Reviews for 8-22-2011 Wedding
Cosmopolitan – A+++
Awesome room, great service. Hated the $150 a night extra fee they charged but thanks to another bride on the board, I was prepared for it (since nothing I had received from them ever mentioned it!) The room was amazing. We loved the balcony. My husband said it’s the most awesome room he’s ever been in.
The Pub at Monte Carlo – B
They were very accommodating since we didn’t even have a reservation (we had 12 people originally planning on attending) and more people showed up than anticipated (ended up with 15) and they just pushed more tables together for us. The only thing that stunk was having to put it all on one check. That made it more difficult for everyone (but Kahunaville did the same thing). The reason they got a B was because on their menus it said happy hour was from 4-7 and we got there at 6 and tried to order for Happy hour and the waitress was rude and said “happy hour is only til 6, these are old menus”. After my dad complained, she finally caved, but she was rude about it.
Kahunaville – A+
They were very accommodating as well and we had a group of 19 people all together. They let us use 7 Buy 1 Get 1 free entrée coupons which saved us $150. They did make us put it all on one check but it all worked out really well. Service was great, food was great, drinks were great!
Planet Hollywood Hotel – B
Little disappointing after the Cosmopolitan but not bad at all. Service was great and check in was smooth. Nice size room included in our wedding package
Double Decker Bus Tour - B
Don’t have them pick you up at Planet Hollywood! The instructions were confusing and the bell desk at Planet Hollywood told us to go someplace else and “that’s always where it picks people up”. We lost about 20 minutes of our time because of that but the bus tour was everyone’s favorite part. We got dropped off at Fremont Street for about 30 minutes and got to see the light show which was awesome.
Fit for a Bride – B
Debi is awesome and the only reason she’s getting a B is because she offered me dress cleaning services for after the wedding and she quoted me $150 including shipping and said it was a special price for the people who have their dresses steamed by her. I wasn’t sure but in the end decided to do it. When I went to drop the dress off, she then quoted me between $150-$175 which I was a little upset about but she said she’d try to keep it as low as possible. My dress came last week (wasn’t expecting it for another week and a half!) but my bill was $190! She didn’t even email me to let me know it was going to be more expensive, so I am a little upset about that but she was great in everything else.
The Chapel @ Planet Hollywood – A+
So nice! Beautiful! My WCs were perfect. Everything was amazing. The reverend was good. The chapel itself was gorgeous. I wouldn’t change anything!
Cashman Photos – B
The only reason they get a B is because they added an extra part to our package and took more photos in a different location, which was nice but we missed out on time for our photo tour with Todd (whose photos we didn’t have to buy separately!) But our photographer did a great job and our package included 12 prints and we ended up buying 13 more (for $10 each! Which sucks, but its worth it since they’re the only photos we have of the ceremony!) They took 100 photos.
Todd Wilson – A+ +
Of course Todd was amazing! Right on time and started taking photos right away. We had him for 8 hours and we got 1,513 photos. He printed out 181 of them for us. Everything was great, our photos are perfect. We had them less than 2 weeks after our wedding! Love it!
Here's how we spent our 8 hours with Todd :)
11 am - He came to our room at Planet Hollywood to get "getting ready" photos of me and my mom and sister
11:30 am - we had to be at the chapel so he got some photos of the groom and his parents and grandma
Noon - wedding ceremony and no outside photogs allowed
12:45pm - (cashman photos took longer than expected!) photos at planet hollywood
1-2:30pm - photos at paris, bellagio and las vegas sign
2:30 - 5:30pm - reception photos at maggianos
5:30-7pm - photos at the venetian and ceasar's palace
11Photography11 - Stacy Frick – A+
I saw her ad on craigslist for free wedding photography so I asked her to come and “second shoot” the wedding and get some shots of the groom and his groomsmen. I am SO glad we did because those are some of my husband’s favorite photos. She was so great and easy to work with!
Maggianos – A+++
They are wonderful! Everything was absolutely perfect and amazing and I wouldn’t change a thing. They set everything up and took everything down. They boxed up our food and our cake for us and held it til the next day since we didn’t have a fridge. Cassy was amazing and I would 100% recommend Maggianos to everyone!
DJ Godzilla – A+
Awesome! He got everyone up and dancing (which I didn’t think would happen!). He was fun and he took everyone’s requests and would check in with us to make sure everything was ok.
Travis Allen - B
I don't know if I was expecting too much since everyone talked so highly of him, but I wasn't terribly impressed. He did a good job, exactly what we asked him to, but he didn't go above and beyond or anything. People liked him and our photos we took with him are great and I'd recommend him.
Las Vegas Limos - B
They'd get an A except the driver kept calling and texting me as we were trying to leave the reception. He literally called 6 times. I'm glad he was there and on top of things, but it was just annoying. We booked them from 12:30-2:30pm for a photo strip tour right after the ceremony and then from 5:30-7:30pm for a second round of photos after the reception. Total including gratuity and any other charges was $284 for 4 hours.

Harmony Medina - A++
She is amazing and one of my favorite vendors. She made me soooo pretty :) I didn’t have a trial done (my fault, lack of time management!) but she still did amazing! Love love love!
I wanted to do a before and after shot of my makeup to show how awesome she is...
Before Harmony
(ahhhhh!)
After (well during) Harmony
Shannon Sensi – A+
She was recommended by a fellow knottie and she did our cake. It was huge and she only charged us $225 including setup and delivery. I LOVE our cake. It was amazing. She did great work!
