We just got married on the 10th of June 2008. We went with the Opal shores package. I had a custom bouquet made, price wasn't too shabby for the upgrade. The wedding was great the pictures were amazing. I am a model and know a good photographer when I see one. The packages for the photo upgrades range from $450 to $2500 with our package we wanted 41 photo's and ended up with 35 in our price range, a magazine, photo video, canvas painting, 2 8x10's and some great upgraded touch ups plus for around $550 including tax. Times are slow they will work with you on prices if need be. We rented the Vista suite so we would have 1700 square feet for private reception and chose to have our lunch for our guests at the bayside buffet which I would like to add that I was not happy about at first but relationships are about compromise. The pictures did not do it justice. I thought it looked cheap online but that was not the case in person. As matter of fact our guests were disappointed that we all ate at the Rio buffet the night before rather than the bayside, they felt it was a better choice and amazing service. Clean restaraunt, gorgeous view, high ceilings and great desserts. We were under contract with the bayside for a pre arranged number of guests and when people couldn't show short notice they told us not to worry about it, they would only charge us for the guests we had there at the moment. They didn't have to do that but things like that keep me coming back. I was going to go with the Wynn originally but they were snots to me. I have no time for that behavior. My fiance and family were so impressed this is the only hotel we want to stay at until they build the City center and we may try that one next but for us we will not waste our time and money with anyone else knowing what kind of service and excellence we have gotten at Mandalay Bay. I hope you experience is as wonderful as ours.

We were recently married at The chapel at Mandalay Bay, and it was a fantastic experience. The chapel is absolutely gorgeous - it looks exactly as it does on the photographs. The flowers were lovely and the pianist played our requests beautifully. The minister was really great, he was friendly and the service was lovely. All our guests enjoyed the service. The DVD was ready for us as we left the ceremony, and the photographs were ready the day after the ceremony. Everyone at the chapel, and Cashman photographers were slick and professional, and our photographer, Mark, did a FANTASTIC job with the photos - everyone who has seen them has commented that they are fantastic.

On occasion, the process of organising the wedding was a bit difficult from the UK, and a number of our faxes got lost - so I'd recommend scanning documents and sending them as attachments to emails. But this was a slight hiccup and overall, I can't fault the experience - it was absolutely brilliant.

Everything about our wedding at the Mandalay Bay was perfect!
Our wedding coordinator Angela was great at keeping up with all my requests and last minute changes. I wish we would have tipped her more. We got married on 2/23/08 in the gold chapel.
I had the sheer curtains shut because it was cloudy that day, but I kinda wished we would have opened them.
I custom ordered a red rose bouquet with green cymbidium orchids and the bouquet came out perfect! The ceremony was a dream, the way they opened the doors for me and the piano player played so beautifully, it made me melt the second I walked in.
We got the honeymoon suite with our package, but soon found out later the booking people didn't know it was part of our package, and charged us extra so we are currently working on that. The room was huge and had a great view of the pool.
You also get a gift basket full of fruit and cheeses and all kinds of goodies if you get a honeymoon package.
If you didn't order a video package, don't fret.
They record the ceremony anyway in case you do want to purchase it later. Which we did! We also bought everything they had to offer, because the pictures came out better than I thought they would.

This chapel is HIGHLY recommended!!! :)

This was a second wedding for friends, so it was very small and intimate. We were given the silver chapel and allowed to use the bride and groom suites beforehand. This is a GORGEOUS chapel!! Our officiant unfortunately preformed a renewal of the vows ceremony, when we had requested a regular ceremony. but, owell. The photographer was amazing, she took lots of pictures and i can't wait to see them. I've uploaded pics of the chapel.

Oh, we had the crystal waters package.
