Weddings by Mandalay Bay

I had no idea what to expect when I chose to get married through MGM Resorts specifically at Mandalay Bay. It was most seamless process from start to finish. My Wedding Planner Josephine was outstanding and guided me every step of the way. Throughout the entire process Josephine went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. There were so many options to choose from and I was able to create the dream wedding and reception. Our ceremony was at The Cove and our dinner at Tender Steakhouse. The Cove is breathtaking with high ceilings and fountain in the back drop. The food at Tender was the best I have ever had and our guest could not stop talking about the food and service. If I had to do my wedding and reception over, I would choose Mandalay Weddings over and over. I highly recommend Mandalay Weddings, you will not be disappointed!

When we were looking for a wedding venue we relied heavily on reviews from other couples. Having a destination wedding isn’t as hard as it seems when you have an amazing team of people that go above and beyond to make this a memorable experience.

With so many options to choose from in Las Vegas, we had narrowed down our choices to three different venues. Ultimately we ended up choosing Mandalay Bay because of their customer service. Unlike many other places in Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay was prompt in answering any questions that we had and made us feel valued.

Having our wedding at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas was one of the best experiences ever. Our wedding planner, Emily Thomas, was extremely helpful in turning our vision into reality. We basically just explained to her what we wanted and she made it happen. Emily was easy to communicate with and was always available to answer any of our questions whether it be via phone call or email. She was quick to respond to any and all questions we had, and let us know ahead of time when she would be out of the office or unavailable.

Mandalay Bay Weddings made it easy for us to have our own minister. Although our minister was not licensed in the State of Nevada, Mandalay Bay was very accommodating and had their minister sign the paperwork and allowed our minister to perform the ceremony. Because we had our own minister, we did have to pay for a rehearsal. However, the rehearsal is extremely important so that everyone knows the cues and make sure the actual wedding day flows smoothly.

Photographs and videos last a lifetime. When planning our wedding, we knew from the beginning that we wanted to spend the extra money on a photographer and videographer to capture our special day. Cashman Photo works with Mandalay Bay Weddings. We were nervous that we were not able to choose our own photographer and videographer for the wedding but Cashman Photo did not disappoint. Karolynn McMurray from Cashman Photo communicated well with us from setting up our photo viewing appointment to purchasing our photos.

On the day of our wedding, our photographer, Ken, and our videographer, Ariel, from Cashman Photo were so fun to work with! Ken was an amazing photographer. He made sure to capture our true essence and not make us feel like we were posing uncomfortably. Ken is a really creative photographer and really utilized the scenery to capture amazing photos. He was also very accommodating to the types of photos that we wanted; for example: we wanted first look photos, photos with our parents, and even a big group photo with all of our guests.

During our appointment to view our photos, Karolynn McMurray was awesome. She allowed us to view a slideshow of all of our photos, thoroughly explained all the package options, and informed us of any discounts that were available at that time.

Overall, Mandalay Bay Weddings has many options and upgrades to choose from which makes it a great choice for any budget. For couples like us that aren’t from Las Vegas, the website that Mandalay Bay Wedding creates for you, allows you to choose everything from the color of your flowers, to choosing music for your wedding, and even upgrading the aisle runner and arch. We are happy to have chose Mandalay Bay. They listen to your wants and needs and turn your vision into reality while making sure that you feel valued. We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to have their wedding in Las Vegas.

Jena was easy to work with and honestly took all the worry away. The venue was perfect and the ceremony exactly the way I wanted it.

We got married in the platinum chapel which is the biggest chapel the Mandalay Bay has to offer. Everything turned out beautifully from the flowers to the pianist playing music to the person that married us, we loved it all! The venue is beautiful and classy. Jami worked so hard To make everything perfect for us and was excellent about communication and detail.

We got married in the shark reef aquarium. It was a bigger space than I had originally imagined. Standing room for 15 people easily, in a wide open area surrounded by tropical fish, rays, sharks, turtles. Shark Tunnel is adjacent to ceremony where everyone stands.

