At the JW Marriott Resort and Spa we offer key components which will make your Wedding, whether an intimate occasion or grand celebration, a memorable occasion for you and your guests.  The Resort is nestled in the heart of Summerlin featuring fifty four acres of lush grounds with intimate garden setting and waterscapes to accent your special day.  The Aquae Sulis Salon and Spa offers a variety of options to prepare and rejuvenate.  Allow our Marriott Certified staff to help plan your Wedding Ceremony and Reception in one of seven outdoor Ceremony sites and eight unique reception venues accommodating from twenty five to over five hundred guests.  In addition, we offer four packages to host your Wedding Celebration.

Intimate Celebrations.  For the couple seeking the perfect backdrop for the Wedding Ceremony for two to two hundred we offer our Intimate Celebrations Packages which focus on the Wedding Ceremony and a more modest reception.  These packages offer the same attention to detail and beautiful venues including a variety of talented professionals to accent your Wedding.  All of the packages include the officiant, photography, floral, and the coordination by our staff.

Signature Weddings.  Choose from six packages featuring plated, buffet, and reception style menus.  The Signature Wedding Packages are designed to provide a more complete approach inclusive of the Wedding Coordination by a Marriott Certified Coordinator, Ceremony site, Cocktail reception with passed hors d' oeuvres, custom designed Wedding Cake, choice of linens, champagne toast, and Bridal Suite.  Your Wedding Coordinator can also assist with a variety of enhancements and vendor options to make the day perfectly yours.

Custom Weddings.  We understand that a package does not fit every couple so we created an a la carte approach to allow you to custom build your Wedding including styles of chairs, type of menu, number of hours, beverage selections, and vendor services.  You will still enjoy the signature service and attention to detail with the ability to custom create your Wedding day!

Eco-Chic Weddings.   The Marriott has always been an industry leader in Lodging by setting the benchmark.  Marriott hotels have transitioned to offer smoke free accommodations and other improvements to be more environmentally friendly.  In keeping with this tradition the JW Marriott Resort is proud to introduce our Eco-Chic Wedding Packages to help plan your Wedding with less of an environmental impact.  The packages offer planning tips, vendor services, and packages including organic foods and spirits, and products from recycled and renewable resoures.

Additional Questions and Answers
When do I need to start planning my Wedding and reserve the venue?  As Las Vegas is one of the top Wedding locations in the world, the planning timeline is slightly different than many other destinations.  Most of our couples begin planning six months to a year from their Wedding date.  Early reservations are encouraged for peak Wedding Season which is April through June and September through early November.

What time of day should I host my Ceremony?  There are two considerations in planning your Ceremony time.  The first is the time of year and sunset.  Most photographers will suggest to host your Wedding Ceremony at least one hour to one hour and a half prior to sunset in order to capture the beauty of our outdoor settings.  In our warmer months this also allows for a cooler time for the Ceremony.  The second consideration is how late you would like your event hosted until.  For instance, if you want your reception hosted until 11:00 PM your Ceremony will begin at 5:30 PM (based on a five hour reception).

What type of menu should I select?  In planning your style of menu there are many considerations as this will set the tone for the evening.   A plated meal offers your guest the elegance and formal setting with tableside service.  You will want to allot a designated time period with approximately twenty minutes per course before you begin the "celebration" portion of your event.  Buffet style menu offers a variety of selections for your guests in a less formal environment.  Time to allot for service is approximately one hour.  The least formal and very popular option is a stations style menu.  This allows for a variety of options for your guests and a great deal of flexibility for planning your sequence of events.



Tips and Advice
Planning for your Wedding can be very much like buying a house.  There are so many options, floorplans, and upgrades available, and it is important to consider a variety of points prior to making your final selection! 

1.  The first step is finding qualified Wedding professionals with experience to help bring your dreams to fruition.   An on site Coordinator with experience will help plan your Wedding so your special day is as stress free as possible.

2.  Second, ask exactly what is included in a Wedding package.  The greatest value is rarely the lowest price!  Some venues may have site fees, cake cutting fees, or other charges not immediately presented or included in your package price.  In planning this very special day you want to assure that all the basics are included such as the cake, champagne toast for all of your guests, on site coordination, and the Ceremony.  Once you have the basics in place, you have plenty of time to consider upgrade options with linens, chairs, and other components to accent your day!

3.  Vendors are also one of the most important components in planning your Wedding.  When planning the many support components of your Wedding you want to make sure your vendors have Wedding experience and are familiar with the property you choose.  Each vendor has a very vital role in the process so you want to make sure they offer the services to make your day memorable.  Your DJ not only keeps your guests motivated by great music, but is also the Emcee for the evening.  This is a vital role in making sure they are aware of your schedule and work well with your photographer, videographer, and coordinator to make sure everyone is in sync.  There is no opportunity to recapture the essence of the evening so you will want to make sure your Photographer and Videographer are scheduled for the correct period of time and are aware of the most important parts of the evening.  Your florists can offer suggestions based on season and venue from simple and elegant to contemporary and exotic! 

4.  Most of all, remember that your time is also valuable.  Your Wedding day should be spent with family and friends preparing for your Ceremony and Reception. Hiring professionals to handle all of the details for your Wedding day will allow you and your family to be stress free and enjoy the occasion that day and for years to come!
