We can't say enough GREAT things about our wedding coordinator Elisabeth & the staff at The Paris. We got married at the Paradis chapel on 2/4/2018, and everyone has been raving about how PERFECT it was. (We had 15 guests.) From our original inquiry to the big day, we only had about 4 weeks--but I am confident that Elisabeth could have pulled it off in a week! Not only was she beyond competent, her sunny disposition shined through with every email & conversation! Meeting her in person was like seeing an old friend from years back . You can tell that Elisabeth loves her job; she is the consummate, friendly professional at doing it! I regret not getting a picture with Elisabeth posing with our wedding party--she was *that* amazing!
The email we got at original inquiry, which helped us choose everything, so was easy to complete, had a *ton* of selections regarding music, flowers, dates/time, etc. It even had a gazillion add-ons such a unity candle, glass shattering & more to choose from. There were even instructions on how to get our marriage license, which was easy, too. Unlike with other venues, the prices were laid out & there were no surprises.
When it came to the ceremony, our minister was classy, incredible; it felt like he knew us for forever when he spoke about us! The photographer they gave us, Chrystal, was equally amazing with her fun-loving attitude & extra mile service. She took us all over, posing us in front of the most beautiful scenery inside & outside of The Paris. Chrystal was as sweet & accommodating as one could be. (We haven't seen the pics yet, but should get the link to them in a day or two.)
Last, I cannot rave enough about Cindy, the lady who did my make-up at the salon inside The Paris. (It was an add-on that we picked & Elisabeth arranged it all!) Cindy was so easy going & sweet--even coming in before her normal work hours to accommodate me. She did an AMAZING job! I felt like a true princess with how she made me look.
My husband rented a tuxedo from Creative Bridal Wear (a recommendation from Elisabeth). They did the fitting & everything on the spot the day before the wedding. The lady there (Michelle) was fantastic--genuinely trying to help my honey look his best by offering many options. He looked PERFECT. Even though I had brought my dress to Vegas, there were a ton of gorgeous options for the bride to try on, too, for rental--what a GREAT idea! Creative Bridal Wear picked up the rented tux from our hotel the next day...we just had to leave it at the bellman's desk!
Our big day was beyond amazing. My husband probably said it best, "from soup to nuts, it didn't cost us a fortune, was totally turnkey, they took care of everything; we had a lot of options to make it our own, & it was the furthest thing from a 'cheesy Vegas' wedding one would expect." He was right. The ceremony, the chapel, & everything/everyone surrounding it was tasteful & just right, although you could pick to add Elvis as an add-on if you so choose! Hahaha. The Paris offered everything, & the execution was perfect. We felt special.
One last thing: we had originally booked our room at the Flamingo because The Paris was sold out due to it being Super Bowl weekend. The Flamingo gave away our room & had the audacity to be irritated at US for being annoyed. We still aren't sure what happened because they told us like 4 different stories, although we went there at 10 am, 12 pm, & again at 3:30 pm trying to check in, so it's not like we didn't try or showed up late! They were glad to have pre-charged our credit card for the room, too & we had to fight to get it refunded, but that's another hotel, another story. I called Elisabeth from the desk at the Flamingo to see if she could help & she reached out to the front desk manager at The Paris & got us what she called "a not updated, older" room at The Paris & called us back within 3 minutes. We took it, and when we walked in, we kind of expected it to be a wreck (haha)--but the room was still fantastic, & we had a place to stay! Crisis averted thanks to Elisabeth & the front desk staff at The Paris for being willing to help us in pinch when the Flamingo was so...um...NOT The Paris!
My hubby is easy going, & I tend to be picky. The Paris managed to impress us both. We HIGHLY recommend reaching out to them if you're thinking about getting married in Vegas. Go to their website; they are one of the few places that has pricing & a ton of details already online, unlike other venues where you are told to "call for details." (Translation: that joint will cost you an arm, a leg!) Haha.
We've already talked about going back to The Paris to renew our vows at their other gorgeous chapel in a few years. The chapels were even MORE stunning in person, the online pics don't do them justice.
Thank you, Elisabeth, & the entire gang at The Paris! Much love from St. Augustine FL! We couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding! read more
