Planning a wedding is no easy task to begin with. Try doing it two thousand miles away!! I am lucky that I know Las Vegas like the back of my hand and have incredible contacts all over the country and the world for that matter. Let me start by saying, that there is no other place in the world that I have had as much fun as in Las Vegas. It is the perfect place to entertain your guests and there are virtually unlimited possibilities when it comes to hosting a five star event in the city. I do have my favorites and of course the magnificent Bellagio hotel is at the top of the list.
It was Chinese New Year when I visited Las Vegas last week to meet with the Ling Family to plan their daughters wedding to be held on the grand terrace this April. Good fortune and lots of red and gold flowers filled the hotel to the brim making a sublime setting for our meetings. We had a day filled with incredible tastings, displays of flowers, meetings with vendors and walking through each and every detail of the wedding.....or so we thought. At the end of the whirlwind day my bride and I looked at each other and realized that there was and is still a lot of work to do to make the once in a lifetime event that we all hope it will be. We enjoyed the happy moment and made our way through the hotel for a most beautiful engagement portrait session in the stunning gardens of the Bellagio.
I have no doubt with a world class hotel like the Bellagio on our team that we are in store for superb cuisine, unmatched service and impeccable attention to detail. All of this has me excited to come back to the strip for what will be an amazing wedding.......and beleive you me I would not mind sipping on the signature cockatils and watching celebrities in the foyer either. FUN!
A very special thanks first to my bride and friend Lily and her family for having me and my company be part of this incredible celebration. And of course to my friends Tori who heads up special events at The Bellagio, her staff and to Trish within the floral department. You made our destination wedding planning, literally a piece of cake. I look forward to seeing you both again soon, sixty days to be exact.
