      Can be beneficial due to the photographers and videographers being extremely familiar with the location and thus having the knowledge of best photo locations on site - they don't only photograph weddings, they are the same photographers hired for the Superbowl and F1 that also happened in Vegas

      I feel like people who don’t live within an hour flight of Vegas see it as nicer than it is. Vegas weddings may be beautiful inside but once you leave the ceremony. Trashy. Bellagio is the nicest Vegas wedding I’ve been too but it’s still full on cigarette smoke infiltrating your clothes while seniors are mindlessly pushing buttons on slot machines on your way to reception. Just say no to a Vegas wedding. At best it’s 50% elegant and 50% trashy.

    My mantra on my wedding day was, "At the end of today, I'll be married to my favorite person & that's the only thing that matters." It takes a lot of the stress and fixation on small details out of it. I know your day will be perfect, and at the end of it you'll be married to your person. All the best Cassie!

    I've been to a ridiculous amount of weddings. Two of my favorites: one was held in an aquarium. Eating dinner while being watched by a beluga whale three feet away. The other was my BFFs wedding at a children's museum and we were allowed to climb all over kids equipment: the boat, fire truck, pirate ship and hippie bus. It was SO FUN. After the formal stuff was done and it was party time, there's a photo of the bridal party hanging out of all the bus windows and the jewish priest was the driver. There's also video of that photo being taken and during the chaos and laughing, the priest did the sign of the cross🤣

    Please do not stress about your wedding, it’s the marriage that matters. I’m from Leeds but we were living in New England when we got married and I arranged the wedding long distance in a pub in North Yorkshire. We only had 75 guests but if I were to do it over I would invite my sisters and a handful of very best friends only and it would be at a registry office. It’s our silver wedding anniversary this year, marriage rocks!

    Oh yes the Vegas wedding… I think I mentioned my husband and I got married at Wynn in the Courtyard - but we eloped so no reception just dinner at Bartolotta in a Cabana. They also made us use their photographers but we were really happy with them. I’m surprised they can’t do big weddings - they have those huge conference areas!

    I’ve been back on my WB teen shows from the 90s and 2000s lately (currently watching Dawson’s Creek) and your decision to let go of the Vegas wedding reminded me of this quote that was in an episode I just watched:
    “If we weren't so afraid to let go we wouldn't feel so free when we finally did.”
    I bet though, that this new wedding plan will be even more perfect than you could have envisioned!

    I planned our outdoor wedding on a napkin in one afternoon. Didn't plan for mother nature to throw a tantrum the entire day up to 40 minutes before the ceremony started though. Needless to say alcohol started being served as soon as the first guest showed up. I cut off the bottom of my custom dress because it was coated in mud and no dry cleaner would have been able to help... Live your best life at your wedding! Make the situation work for you!

    Hello Cassie. Being stressed and trying to be the best is part of the wedding. What I watch is someone who know the meaning of getting marry and still wants to have the best experience/ memories. Your heart is in the right place, only comprised with your future husband and both set of parents. Nobody else matters on these things. If you want the best, go after it.
    The best of luck with the 2 ceremonies

We ended up doing courthouse and then Barcelona. Everything including invites, room dressing, catering, flowers and drinks even a private nightclub all included. No hidden charges at all and they were amazing even with the language and the contract translation. Good luck and I'm sure it'll be gorgeous

    @ngo7156 6 месяцев назад +2

    The venue in Vegas added an extra $25, 000 for moving chairs! Insane! I got married ten years ago and had the ceremony, cocktail hour, pictures, dinner all in a hotel. I planned the wedding all by myself and wanted to make easy and cost effective. It was perfect! I didnt have to worry about people getting lost or late going from one place to another. The hotel included fresh flower centerpieces, they used an excellent bakery for our wedding cake. I used my own DJ, my own photographer. I had no complaints and the food was great. As an American I am not offended by your comment about comparing churches in England and in Las Vegas. The churches in England are h7ndreds of years old if not thousands with so much character. Churches in America are a lot newer in comparison and some are more simple. Do whatever works for you and your fiancee in regards to your wedding. ❤ 😊

I still had the black dress I wanted to wear and still had the flowers as my mom surprised me with a black and white rose bouquet and she did get us a cake for afterwards. We went and had brunch with our families and it was great. Everything will turn out just the way you want it 😊. Great video.

    Gurl, $25,000 was more than my entire wedding budget! And they want to charge you that much just to MOVE the sun loungers??? Absolutely not! It's becoming more and more common nowadays to get courthouse married with parents and immediate family only and then a big ceremony and reception later. That's what my husband and I did since we got married during COVID. Wishing you the best on planning your wedding with your new ideas!

