Real Wedding: Kristine & Aeden Tie the Knot at Mandalay Bay
Kristine and Aeden hired us pretty close to their wedding day so that Kristine would not be in “work mode” for her entire wedding weekend. As an event manager for a hotel, Kristine wanted to ensure that all the details were taken care of while still being able to enjoy herself.
They were such a joy to work with and I enjoyed working with someone in the industry. We had a mutual respect for each other and I’m so happy to know that she was able to put her trust in our wedding team to coordinate her wedding day flawlessly.
Her weekend consisted of a welcome dessert reception, wedding ceremony at Mandalay Bay complete with a Star Wars light saber exit, and finally a wedding celebration dinner at Red Square. Below are some photos from their wedding weekend.
Favors at the welcome party were chocolate olive picks:
Kristine brought everything with her and we had fun putting together this white ostrich feather centerpiece for the dessert table:
I was on a sugar high just by walking by these desserts:
Tuxedo chocolate covered strawberries are always cute!
After a little Russian vodka…the guys joined the headless Lenin statue for a photo:

The menu was very important to our foodie bride so I also made sure that Adam took plenty of photos of the food! Perhaps this is the reason we got along?
I love the ambiance and decor of this beautiful Russian restaurant!

I love wedding receptions in restaurants. The red bread plates were so pretty!
One of my favorite photos of a bouquet. I love the backdrop of the vodka vault for this deep red rose bridal bouquet:
Thank you Kristine and Aeden for allowing us to be a part of your special day.

Kelly & Nate – Wedding Reception at Maggiano’s Little Italy
Here are the wedding reception photos from Kelly and Nate’s wedding at Maggiano’s Little Italy!
Tall centerpiece of black magic roses, mango calla lilies, cream mini calla lilies, cream asiatic lilies, and jamestory orchids:
Kelly wanted to surprise her father by having an Elvis impersonator at their wedding. Her father is a HUGE fan and it was also his birthday. For most of the night, he was observing and enjoying his daughter’s wedding but when our Elvis arrived, he began to completely loosen up and it was so much fun to see!

Fall Wedding at Wynn Las Vegas & Maggiano Little Italy
Kelly and Nate were married back in October of 2009 at the Primrose Court in Wynn Las Vegas and celebrated with a dinner reception at Maggiano’s Little Italy.
Below are some of their wedding ceremony photos.
The bridesmaids all wore a beautiful red color to tie into the “crimson and cream” color scheme:
Isn’t Kelly’s purse adorable??
They stayed at the Palazzo Las Vegas so Kelly and her bridesmaids decided to walk to the Wynn to get to her wedding!
Kelly was so happy with the gorgeous ceremony site. Kelly was one of those brides who wanted her wedding to be overflowing with beautiful flowers:

Congratulations to Kate and Ge, a sweet couple from Boston, who were married in October at the beautiful Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa! Their colors were red and chocolate brown which were perfect for this setting. Besides Kate’s love for the color red, she also wanted to honor her groom’s Chinese heritage. Some of his family flew in all the way from China to witness their wedding! Following a beautiful intimate wedding ceremony with music played by an acoustic guitarist, Kate, Ge, and their family and close friends celebrated with a cocktail style reception.
Congratulations Kate and Ge!

Cheesecake Lollipops
The first time I saw cheesecake lollipops, I was at a Concierge event with my sister at the David Burke restaurant inside the Venetian Resort, Hotel & Casino. This was a few years ago and it seems that I’m starting to see this trend more and more and it has carried over to weddings and events.
We recently did a wedding with a cocktail style reception. Red Rock Casino, Resort, & Spa created cheesecake lollipops and we placed it on a bed of red sugar crystals to coordinate with the bride and groom’s wedding color.
More photos from this wedding to come!
Venue: Red Rock Casino, Resort, & Spa

Guest Blog Post: Honeymooning in Vegas? Elegance is Possible
Written by: Lourdes Gutierrez of Best of Vegas
You’ve gone through the process of getting a marriage license and pulled off a quaint Vegas wedding. You’ve managed to avoid the stereotype of shotgun, drive thru weddings and now want to celebrate your union in a way only Las Vegas lets you. Newlyweds, we know you’ll want to party at Las Vegas nightclubs and dine at the finest Las Vegas restaurants, but what about having a great hotel room to honeymoon in?
We know Vegas is famous for doing things over the top, but there are plenty of elegant hotel suites that can give you a beautiful honeymoon experience full of luxury and relaxation. At the Wynn Las Vegas you will be surrounded by beautiful landscapes of waterfalls, lakes and colorful gardens. This 5-star hotel even features original oil paintings by Monet and Picasso. Those of you that book a suite to honeymoon in will enjoy a private gated entry as well as private pools and cabanas. If you’re in the mood for dancing you can head to club Tryst or fulfill your sushi craving at the Okada restaurant.
At the Encore, the “younger and flirtier” sister of the Wynn, you will be able to enjoy marble and limestone suites that feature flat panel TV’s and glass showers as well as the Wynn Dream Beds (which both the Wynn and the Encore have). There is a beautiful atrium with various types of flowers and butterfly tiles decorating the surroundings. You can dine at the Sinatra and Botero Steak Restaurants or just order room service and peer out at Las Vegas from your suite’s 2 story windows.
At the Palazzo you will enjoy the luxuries of The Venetian sister hotel. This hotel literally looks like a palace and is the home to the runaway hit show Jersey Boys. All suites have dual vanities, 3 LCD TV’s, separate soak tubs and incredible marble showers. You can party at hotspot LAVO nightclub, where you might just bump into some of your favorite stars. If you get hungry you can dine at the famous fusion restaurant, SushiSamba.
No matter which of these hotels you choose for your Las Vegas honeymoon you can find beauty and elegance in each one. Make your Vegas wedding memorable and classy at the Wynn, the Encore or the Palazzo.
