The Venue

The Excalibur!

Hello it is a castle!

We started planning this as years ago, again this was originally going to be for our 5 year anniversary not our 10, so I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted, and had talked to people there quite a few times.

Every now and then they make changes to their wedding packages. When I started all this I had chosen my perfect package, I was so excited and so ready, so much research so much work was done to make sure it was the perfect package for us! WELL in 2016 they made some pretty big changes to their packages!  So although I lost some things, I gained other things, what can you do, besides pay the deposit earlier. Thou as it was I paid it in March of 2016 even though the Ceremony would not be taking place till July 2017.

This venue is so perfect not only because it is a Castle, the people there are truly amazing!
They are so sweet, and kind even when you have a 1000 questions and some are really odd, because you have a bit of a different theme then their normal, we are in Vegas why not or their, "White Dress" weddings.

When I fist approached them with my idea they did not flinch, they were just as excited about it as I was and got on board with my crazy ideas :)

When the new packages came out it took me a little while to decide which package was best for us. We did do a few add ons but I am thrilled with the package and excited to see it all come together.
I have to say one of the changes I like the most, is that the cost for the officiant is now included, before it was an additional cost, which I found so odd because they are required. you can't bring in your own person :(

So what package did I choose and what were my addons?

I chose the Tantalize Package
 It included:
    Use of the Small or  Large Chapel
                     (We chose the Large, longer isle to walk down)
     Traditional Music
                      (Which we will not be using we are bringing in a CD with our music)
     Officiant Services
     $100 Floral Allowance
                      (The flower info can be found on the Flower Post)
     Photography
           Silver Photo Upgrade
           18 4x6 Photographs
           Photo Album
           DVD of Wedding
      Bottle of Champagne
                       (We had this changed to Sparkling Cider)
      Breakfast at the Pyramid Cafe

(the only down side to this package is that it only includes 40 guests - if we have more people RSVP we will need to upgrade to the Intrigue which allows for 75 guests - for an extra $300+ it would give us $50 more for floral 6 more 4x6 pictures, and 2 all days passes to the Buffet - instead of just breakfast at the Cafe)    

We Added:
A Sand Ceremony
30 Days of Webcasting
And Upgraded our Photo Package from the Silver that was part of our package to Gold
   What does that mean - 1 more hour of the Photographers time
                for some family shots and some around the Castle/Hotel

We will also have our Officiant dress in The Red Robes and Gold Crown - It is a "Costume" they have available, that can be added at no charge.

We received a discount code for us and our guests to use when they book their rooms, I loved this bonus, it helped us upgrade to a suite and be able to host Reception there :)

Here is a picture of the Large Chapel - It is perfect!
