HOLLY AND NICHOLAS'S WEDDING

September, 2007 in Las Vegas

"Our wedding was great! Getting married in Las Vegas was really beautiful and so much fun! We made it just like a traditional wedding, with a few less people,and it was so much cheaper than traditional weddings!

I wouldn't change a thing!"

Question:
Congratulations on your marriage in Vegas last year. I am in the midst of planning our wedding right now and I'm hopeful that you can give me your thoughts on a couple things...

Our guests (nearly 40 of them) will be staying at the Excalibur. After arriving in Vegas I'd like to have a little meet & greet (since everyone is coming from all over the place. Funds are tight and I'm wondering if you could make any suggestions. Did you like the Cafe for your welcome luncheon? It looks like a very nice place but I am not sure of the atmosphere for a little dinner gathering.

Any advice would be helpful. thank you and all the best in your new lives together!

Laura

Response from the couple:
Laura,

I know all too well how difficult it is to plan a wedding for guests coming from across the country which is why we decided to have a Welcome cocktail Reception the evening before the wedding instead of a normal rehearsal dinner for only those in the wedding.

Cafe Ba Ba Reeba did a wonderful job creating this type of atmosphere for us. They set us up in an area off to the side of the main resturant that had a large curtain that closed it off from everything. It was in the front right corner of the resturant and had large windows so we could see the strip as well. We ordered trays of appetizer-type foods that they set out on a large table to one side and then they had some tables and chairs around for people to sit down if they chose to. We set up an open bar tab and there were at least two servers that walked around refilling our drinks.

I was worried about the size of the room, but it worked out great. We had 35 people there. We did find some places that were a little cheaper, but this was little bit nicer, a great location, and I think it was worth it. Even still, it was much cheaper than other places on the strip were asking.

I added pictures that should help you get a better idea.

Good luck and congratulations in advance!!!

Holly

Response:
THANK YOU so much for your help!!! I've been looking at the Ba Ba Reeba & it seems like a great choice. It's nice to correspond with someone who has gone though similar things:)

This weekend my goal is to try to get these little details worked out... Your suggestions were so wonderfully helpful. I'm glad that you wrote.

Congratulations again on your marriage. Thanks ever so much!! BTW, thanks for posting the photos. I'm a visual person. ALSO - your cake was stunning!!!

"Everything was wonderful!!! People are still talking about the amazing food a year and a half later!!! It was beautiful and everyone that worked there did a great job! The only thing that I didnt like at first was that you have to walk down the hall and through the resturant to use the bathroom. But, I just started having fun with it each time when everyone was looking at me in my wedding dress as I'd walk by their table :)"