Rochelle was our wedding planner she was amazing the whole hotel staff and wedding staff made our day a dream come true

We were overwhelmed with the amount of locations you can get married at in Vegas. Originally we were looking at the Beach at Mandalay Bay until we saw pictures for Valley of the Falls. It is GORGEOUS!!!! We knew we found the perfect location. We could not have asked for anything better and Jen was SO GREAT at answering every question (no matter how ridiculous) and made the whole process so easy. Everyone enjoyed the wedding and commented how beautiful it was. If you are looking for something less flashy check out Valley of the Falls at Mandalay Bay!! The team is exceptional and location is perfect!!! Thank you Mandalay Bay for the perfect day!

Thank you! Mandalay Weddings and Convention

Jenna-you were INCREDIBLE. I can't thank you enough for coordinating our wedding Saturday, April 8th. You made our evening effortless and allowed us to focus on friends, family and fun. You were assertive, sensible, calming, organized, creative, and most of all, trustworthy. Your design sense was impeccable and your execution was flawless! I couldn't be happier with the way the wedding turned out and am so glad we decided to have you for the whole planning period. Not to mention the fact that you turned my vision into a reality and filled in all the gaps. It was absolutely stunning.

Ariel was amazing with accommodations for honeymoon and one year anniversary!

Planned daughters destination wedding in Vegas from South Texas using reviews and phone conversations. Weddings by Mandalay Bay made this easy work. Brianna Holland our coordinator was amazing, she knew all the right questions and listened to what we were looking for and made it happen. We sent numerous emails over the months and when we finally met in July for a quick tour I was totally confident this was going to be great. Brianna ran through the list and made sure we were aware of the items that still needed to be addressed and walked us through the ceremony that day which gave everyone some piece of mind as we got to see it first hand and it brought the sheer size of Mandalay Bay down to a manageable size in our minds as everything we were planning was all relatively close to one area of the resort.
As the day drew close Brianna transferred to another area of the resort but Jenna stepped in and she never missed a step. picked up right where Brianna left off.
The day of the ceremony was as stress free as possible, all the details were taken care of. The Valley of the Falls looked amazing. Our officiant was an incredible man, his words and his kindness made the day even more special. The floral they provide looked fantastic. The photographer they provided was an amazing talent. We got some great pictures of everyone at the ceremony.
The whole experience was fantastic and our guests are still complimenting us on how nice and classy the ceremony was.

The reason we chose Vegas for our wedding venue is because we liked how they had wedding packages for smaller groups. Additionally, these packages made wedding planning so easy - we didn't want to have to coordinate an officiant, vendors, locations, etc. We wanted to focus on what our wedding day meant to us and spending time celebrating with our family and friends. That's exactly what we got.
We chose the Premium upgrade with an In-Suite reception. The ceremony is 15 minutes long and I was concerned that it wasn't enough time to inject meaning into our ceremony. We even wrote our own vows to personalize. The officiant forgot that we had our own vows but we weren't even mad because he did such a beautiful job. One of my guests said that she didn't even cry at her own wedding but she cried at mine. He said the most beautiful, honest words about commitment and love. It was so perfect, even if we didn't get to say our personal vows.
The reception was held in a fabulous suite that we stayed in for 2 nights. It was AMAZING. The food was so good! We weren't sure what to expect for the cake, but it was moist and absolutely delicious!! They even left all the food and bottles of wine, beer, and water for us afterwards. It was also great for entertaining people while we were there.
I made a big fuss about good photography and I had some ideas of poses and perspectives that I sent ahead of time to Cashman. Our photographer, Rich, just absolutely exceeded all our expectations. We were absolutely blown away by the photos and in the end we purchased the Master CD with all the digital images because we loved all of them.
Despite the fact that the tragic shooting had occurred there only a few days before, the hotel was on their game but also extremely respectful. There was no safer place to be.
Our Wedding Coordinator Jenna was so sweet and super responsive to all my emails!! The entire process was painless and so professionally done.
