Flamingo gaRDEN chapel
We originally wanted an outdoor venue on the strip with the ability to have our own photographer so we decided on the flamingo gazebo chapel for our ceremony. On my scouting trip, I found out that Flamingo had remodelled their indoor chapel and I fell in love with it. So we changed to the indoor garden chapel.
We have got the cheapest package and have paid the $150 outside vendor fee to bring in our own photographer, videographer, officiant ($50 fee) and florist. The chapel coordinator Jazmin Toma has been excellent to deal with and responds to emails very quickly. We considered a few other chapels including:
- Mandalay Bay Valley of the Falls (Beautiful location, but outside of budget and no external photography)
- Caesars Palace Gardens (No weddings on Mondays)
- Chapel of the Flowers (no outside photography and no photography allowed by guests)
- Wynn wedding salons (outside of budget)
- Tropicana gardens (location on strip not ideal)
All of these venues are absolutely gorgeous but we are very happy we have decided to go with the Flamingo.
