These hotel suites are terrific choices to consider using if you are researching having an in-suite Las Vegas wedding because it may end up being the most cost-effective solution for you in the long run. The aim of this article is to help you determine if they are cost-effective.  If so, then here is some needed advice for choosing your suite and moving forward to implement your Las Vegas wedding planning. Utilizing a hotel suite to get married in Las Vegas provides a solution for couples who desire a unique approach to their wedding. This choice may be the ticket to provide a private and yet elegant Las Vegas wedding.  Consider these hotel suites to hold a small Las Vegas wedding ceremony and reception. This idea is appealing to people whether you are eloping in Vegas and it’s only a wedding in Vegas for two or a larger event with a lot of guests because it offers many advantages. The major advantages: More affordable: An in-suite wedding in Las Vegas will be more affordable in the long run if it fits into your style and vision. It is fairly easy to plan, casual, and perfect for those with privacy in mind. This choice may also be the best solution for the smaller hotel suite wedding reception.

Quite often couples find limits are imposed on their wedding day they don’t like. This option allows you to have more control and implement ideas that work for you. You may also use decorations of your own choice and better control over the vendors you want to use for your wedding, ultimately getting more for your money.

To add some special wedding feel and bliss to your in-suite Vegas wedding, here are a number of things to think about and some background information about the suites you will want to know. But before we look at the hotels, let’s look at your budget.

Determine your budget: Determining your budget is the first thing you want to do.  I created a Las Vegas wedding budget checklist you may want to look over here. How will you know which suite is best and what the total costs are unless you do your homework first?  This article is a good starting point to help you determine what you want for your wedding ceremony and reception. How much are you willing to pay for the most exquisite suite and is there a compromise if your budget is smaller? Know your budget and if you can, go for a suite that offers a separate bedroom section so your guests and you have the privacy you need for getting ready and a first look option before the bride walks down the aisle. Vegas Wedding Planning Preparation Checklist: The excitement of Vegas can distract you and make you forget a lot of important details. It will help to create timelines to keep your events organized and on track.

Pre-planning checklist of questions: The questions on this checklist are the main ones you will want to decide on and get answers to prior to the wedding day. Where will the bride enter? Will any person be presenting the hand of the bride upon entry? Where will the music be playing from and who will be in control? What songs do you want to be played before, during and after the ceremony? Write down the order of the songs and separate the wedding and reception playlist. Do you want the guest to stand or sit during the ceremony? Will you have a video? Where do you want the cameras stationed for the ceremony? (Tip: get guidance from your videographer for best lighting). Where will you and your fiancé stand during the ceremony?  (Again, get input from photographer and videographer and planner for best suggestions). What is the recessional plan after your marriage pronouncement? Will you stand in place and have the guest congratulate you casually?  Or, do you want to walk out in a more formal processional and have a moment of privacy as newlyweds? Where will the food be stationed and what food will you provide for guests? Will there be an official celebratory toast after the ceremony? Are you having a cake and where will it be stationed?  Usually, the cake table and gift table are in close proximity. Tip: If you don’t want to hassle with the small details you might want to consider using an affordable Las Vegas wedding planner to give you guidance and help you figure out how to implement the romantic touches and decorate your suite for the wedding.

Utilize and get help from the hotel concierge: It’s an excellent idea to check in with the hotel concierge department and know what they can offer. They have many excellent services they provide and can be a great ally. Just be careful to not give too much away if you are having your ceremony in the suite.  Most hotels do not officially approve of this practice if they provide a chapel in their hotel.  They discourage in-suite Las Vegas Wedding ceremonies however you are renting a private room but if there is a hotel check-in agreement be sure to comply with the rules. Remember, however, you are having a private event and have a right to do the ceremony in your room, despite what the hotel tells you. You should contact the concierge only for periphery items like food, drinks and catering services and leave the special requests up to your planner. Determine the space you need for the ceremony: One factor you need to determine when you decide to get married in Las Vegas in a hotel suite is whether you want to have the ceremony inside or outside. Some suites will accommodate an outside ceremony with balconies overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. If the only option is to hold the ceremony inside, ensure there’s a distance of about 7-8 feet between the closest guests and the Las Vegas wedding officiate. It gives room for improved projection and enough room for the photographer and videographer to move about. Remember the ambiance and music: Las Vegas suites have TVs with USB slots. You can play the songs you want using the suite’s system or you can upgrade for a better, distinguished sound. It helps accomplish a certain mood and helps ensure the sound doesn’t hamper the officiant’s voice or anyone talking at the event. Preparing the suite: You will want to dazzle up the suite in time for the ceremony.  This doesn’t mean you need to spend a lot of money though. You have options. If you plan to DIY your decorating here are some ideas.

Decorations:  If you are a DIY bride or groom and have the vision already dialed in, you will want to make a checklist of items you need. Sometimes hotel concierge departments will allow you to ship in a box of decorations ahead of time if you figure out if it's cost effective to do it that way.  Otherwise, you will want to have a rental car during your time here to enable store buying runs for supplies.  This idea will only work if you have the time. Candles: Consider getting electric votive candles to place around the room. Hotels do not like you to use real candles because it’s a fire hazard. Electric votive candles can be bought at various stores such as Target or Walmart. Flowers: Use flowers to decorate and bring out the best in the atmosphere. Having the florist prepare a few stationary floral arrangements to sit on the cake table and around the room will add a lot to the event. Flowers can be delivered to your hotel suite from anywhere in the city. Once again, you may have a small wedding planner coordinate all the elements for you. A good planner will work on your behalf and pass on the discounts they get to you so even with their fee it’s not more expensive to have a wedding planner help you. Aisle runner: Make the room ready for the wedding with an aisle runner. You may purchase an aisle runner well in advance to spruce up the ambiance and add some formal flair to the occasion. Rearrange the room: Rearrange the different furniture and consider renting chairs if the need is to formalize the setup. There are companies that will bring in chairs you can request them from the hotel for a cost. Set Aside Troubleshooting Time: Technical issues usually crop up, especially with the sound, music, Wi-Fi, rented electronics, live video coverage, among others. Ensure you���ve set some time before the wedding to cover any of these issues that might come up. Drinks and snacks: Your guests will most likely expect you to provide some food, even if it’s finger food or hors-d'oeuvres.  If you keep it small you may decide to the nearest grocery store and get your own finger food. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Champagne or wine is a good choice to keep the alcohol cost down.  This will still allow you to have a wedding toast. Most hotels will not allow outside caterers in providing food in the room.  Another option would be to have the hotel provide the food and drinks for your event but this choice will be more costly. 6 Great Las Vegas Hotel Suite Options: The Venetian Luxury Suites Luxury Suite Floorplan (Premium View) (Cost $539.00 +) (650 Sq.
