FAQs

Question

Question

Are children allowed?

Answer

Only those listed on the wedding invite and RSVP’d are invited. As much as we love to include everyone, this event is for 21+ guests.

Question

Where is the wedding?

Answer

The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are located next to each other within the Bellagio. Once you find the Grand Patio at the Bellagio for the ceremony, the Bellagio staff will escort you to the next 2 locations. You can find Bellagio’s resort maps online at: https://bellagio.mgmresorts.com/content/dam/MGM/bellagio/meetings/bellagio-meetings-property-map.pdf

Question

Where should I stay the night?

Answer

We encourage everyone to stay wherever they are most comfortable and within their price range. We recommend the following hotels for easiest walkability to the Bellagio - Flamingo, Linq, Aria, Paris, Caesar’s, Venetian, and MGM. It is easy to get to one hotel to the next within the Las Vegas strip via taxi, walking, or Aria tram monorail. The Bellagio is in the middle of the strip so it is easy to get to. If walking to the wedding, please allow at least an additional 30-45 minutes to get to the wedding as the distance and navigating between the large hotels takes longer than one would expect.

Question

Will there be food and alcohol served?

Answer

Yes! Reception food will be buffet style with different options for salads, sides, entrees, and desserts. We have vegan options available for our plant based friends. Buffet items will also have ingredients listed for food allergies and preferences. Please ask the servers during cocktail hour what passed canapés you’re able to consume if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. We will have an open bar available that will also provide juices, sodas, teas and coffees.

Question

Do you have a wedding registry? Should I bring a card and physical gift?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the only present we need. We deeply appreciate everyone making it out to our wedding to celebrate with us and is everything we could ask for. If you’d like to still provide a gift, we respectfully request to consider not providing any physical gifts that we have to ship home to Virginia, and would deeply appreciate everyone to kindly consider contributing to our honeymoon fund to celebrate 10 years being together and our first week of marriage.

Question

Can I record or take photos with my cellphone/camera or any other personal handheld devices?

Answer

Our deepest wish is to have an unplugged wedding ceremony so our friends and family are present in such a big moment in our lives. We request no personal photos or videos and for all devices to be turned off for the 20 minute ceremony. Please feel free to take photos once the bride and groom exit the ceremony and to record your experience throughout the reception. We hired a phenomenal photography team to capture this very special moment of our lives and hope our guest respect our wish to NOT have cellphones or cameras in our final ceremony photos.
