We’re keeping it short and sweet with a 15-20 min Ceremony, an intimate dinner, and the freedom to enjoy the strip after!
1:30 but please plan ahead to be sitting inside no later than 1:20pm. Michael will begin walking in at 1:30pm, with me to follow shorty after. Please don’t be late since this could be distracting to our special day and you won’t be let in possibly.
WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE THE CHAPEL. We kindly ask for a disconnected ceremony in the BEGINNING & END to avoid phone’s coming out while Karina and Michael walk down the aisle. Don’t worry, our photographers will be there capturing these sweet moments of us walking. HOWEVER, during the middle of ceremony you may discreetly take photos and video.
There is Free Parking at the Ceremony. However, parking could cost around $18 to park near Olive Garden (but should cover you for the whole day if you decide to walk and explore after dinner). If you book at an MGM Resort we strongly advise to make a rewards account to receive discounts and a parking card (about $25 for 24 hours) and this will allow you to park at any MGM hotel on the Strip. For example, the Cosmopolitan, Vdara, MGM Grand, The signature MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, W Las Vegas, Park MGM, The NoMad, New York New York, Luxor, Excalibur, Bellagio, Aria, are all hotel you can park within the 24 hours of your $25 Parking Pass(Card). They also offer free parking at times for Military or if you have a Las Vegas ID.
After dinner, the newlyweds will head off for a photoshoot—still riding the “we did it!” high. Between 5:15 PM and around 8 PM, you’re free to enjoy your evening however you’d like. At approximately 8 PM, a party bus will arrive at the pick-up area at the MGM Grand Hotel to take guests dancing or Fremont Street (Tentative). Each spot for the party bus is ($17-20) and will only seat the first 40 that rsvp for it since that is the largest bus offered in Vegas.
MGM Grand 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
We have a photo session to get to, we have added a TAB with “Things To Do” on the strip. The most Vegas thing to do is gamble, get a Fat Tuesday’s, or walk the strip! :)
No events—honeymoon time! Please say goodbyes on Saturday.
