We LOVED our wedding. We looked around at at least a dozen different hotels and thought Mandalay had best deal and even looked better then many other places. The silver chapel we were married in was beautiful, the dressing room for both the bride and groom was perfect, the pianist was perfect, the minister was wonderful and did exactly when we wanted and even came to speak to both me and the groom prior to the ceremony. The photographer was the best. BUT, BE PREPARED TO DISH OUT A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE PHOTOS!!! We upgraded to the extra hour and additional 32 photos. The next day when seeing the pictures could not pick just 32. We could not bare to leave any behind and bought the copyrights and ALL the pictures. The package came with all 240 pictures prints, a pictures DVD w/music, 2 beautiful silver 8X10 picture frames, 1 20X24 Canvas or watercolor, 2 16X20 canvas or watercolor, back up picture CD and original picture CD w/ full copyrights and a 6X8 soft cover magazine style booklet for $2,201.00. VERY pricey but worth every penny. The only negative was our wedding coordinator. We read review prior to booking stating do not use Alyssa as a coordinator and what happened...WE WERE ASSIGNED ALYSSA! She was very nice at first, but it went sharply down hill. She was delayed on returning phone calls and emails, we would have to pull answers out of her, misplaced out paperwork a month prior to the wedding resulting in her supervisor contacting us asking why we never turned in the required paper work. Then, the worst happened, she misplaced the paper work we got from the marriage bureau!!! In the bag given to us after the wedding she had some one else information in our bag. We had their info delivered to them, but Alyssa could not locate our paperwork. We know mishaps do and will take place and were not too upset about the situations, but got a horrible attitude from Alyssa when we questioned her about the error. She wanted nothing to do with us since our wedding was over (and we think also because we did not tip her hugely since we felt she did not deserve it). She did not apologize for the mistake and kept dishing out the attitude and when questioned her further. We finally had to go up to our room in the hotel and call her supervisor who seemed to straighten things up. We still have no regrets with booking The Chapel at the Mandalay Bay but wish we had requested a change in coordinators when we discovered who our coordinator was.

My husband and I got married at THE chapel in Mandalay Bay on August 08, 2008. I would definitely recommend this site for anyone planning a Las Vegas wedding. I researched all the chapels in and around the strip hotels for hours; I really wanted our ceremony to be beautiful and classy and not cheap or cheesy looking. The chapel at Mandalay Bay fulfilled all my expectations and then some.

We were placed in the Silver Chapel. There are the silver, the gold, and the platinum chapel- which holds groups large than 50. We did walk through and look at all three chapels and were glad that we happened to be in the Silver Chapel. It seemed to have a bit more dramatic entrance for the bride, as the walkway had an angled turn ,before the straight walk down the aisle. The other chapels had a short straight walk directly down the aisle. The chapel was beautiful; the pictures of it on the hotel website do not do it justice. The colors in the decor gave a warm, golden feel, very classy. All of our guests remarked that the chapel was so much better than they were expecting. I really couldn't wish for a more beautiful indoor setting for our marriage.

The officiant was fabulous. The ceremony was simple, but did include a short poem, and he did such a great job with it. I was worried that it would be too basic and they would rush us through, but this was not the case. The ceremony was very meaningful and beautifully done.

The photos were taken throughout the ceremony and for about half an hour after. The photographer did capture some pretty great images, but be prepared to be dragged around even outside in the Vegas heat, for a while. We did end up purchasing an additional photo package, as the photos included in our wedding package were quite limited. Very Expensive!

The brides and grooms waiting rooms are a very nice touch, the perfect place to wait. Be prepared to have someone hold any items that you bring, because you can't leave anything behind in these rooms.

Overall, I would say our experience at the Mandalay Bay wedding chapel was everything that we hoped for. I wouldn't change anything.

I was married at the Mandalay Bay Gold Chapel in July 2008. It was absolutely perfect for what I wanted and turned out amazing. We had a total group of 16 and the size of the chapel was perfect. The chapel itself is beautiful, and did not look anything like a funeral home as my mother was fearing. As others have said the photos were outstanding and the professionalism of the staff day-of was top-notch. I had the platinum sky package. The flowers were beautiful, everyone complimented them throughout the day. Half of my guests were Spanish and they were able to arrange for translation during the ceremony. The included dinner at Shanghai Lilly was also awesome, the food was great and the staff had everything down like clockwork. The suite included in the package is the 600 ss suite at Mandalay Bay. It was spacious, good closet space, and the tub was great as well. I got my hair at make-up done at A Robert Cromeans Salon and it came out great. I would highly recommend them. Price for med-length hair + makeup was was about $200.

The only thing I would really recommend is to verify verify verify all the details with your wedding planner/the hotel/restaurants. For example: My wedding planner had the wrong time for the ceremony, it was 6:30pm and all her correspondence stated 6pm. Also, my hotel reservation was canceled due to no deposit, which I found out when I tried to check in...after it had been verified with the planner. Lastly, the reservation at Shanghai Lilly was apparently never made. I happened to call to verify the time...and found out there was no reservation. With that said, the staff at Mandalay Bay was great and fixed any issues immediately. The wedding turned out perfect and I would highly recommend them.

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.
