We can't decide

OK FI and I are trying to decied, our wedding is wednesday July 23, 2014.  Our ceremony is at Aria at 4:00.  Then dinner will be at Wicked spoon at 6:00. I am not sure how much time we should have allotted in between.  We want to give enough time to give enough time to get over there but we don't want people waiting around bored either.  Thoughts on the timing?  We have reservations for wicked spoon for two hours, which will take us to 8 oclock.  I thought it would be fun to get a one way bus to fremont and hang out their for 1-2 hours.  Then have the DDB pick us up and make our way back to the strip for 2-3 hours, stop a couple spots for pictures and just enjoy vegas a bit. We would then probably drop everyone off and those who want to join us hit up a club, but I know a couple of our guest are big club people so thats why we thought the DDB would be a great time.  FI wants to have the DDB pick us up right after dinner and do the picutures and strip tour only, with no visit to fremont.  I love fremont and he thinks is old dirty and uninteresting (no idea why, bc he hasn't actually seen it).  Plus, I am kind of a planner and want to do a bunch of fun stuff withour guests and he is more laid back and wants to see where the night takes you.  So any outside opinions, on our tentative plans? 

Re: We can't decide

  • How large a group are you talking about?  It would be easy for a large group to become separated on Fremont if a light show kicks off and then it can be a pain rounding everyone up for the trip back.

    I'd probably shift the dinner to 5pm since your Aria time slot probably can't move forward an hour.  It only takes a few minutes to get from Aria to Cosmo so your guests won't need much time to make that trek and then they'd be sitting around for 90 minutes, which isn't enough time to really go do something other than gamble, and many people don't want to gamble if they're dressed in wedding attire before dinner since they'll come out smelling like a smoke stack.

    We have about 40 guest.  I guess I was hoping to add in some time for assorted pictures between the ceremony and dinner.  Still to much time?  I appreciate the feedback!
     
    I guess my thinking for visiting freemont would be let everyone know where to meet up and when.  LIke meet back here at 10.  So we wouldnt require everyone to wait around for eachother.  I think FI was kind of thinking along the same lines as you, how would it look. 

  • I think you'll still have enough time for photos.  Typically resort chapel ceremonies start promptly and you're kissing and exiting 15 minutes later, so even at 5pm I think you'd have a solid 45 minutes for photos, and even if you run a little late that's fine, guests can be hanging out and drinking.  Maybe 5:15p if you want a little more time for photos.

  • Please do email NOW to book the DDB. I waited and it took a few weeks for them to respond to me, and they were booked for the exact time slot I wanted. SO... I was able to book the bus, but it changed the time of dinner and rearranged the order of the evening for us. Hopefully that helps too :)

     

  • Thanks! We have emailed for a quote/request time yesterday but they haven't contacted us back yet
