Hello Everyone.. Just got engaged on Saturday and decided to have our wedding in Vegas on 12.12.12. followed by our reception in NJ a few months later.
I posted earlier but thought I should at least introduce myself and ask how this site works.
I love that I can speak to other brides and grooms and get first hand help. To me, that is the best way.
I wanted to get married in the Grand Canyon as it has great sentiment for us but thought maybe to go there for our honeymoon...and have the vows in vegas since some of our family and friends may attend.
We would like to have it affordable yet decent and memorable and something that our family/friends will really enjoy too since they are flying out.
Not sure if we should do it in a hotel or any special unique place.. I'm so new at this and SO VERY CLUELESS...
I really appreciate any help, tips, suggestions, dos and donts.. anything..
your fellow excited bride.
Karen
Re: Vegas 12.12.12.. I'm new here show me the ropes
If you read the bios in people's signatures, several have very good suggestions about various venues and vendors. There is also a "sticky" at the top which links to the various vendor reviews that people have posted.
I haven't made our bio yet, but we are doing the ceremony at Chapel of the Flowers and an in suite reception at Aria. We chose COF for the reason that we wanted an intimate place for the ceremony where our family and close friends could attend. The in suite reception is a nice, affordable, option for a celebration afterwards.
Hope that helps some and welcome again!
Well this is the best place to be because we all give and try to help the best we can. All the knotties on here are wonderful! Advice and help is everything here.
First off, CONGRATS! I bet you are super excited, its a really great experience planning your wedding. I actually moved to Cali from NJ 7months ago and my wedding is in Vegas
You can check out the Chapel of the Flowers for the Grand Canyon and Vegas wedding. they have a special package for that and they are GREATTTT to work with and have everything you need.
Hope you enjoy the next couple of months!
Have you figured out your budget yet? That would help as we give you suggestions.
BTW, I was a COF bride and we had a wonderful experience. Remember 12-12-12 will probably be a popular date, so don't wait too long to book a place.
Happy planning!
Congrats and welcome.
First step in figuring out what your budget is and how many guests you are going to have. Once you get that figured out we can give you better suggestions.

We got engaged on 12-2-11 and thought 12-12-12 would be a great day! I don't know where to start planning either,, my first question is what is COF?
