Our wedding came and went to fast but it was such a wonderful day!

Excalibur:B
We stayed at the Excalibur sat/sun before the wedding to save money. While there is nothing fancy or special about this hotel it was clean and we didn't have any problems. Also the pool was nicer then theNyNy.

Harmony MUA:A+
She was amazing! I had asked her to change up my eyes from what we had done in our trial and it was sooo much more then I could have imagined! She did some shading(contouring) on my jaw line and my hair was perfect. I cant so enough about how great she was

Tyler Freear:A
Tyler has been great to work with from the beginning. He showed up on time and got right to work! We did so many different poses and natural ones as well and he has such a great artistic eye.

The Grove:D+
Ugh! The only reason im not giving them an F- is because their grounds are beautiful! To start Sherry the florist was such a pain to deal with. It would take forever to get a response from her via email(I even had to call my coordinator so she could call her cell!!) and my flowers didn't really come out the way I wanted.( not a huge deal just a little disappointed)

when my Husband(eeek) arrived everyone was sitting in the orchard( we were supposed to be in the gazebo) and the arch was missing along with the table that go inside the gazebo! My husband and our friend had to set everything up themselves and Zina our coordinator gave them a hard time about taking the HORRIBLE red flowers off of the arch.(she also wanted to charge us for using the arch and table). She was no help at all and we were running late because of her mistakes.

Trevi:A
We had a group of 27 for dinner, The food and service were both great.

Cosmopolitan wrap around Suite:A+++
I was a bit worried about booking here because of problems other people have run into with them but we had a great experience! We were to check in the day of the wedding but I had to get ready in the suite so we called ahead and they let us check in at 10:) They even upgraded us to a premium view.

Cupcakery:A+++
We had cupcakes and they were amazing!! Everyone loved them and wanted more(luckily we ordered 20 extra hehe)

Belltrans limo:C
They were ontime but had brought a black limo instead of white and tried to charge me $40 more(good thing i brought my reference number)

Thank you! We had about 27 people in the suite and I think that was a perfect number, with the terrace there was plenty of space

Congratulations!!!!! Although your day did not go perfectly you are now married!

I was so looking forward to your reviews of the Grove, and now I am plain scared! My wedding is there in September. I haven't had to deal with the florist yet, but I'm not looking forward to it based upon what you've said. I am having my wedding and reception there and paid an extra $200 for the gazebo, if they even think of trying to put me back in the back garden I will LOOSE it.

This is really making me wonder if I should rethink the Grove?

vegasgroom · June 2012

Sorry to hear about the Grove issues but congrats none the less!

jesannnne · June 2012

CONGRATULATIONS!! I stopped by The Grove but my HUSBAND and I didn't like it for the fact that the lady didn't even know we were coming when I made the appt with her assistant 1 week prior to our arrival!

and I totally agree with you and The Cupcakery!!

petitmonstree · June 2012

Congrats! I'm sorry to hear about the problems at the grove and with the limo. Glad everything else went well though!

AustralianSam · June 2012

Hi, we are looking at the Cosmopolatin Wrap Around Terrace, how many people did you have there (27?)? We are thinking about 30 - 40.. do you think they will fit??? Didnt realise there was a "premium view" so will be making sure I ask for that when I book!

The grounds are beautiful! But they are very unorganized and every time I called or went in for my final details they asked me about 5 times what my name was! When my husband told her to look at our contract again(about where the ceremony was supposed to be held) she picked up the paper and said she must have read it wrong.( I think she just didn't want to bring the arch, table, and chairs back in the gazebo) My husband and friend did most of it while she complained!

I hope this was just a one time incident, while there were problems I just brushed it off and had an amazing heart felt ceremony.

yes, we did have around 27 people but I do think it would be pretty tight with 30 to 40 unless you have at least 10 people minimum on the terrace the whole time.( it is definitely big enough for more then 10 people).You might want to consider the Mandalay Bay, If we had more guests that would have been our top pick.

Thanks for the reviews esp. Cosmo. I'm a little worried about booking there after reading all the negative reviews. I'm now leaning towards Hotel32 loft suite. Still undecided but glad you had a good experience.

Marfoot · June 2012

Congratulations!
We did the cupcakery as well and they are sooooo good!
