Mandalay Bay (H Suite) vs. MGM (Skyline Terrace)

Hi All,

I am seriously about to go crazy. I am currently booked for a ceremony in the chapel at MB with an in suite reception to follow in the H suite. I happen to come across a post about the MGM Skyline Terrace and I fell in love with it. I want to change my entire plan to include an in suite ceremony and in suite reception in the Skyline Terrace suite, however I have a few issues. There is a mix of different answers as far as bringing outside catering into the MGM. I have read some posts where brides say its not an issue and then I have received some feedback where people state they do not recommend MGM at all for outside catering. My other issue is I cannot afford to book the Skyline Terrace for the night before the ceremony. So without booking the night before I take the risk of checking in the suite on the same day of the ceremony actually a couple of hours before the ceremony. Not to mention if something crazy happens like they overbooked the suite, the suite isn't clean, etc. etc. then we wont have a place for the ceremony. So with that being said the only plan I came up with is to book the suite just one day which is the day of the ceremony, take my formal photos before the ceremony while my coordinator (my cousin) preps the suite for the ceremony, after the photos have the ceremony, head to dinner at one of the MGM restaurants (to avoid the whole issue with outside catering), then return back to the suite for the after party and drinks....PLEASE ALL FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!

  • Thank you!!! I love your carefree attitude!!!I think I am really overthinking this...I just need to book it and follow the plan...if it does not work perfectly then we can improvise from there!!!! Quick question what kind of food are you getting for the after party???

    The in-suite ceremony and reception sound great!  I had an in-suite reception in the Apex suite at Planet Hollywood and had the suite for 2 nights, the day before and the day of the wedding.  The problem I encountered was that I was not able to check in to the suite until 6:00 pm.  What time were you planning on having your ceremony?
  • We are going to do mostly stuff from Costco, some already put together and some we will put together at morning.

    A few of our ideas:
    Caprice skewers
    Marinated prwns
    Chips and a yummy salsa or maybe pico.
    Veggie tray

    My dad will probably bring some smoked salmon from home as well as some specialty meats (salami, and pepperoni)

  • Newly engaged MN resident- Vegas wedding. My family has been to vegas multiple times. I want a stress free, fun wedding with about 60 people. I have been agonizing over the in suite vs dinner vs locating a reception hall. MGM suite looks amazing! My hesitation is due to wanting some traditional ventures: first dance, father/daughter, and private jam outs for everyone. Has anyone been known to get a dj for an in room suite? I don't really want to fumble with being my own dj
  • I'm doing the mgm in october