    Got married at the Vegas courthouse on a whim during a weekend trip in t-shirts, jeans, & tennis shoes 23 yrs ago this month. 6 yrs later to the date & day we had a small intimate traditional Catholic wedding & small reception, even the small gathering brought about unnecessary drama! We almost cancelled it 😂 Hang in there ❤️

    Wedding planning is so stressful. We are celebrating our 16th Anniversary in April and if I had to do it all over again I would be right at the courthouse! Good luck with your new plans and technically it sounds like you are still a 2024 bride🥰

    I’m a 2024 bride too and although everything has been organised and is ready to go, I’m a bit over the planning process also, but that’s mainly because I was content have a very modest wedding but I’m the only child and my husbands the eldest son, so felt a little more pressure to have a traditional wedding. I’m sure your special day will be amazing and worth the wait ❤️

    I’m planning my wedding now and can so relate! I wanted to get married in Vegas so badly and it just turned into complication after complication. We went with something totally different in the end and I’m so much happier now with how the planning is going!

    ABSOLUTELY WILD we ended up with the same wedding plan idea AND toured venues in October!! 😂 I agree that the communication is lacking as far as wedding team consulting with us at all prior to the event, but keep in mind that it IS Las Vegas we're talking about here and they are used to last-minute events. In our contract it specifically states that we arent required to finalize any plans until just 2 weeks prior to the ceremony date!
    (We decided on Caesars Palace with a private Villa Reception if anyone was curious)

    I actually think you will love the intimacy with just your fiancé and your parents at the courthouse , and you may opt out of doing anything at all.
    I eloped in 2021 in Maui, and it was the best decision ever. I did hire a photographer and a videographer to capture the moment and I sent out an announcement (with pics) to all of the people who I would have invited to the wedding if I had one. No headaches and stayed within my budget. Best decision ever.

    take a page from the pandemic book. have a small ceremony and then a big party separately. less stress..you're already married at the party and in your case more excuses to wear more outfits :)

    Weddings are nerve racking but when everything is said and done, the day seems to fly by. Been married over 18yrs and I remember bits and pieces of it. When you start to feel overwhelmed by it all- take a step back and breathe. You got this! My friend just got married this past summer and she did a destination wedding. She stressed all the way until the day of- and at the end she looked radiant and glorious. I wish you the same radiant, glorious look on your big day. Enjoy as much of it as you can. And the most important thing I can tell you that I remember about my day was how I felt when I put the gown and veil on and the moments my mom and my now husband saw me in it for the first time. I can’t explain how it felt but it is unforgettable. Enjoy Cassie!

    We had a teeny tiny wedding in Vegas. Best decision ever. Everyone had a blast. We used their photographer and they were great. We even had a pianist 🤣. We don't ever look back on that day. It was great but we always look forward.
    A wedding is a day, a marriage is forever. Keep things simple, and have fun. I don't ever think of my wedding day because we have had so many other amazing moments like our first child that makes that day seem mid.
    Best of luck - but just do it. Your guest are just there to party and get free food. The only people that really care are immediate family and really close friends.

    I dreamed of a elegant quaint wedding. that didn't happen for me either. you're right between planning and the sheer amount of money involved it just wasn't in the cards for me 😥 coming out of a pandemic lockdown where we were surviving literally on barely anything. there was no way we could financially make it happen how I envisioned. so... me and my husband opted for an ordained minister to do our exchanging of vowels and signing our marriage certificate along with my mother and my husband's father as our witnesses. we got married in the comfort our own home😁💙 2-22-2022

    GIRL - I got engaged last year. I've been putting my wedding plans on hold after my dream venue fell thru. Our guest list is going to be like 200+ people and the average cost per head is like $250 😂. I've had people I neither talk to nor like come up to me demanding an invitation! I'm seriously considering eloping if it weren't for my parents. My anxious, type A ass cannot deal at the moment. But hang in there! I'm sure your wedding will be absolutely marvelous!

    As a 2024 bride, I can relate 1000%! We’re having a destination wedding and also went through so many venues, countries and wedding & event teams. At some of the hotels we were looking at, almost putting down the deposit, and was told the same thing: have to use their photographer, their cake (with few selections to choose from), and the list goes on and on. Finally found the perfect venue though, and the perfect photographer unrelated to the venue. So our invitations are sent for our July wedding. But holy moly how much stress planning a wedding is ~ even if you have a wedding planner like we also do, especially since we’re having a destinations wedding for three days. Anyways, my experience is that the most stress is landing & booking the venue, photographer & dress (one of the favorite parts though), deciding on the guest list and booking planner of course. After that the planner will take care of most of it ~ so hopefully this will be your experience also❤
    Looking forward to more wedding updates in the future & I’m cheering on Ca$$ie as a 2025 bride 👰🏻‍♀️💍
