Then I HIGHLY suggest you try Sunset Gardens!!! We were getting pretty down that we weren't gonna be able to afford a wedding unless we went to a little drive thru place. But my fiance and I found Sunset and had our wedding here and we were NOT disappointed!! The food was great, the decorations were beautiful, & the fact that everything is included in the packages they have (including a fully OPEN BAR) were just some of the great things about Sunset. The staff onsite the day of the wedding made sure that everything was just right. Everything you need is in the same center too! I got my nails, hair, & make-up done right there at Joleon's, the flowers at Petals, and my dress pressed at Bowtie (they charged me $60 and had it hanging in the bridal suite on the wedding day for me). We used the Courtyard Marriott down the street for guests at a lower rate & free shuttle to the wedding for guests, got spray tanned @ Bronzed (across from the Hard Rock) and went to Eyecandy Lounge @ Mandalay Bay for an after party.
The one thing I would say is if there are specific songs that you would like to hear during your ceremony/reception, bring a CD with those songs on it. My fiance is Mexican and the DJ (and yes, he's really bad at calling you back but mainly because I think he has been doing it so long that he thinks he doesn't really need to talk to you until a week or two out) didn't have the genre of music that we preferred to listen to. I had emailed him a song list of ALL the songs we wanted to hear and I think we might have heard like 10 of them and that's it. My burner wouldn't work at the last minute so I couldn't bring a CD with my songs on it but the important songs he had. But I missed hearing a lot of great songs I specifically picked out. If you're the same way, bring a CD so you don't have to worry about not hearing them.
But it was an awesome time! All my guests enjoyed themselves and can't stop talking about how great it was! Thanks Sunset!!!
Pros: all inclusive pkg, away from strip traffic, good food, open bar, decorations, affordable!
Cons: DJ won't call back/have all your songs - bring a CD if u want specific songs played!
