Elvis Has Left the Building:
Las Vegas offers luxury beyond the Strip

If New York is “the city that never sleeps,” Las Vegas must be “the city that is never outdone.”

Stylish accommodations, epicurean delights, world-class entertainment—these are just a few of the elements that make our neighbor to the north such an appealing destination for weddings. Gaming and nightlife may be the first things that come to mind when you think of Las Vegas, but a closer look reveals a city ready to pamper and delight you with unparalleled service.

Las Vegas offers destination wedding experiences that will delight and entertain the most discriminating couples. From intimate gatherings to over-the-top extravagant soirees, we have found something for everyone here.

Weddings on the Strip

The event teams at the recently opened Palazzo and the equally opulent Venetian have put a tremendous amount of thought into producing weddings that appeal to the romantic couple who desires an intimately beautiful ceremony site coupled with world-class cuisine.

The Palazzo Hospitality Parlor, for example, features a private outdoor terrace—perfect for evening ceremonies. As the sun slips beyond the horizon, a candlelit environment sets the stage for a romantic exchange of vows in front of a cast stone fireplace. The expert on-site floral design team will fashion dewy bouquets and centerpieces in the style of your choosing to complement the décor of the parlor. Elegant table linens and custom chair covers are available as well.

Wine and Dine

Couples seeking the ultimate wedding feast should look no further than Restaurant Charlie in The Palazzo. Renowned Chef Charlie Trotter’s new Las Vegas venue features a private dining room for parties of 12 to 30, wherein guests may dine on selections such as poached Maine lobster in Yellow Curry with Lotus Root or hand-harvested scallops. Guests will rave about the meals, but we implore you not to pass on dessert. Impeccable service in a marvelous setting.

Chef Thomas Keller’s Bouchon offers the ultimate homage to Sunday brunch, no matter which day you choose to enjoy it. Raise a glass of champagne to the pastry chefs who work virtually around the clock to turn out dainty cakes, sumptuous pastries, to-die-for chocolate confections and yes, marvelous wedding cakes here at the Venetian.

Luxurious Retreats

Not far from the city lights, the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa offers the best of both worlds: indulgent ambiance that JW properties are known for, set alongside access to Las Vegas gaming and entertainment. Lushly landscaped grounds surround the classically elegant architecture at the resort, which features golf, tennis, and a brand new 40,000-square-foot Aquae Soulis Spa & Salon.

Weddings at this JW Marriott property take on a decidedly aristocratic air. Think lush, sun-drenched garden parties on expansive lawns, cocktail soirees bustling with tuxedoed servers offering scrumptious hors d’oeuvres on silver platters, trays of signature cocktails, and gala dinners.

Attention to detail and uncompromising service are hallmarks of the JW brand, so expect to be pampered here. Weddings ranging in size from intimate restaurant terrace affairs, to ceremonies on the Lagoon Patio, to Ballroom fetes can be crafted to your specifications. Ask about Suite 6200, a private grand suite with a penthouse feel. Experience the thirty-foot cathedral ceilings, marble entry and a majestic sixth-floor balcony overlooking the Southwest Las Vegas Valley.

This is one of the few places in Las Vegas where you can bring your wedding coordinator, photographer and florist to work their magic alongside the fabulous JW event and catering team.
