Hello all!
I am a freshly engaged (May 6th!) future Las Vegas bride! I
have been stalking the boards for a while now, and like a lot of you, I have
millions of questions! I am amazed and impressed at all of the information I
have taken in! We are from out of town, and will be planning completely from
a distance (Eek!!).
We are looking at a wedding at the end of September, 2014 of no more than 50 people. After doing lots and lots of research, we really like the idea of the Gazebo Chapel at Flamingo’s, a Double Decker Bus tour and then Maggiano's for a dinner reception. It is exciting to start making these decisions, but I’m a bit terrified at all of the details!
One question (of about a million, lol) that I have is photography. I have been reading all of the sketchy Cashman Photography-like vendors, and I think I really want to avoid that! Who have people used as an alternative and how long did you use them for? I am not really interested in the getting ready photos, but would like ceremony, double decker bus and at least some of the reception photographed.
One more question! For anyone getting married at the Flamingo, how did you choose your package? I am not concerned about having extra flowers other than bouquets, and I definitely want outside photography. Any suggestions would be SO helpful!
I really appreciate all of the positive and constructive
comments on this board! It has made me really excited to get married in Las
Vegas!
Re: New Future Las Vegas Bride! :) (Photography and Flamingo Help)
Flamingo is very accommodating with outside vendors (at $150 each) so its really up to you and your budget how much you want to get through the flamingo and whether you go with external vendors.
If you are happy with flamingo flowers you should check out the lavender package or tulip package if you want their videography.
Im going on a scouting trip there in September so I will post pics and videos of the venues when I get up.

@missmo14 - Lol! that's hilarious. I swear that was not intentional.
Bently and Wilson seems like a no brainer now! Do they do videography as well? My mom always told me that is a have-to-have for a wedding, so I have to do it!
Thank you both so much! This board gets me seriously excited to get married in Vegas.
To do our strip tour photos they're prices are very affordable and have been great so far! I think flamingos prices are really good too as far as upgrading your floral choices
This will be while FI and I get our pics taken hopefully we will be able to join in to the last 15 minutes or so
