Bell Trans A+: We booked them to pick us up at the airport upon arrival. The driver was at baggage claim with our sign, grabbed our luggage off the carousel, had coronas in the limo and we arrived at our hotel in no time. We also used them as our service for guests going from chapel to reception. They arrived on time without issue. What I really liked about them was they sent me confirmation 24hrs in advance, sent an email when the limos were dispatched as well as a confirmation email once the trip was complete.
Desert Glamour A++: Whitney arrived on time with her assistant. They both work diligently to get hair and make up completed for me and my bridesmaids. She also did tattoo cover up on us. I loved my hair and make up as well as my girls. I sent her pics of how I wanted my hair and make up to look and she was dead on. My girls gave her free range (I wasn't particular with how they wanted to be styled) to be creative and she did a wonderful job. My sister even commented that her hair for my wedding was better than her own. I loved that she also threw in free eyelashes for both girls. I thought we all looked so glamourous. She started at 1pm and was completed by 3:30pm.
Chapel of the Flowers A: From the moment we arrived they made it extremely easy. The process of checking in and speaking with the pastor lasted about 10 minutes and then they discussed everyone's entrance. The ceremony went just as we wanted (short and sweet). The pastor suited our personality to a tee and made us feel relaxed (we were nervous as hell). Afterwards the photographers guided us through poses and different areas of the chapel grounds. Unfortunately, they wanted to schedule our photo viewing for Monday but we were already going to be back in Jersey. We have our viewing this Friday via the internet and can't wait to see how they turned out.
DJ Godzilla A++++: I can't say enough about Calvin. He not only did a great job MC'ing the entire reception he was amazing at keeping the dance floor full. Everyone loved his music choices and he had no problem taking requests from our guests. Very professional I wish he wasn't so far from Jersey so I could use him at our local reception.
The Orleans A++++++++: The Stardust Suite is AMAZING. They dropped the key off to our room around 11am to allow us in to set up and decorate for our 7pm reception. Everything in the room was perfect. The bartender was great, she kept up with our heavy drinking crowd. She was friendly to everyone and my guest really enjoyed hanging at the bar and talking with her. The food incredible. Four days later and guests still tell us the food was so so good. We went with the Orleans Buffet, chicken, fish and steak. There was tons of food. No one went hungry for sure. Along with the main entrees they provided a vast selection of sides and two different salads. In addition the dessert table was set up with various pastry items. I loved the fact that my guests were able to have a little of everything and able to go up for seconds if they wanted. I also liked that they had two gentlemen working the reception to pick up plates, trash, keep the buffet looking clean, etc. It was so nice to not have to explain all the food items to the guests since the Orleans had someone there to do this. We stayed in the Presidential Suite the night of the wedding. It as huge. There is a door that is to the far side (away from the balcony) that connects the Stardust with the Presidential suite. We kept the door open most of the night to allow guests to enter our room and hang out. We had the bar in there stocked with beer, champagne and vodka and it was great to just get away from the music and crowd every now and then just to take it down a notch.
All-in-all this was the most fascinating day of our lives. We couldn't of been happier with how each vendor presented themselves. Our guests were amazed that we pulled off planning a Vegas wedding from so far away. Truley an amazing experience and perfect city to celebrate. The next morning I asked if we could do it again.
And they lived happily ever after...
