynn, Reception-A+++
This space is amazing, and Linda of the Wynn restaurant group was an absolute pleasure to work with through the entire process! We had the entire back room and patio, and with the weather being a perfect 74 degrees with a slight breeze, it could not have been more gorgeous. We ordered some rose vases and candles, and the space was so romantic and classy. We had open bar and heavy apps and an 8 piece dessert buffet. The food was amazing and so refined. We had horseradish crusted lamb chops, tomato fondue shrimp skewers, truffle chicken salad sandwiches, and various flatbread pizzas as well as a filet carving station (that came with to die for bacon cheddar rolls). The staff was also amazing. We had at least 6 servers and no one ever had an empty drink or plate. They were also nice enough to come up to me and my husband half way through and ask if they could prepare anything on the menu special for us. Again, I have not a negative thing to say and was blow away with how perfect the reception was.
Double Decker Bus Company-A+++
Many of our guests favorite part of the night. We had a 30 minute break between the reception and the bus, and the bus arrived at least 10 minutes early which was a plus. We dropped off drinks with them the day before and everything was all on ice ready to go. The staff on the bus was also amazing. My husband is very into music, so he dj’ let him dj’d the whole night through his ipod and the guests loved it. We went up and down the strip, and then guests had about 45 minutes to walk around Freemont St. too. Everyone loved it, and I cannot recommend this enough to brides, because it is both a very fun and budget friendly activity.
Jason’s Deli-A+++
We ordered a breakfast platter, sandwich platter, and fruit tray along with coffee for our suite for me and the bridesmaids the morning of the wedding. I called the afternoon before to place the order and they were on time the next morning dropping everything off. It is such a good idea to have food around, and my maids were very thankful to have food to snack on for the 4-6 hours that we were all getting ready.
Harmony Medina-A+++
What a sweetheart!! Not only is she an amazing hair and makeup artist, but she is so wonderful to talk with. She did not only my hair, but 4 bridesmaids, my mom and my future mother in law and sister in law. That is right 8 people. Also, although I had only scheduled her to do my makeup, my bridesmaids and mother in law loved mine so much, Harmony stayed and did their makeup as well. I can’t tell you how beautiful I felt that day. She completely transformed me. Also, if you have a chance, get the eyelashes!!! They really take your look to a whole other level, and for only an extra $50 bucks, they are such a steal. You can judge by the pics alone!
Wynn Hotel-A++ All I can say is class class class. The service at the hotel is amazing and we could not have asked for a better home base to host all of our guests. We ended up getting a very nice upgrade to a Parlor Suite in the Wynn Tower Suites upon check in. The suite was huge, with its own wet bar and fridge, living room, and three vanities in the bathroom. We loved being able to bring our guests here and actually had about 30 people up to the room after the bus and had no problem with security. We told the guard downstairs we just got married and were having guests up and he was very nice and gave us no problems at all. I think that if you are honest and courteous to security upfront they will do the same for you. Also I want to let all you girls know that if you do a little digging you can get really fantastic discounts on rooms. I was able to find codes for a Suite at the Encore for only $118 a night on Thurs and Sun, and $180 for Friday and Saturday. So, if you are patient you can stay here pretty economically. Pick Your Poison-A+++ Love these girls! So responsive, and our guests raved about these at the rehearsal dinner. We ordered 8 dozen of the mini-cupcake shots, including flavors like red wine velvet and car bomb and oreo and they were sooooo goood!! They even dropped them off at the Wynn for a $10 delivery fee, so it was not only tasty but convenient. Thank you ladies!!! Battista’s Hole in the Wall-A++ Our guests loved this place. All we had to do to reserve is call and make a reservation. No deposits. It was relaxed and really let our guests get to know eachother in a non-stuffy environment. We had about 45 people and although you dont get a private room, we took up enough space to where we pretty much had the whole room to ourselves anyways. I made menus myself, and guests had 15 options to choose from. The meal includes soup or salad, garlic bread, an entree, and then a cappuccino at the end. The staff was attentive, professional and efficient. There was never an empty carafe of wine on the table (which is FREE with your meal), and everyone loved the singing accordion play and the food. We loved it!
