Several issues with this chapel and its wedding coordinator:
1. Be sure and ask about the minister. Ours spoke broken english, for example: "wing" for "ring". Althought I am sure this will be funny years from now because it reminded us of the movie Princess Bride "wove true wove" we expected more. The service itself, thought difficult to understand, was nice.
2. This minister doubled his fee and shamed the bride and groom into paying. The coordinator had to call the minister to come back to the chapel and return the money. That was great but then she (wedding coordinator) told us that he had done this before but she thought he had been pretty good lately after the owner talked with him. Maybe needs closer watching?
3. Photographer made a better stand-up comedian than photograper. The pictures were distorted and odd sizes making them difficult to frame. For example, 7x10, 3x7, etc. There was a lot of pressure to purchase these photos at $40 a piece unless we bought the $500+ package. We did not realize the extent of the distortion until we got them home and viewed them on our own computer.
4. Coordinator was to reserve a specifice room and to arrange a specific buffet and cake reception at Hennessey's Tavern for which I paid a large amount of money. The reception was a nightmare:
a. room was downstairs in the back not upstairs with a view of freemont street from a private balconey as discribed. The wedding coordinator knew about the room but failed to tell us so we were shocked when we arrived at the restaurant.
b. the food was supposed to be served buffet style but was changed to family style without our consent or knowledge. The wedding planner waited until an hour and fifteen minutes prior to the reception (just before the wedding was to start) before telling us that we would not be getting the buffet we had paid for. Result was cold food, small portions and terrible service (one server shared with the main dining room). I even had to bus the table, myself, of dishes to make room for the dessert plates. Complaints about the cold food went unaddressed resulting in much of the food being left uneaten.
c. cake was not set-up as we were told and then was set on table but left on cardboard box. The cake had been left unrefrigerated and as a result was slightly lopsided.
d. efforts to make a satisfactory settlement with the chapel who arranged the room and reception and the restaurant for the poor food and service were unsuccessful leaving me to seek other means of reimbursement.
e. Live music in the main dining hall was not suppose to start til 9, when the reception ended, but started at 8 p.m. making conversation at the reception difficult and leading to complaints from our guests.
I do not recomment this chapel for your Las Vegas Wedding experience.
