11-12-11 Wedding Review Mr. & Mrs. Sanchez <3

So I was the most stressed as I ever could have been but it was amazing!

Excalibur Hotel     A+
We wanted an inexpensive hotel to stay out for the week of the wedding. Most of our family stayed at this hotel. It was perfect. I have no complaints about this hotel whatsoever. The casino is right below, resturants, the bus pick up is right outside, it connects to other hotels, and has the tram to take you to the luxor, and mandalay bay!

Double Decker Bus      A+
So they squeezed us in the night before the wedding (11/11/11). Two hour bus tour. I totally forgot to buy liqour so they were soooo very kind to take us to the liquor store. We had music blasting, everyone was on top we were all jumping on the roof it was a blast! EVERYONE enjoyed it. I forgot her name but the drivers assistant was amazing! We went up and down the strip and it was perfect! No complaints!

Chapel of The Flowers      A
The way they take care of you is beyond amazing! The guitarist played the music I wanted lovely! My flowers turned out great. As for the single stem and my bridal party flowers were ehhh, OK. They weren't great. We got the pictures two days later and i love them! Everyone thee is so helpful! The reason why I am giving it just a A is because on top of playing so much they give you envelopes with reccommended minimum amounts for the minister and everyone else. The minister donation was min. $60. I found that to be alittle TOO much for the fact we paid over $3,000 for pictures, flowers, limo, and the ceremony itself. Besides that they are a beautiful chapel. Elegant !

Mandalay Bay Vista Suite - A+++
I had no problem at alll for music, or anything! They event let me bring all the decor and liquor a day before and they stored it for us! The room fit everyone perfectly! We had about 40people. No complaints here!

RAG Photography - A++
So I found him on craigslist and was very iffy on how he would of been. He was amazing !!!! Very friendly and creative guys. He told us poses and where to take pictures. He is such a good guy and amazingly priced. If you are looking for a photographer, he is the one! He trying to start a famiy owned business and so far he has my review!!!!

Cana Lily Catering - A+
I was never able to find a review about this catering company so i was scared but it turned out perfect. I thought it wasnt enough food when it came but it was more then enough and delicous!!!!!! Also she brought the cake and it was exactly what i wanted!!!


I dont think I am missing anything else but hope this helps you knotties =)

    Congratulations!! So you bought the Vista room for one night only?? Did you stay there the one night then move back to The Exaliber?? I am asking because I am looking into in-room reception rooms now, and am considering Mandalay Bay-Vista Suite.  I read some reviews that it was a pain in the butt to switch rooms....was it for you???
    Thank you for the review!! I appreciate it!! How much was the photographer and catering???

    Thank you! And yes vista suite for one night only and worked out perfectly ! We stayed there that one night packed up and moved back to the excalibur but we had the room in the excalibur for a week so we didnt have to lug everything around. It was not a pain at all as long as you have someone to help you. my father and husband did everything!

    Photogrpher was 250 for upto 6 hrs and all photos on a disc ! he is amazing check him out!

    The caterer was about 1250 for 40 people dinner and aps and the cake!
