I can't believe my day came and went without a single issue! It was so perfect. Now it's time for some reviews:
Fit For A Bride:
A+ I don't even know where to start. She got my dress three days before my wedding yet there she was (30 minutes early!!) last Saturday with my gown, veil, shoes and grooms tux. They were perfectly pressed and looked amazing. She was worth every penny and couldn't have been more friendly!
GlamSquad:
A+++++ I already posted about how wonderful they were. James, Aaron (who was gorgeous btw) were beyond fantastic. I pretty much gave them all the freedom to do what they thought was best for my hair and makeup. All I said is I wanted my hair up with my veil under my hair and my eyes to be the focus. I splurged on the airbrush (which if you have oily skin like I do, its the only way to go) and fake eye lashes. Worth every cent. When I saw the end result, I cried! James had to fix my makeup. I have never EVER felt so beautiful in my life. My FI was speechless when he saw me. The customer service and communication from Elise in the office was outstanding and I would suggest them to anyone!
Graceland Chapel:
A+ Couldn't have been more perfect. There were only 8 people total at my wedding so the small inimate chapel was just right. We only waited about 10 minutes for the ceremony to start and the limo showed up at our hotel right when he said he would. Our minister, who had a fabulous french accent, made the ceremony special. He added a bit of humor, some romance, and a some special Biblical quotes that make it traditional. It was everything I wanted. The photographer was so friendly and honestly, we didn't even know he was there until after the ceremony.
Maggianos:
A+ What else can I say that hasn't already been said? The food was better than I could imagined, the service...well every restaurant should strive to have that kind of service!
Treasure Island Hotel/Casino: Hotel
A+/Casino
B- I am rating these seperatly because it wouldn't be fair to judge the hotel based on the poor service at the casino. The hotel was better than I expected considering the rate we got for it. The beds were very comfortable, full sized pillows (which is becoming harder to find in hotels!), fresh sheets every day, fidge in the room, plenty of space and updated decor. I really couldn't find a flaw in the hotel room, except no microwave or coffee pot. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. Whenever we had questions on where to go, or for them to recommend a show/place to eat, they had great suggestions. I would suggest the hotel to anyone looking for a resonable place to stay in Vegas but still wanting a comfortable, friendly hotel. Very nice.
Now on to TI Casino...I gave the casino a B- because the variety of games and the atmosphere are very nice. It's not over croweded at all because it's laid out in a very user friendly way. While you can smoke anywhere down there, I never noticed it unless my husband or his mom was smoking. Now, my issue comes up with the service of the waitstaff. Or lack there of. My SIL, MIL and MOH were with me friday night and we stayed on the casino floor. We aren't club people. We were down there for 4 HOURS gambling and having a great time except I was only served 1 drink. I tried to flag down other servers only to be told "this isn't my area" or "I'll be right back." and then they disappeared into the great abyss. Four hours and 1 beer later, I finally had a break down at the rewards desk. I spoke to the Service Manager and had my one and only Bridezilla moment. It was my bachelorette party and I couldn't get a beer to save my life. (Ok, I get it probably was a stupid thing to get upset about). He felt sorry for me and provided me witha six pack of beer to take to my room because my party had given up and went to Walgreens across the street and got drinks there. Fast forward to Saturday night...after our wedding and dinner, we are all gambling in TI casino. My husband and his BM are getting served left and right, I'm sitting just down from him, within eye sight of the wait staff and IN MY WEDDING DRESS, yet I can't get them to stop for me. My husband finally ordered a beer for me and told the waitress to give it to me. She actually said to me "This is from that cute gentleman over there." Um...thanks, thats my husband! I guess my point of all of this is the waitstaff doesn't serve women. None of my girls or my mom ever got served unless they were standing next to a man. And I tipped for the two beers I got. $5 a piece thank you very much! So that wasnt' the issue. They just don't serve women. Even if you're in your wedding dress.
Anyway...there are my reviews!
