Hi Everyone!
Gosh, I wish I had found this board sooner. I'm currently feeling pretty anxious about my wedding. I was married once before but it was a traditional big old circus of a wedding. This time around I'm hightailing it to Vegas with my groom and it'll be just us - well, his mom will be there to witness the ceremony and stand up for both of us, which makes me very happy, I'm lucky to be getting her as a mom-in-law.
Anyway, I was spoilt the first time around by the lovely ladies at Disney who planned my wedding like the fairytale creators they are. So dealing directly with vendors is new for me and I'm really nervous. So any experience or tips you have would be helpful.
Here's what I PLAN to do:
We are getting married by the mobile officiant at Las Vegas Luv Bug. We are staying at the Wynn and want to just get married quickly and quietly on the grounds. We understand that as long as you are under a roof you can't do this but otherwise we should be ok. Has anybody else done this? How did it work? We plan to wander around the night before our wedding, looking for specific locations at the Wynn and Bellagio to see what hits us - the ceremony is set for 7:30pm and it's on a Tuesday. Las Vegas Luv Bug provides video and photography as part of their package. I wish I had the money to hire separately but this is what we are working with - anybody have experience with their photographers?
I plan to have hair/makeup people come to me in my room at the Wynn - I like Stevee Danielle the best so far - anybody used them? I can't budget more than $160 for this service and they fit right in.
Lastly, I want to use The Palette for my florist - I can't believe how great Pam's prices are and I'm reading good reviews of her work. Anybody else use them?
Oh and another thing - tipping - HELP! do i tip the photographer and the officiant separately? They are a package deal, not sure how it works. And what percentage do I tip everybody?
I guess that's it. Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers!
