Madison & Andrew Take Las Vegas!

When traveling from Atlanta to Las Vegas you generally think fun desert vibes, not cold and rainy. And yet, it always works out just exactly as it's supposed to!

I had the pleasure of meeting Madison as a Maid of Honor for another wedding in 2024 (Congratulations again to Karis & Zack!). The biggest thank you, is when a MOH thinks you did such an awesome job they want to take you to Vegas with them for their micro wedding!

After almost a year of planning from across the county it was finally time to get on the plane (in the middle of flight restrictions, what's one more thing to worry about), and celebrate Madison & Andrew officially. Grandpa didn't want to risk a flight chance, and DROVE across the country! He truly was not taking any chances of missing such a fun weekend.

They were joined with about 35 guests in tow, to Las Vegas for FUN weekend. The goal was to keep it fun and light, yes they're getting married, but that's just a formality for a fun weekend.

Madison & Andrew had a beautiful suite at The Venetian. Why yes, it was our tower that was out of water on Friday; but thankfully back on before we went to Mon Ami Gabi at Paris for rehearsal dinner with family. After dinner we enjoyed some light gambling, and always nice to be 'up' before your wedding day!

Saturday morning after the girls were ready with Meg & Makeup in the 702, we had family met us at The Venetian for pictures. We were dodging rain, but these moody vibes were even more fun. Brandi with Wander and Dusk was just the best to work with, making quick work, and being flexible for all the moving parts and weather. Running into a few other couples around the property, and having everyone shout 'Congratulations!' makes you feel like a celebrity for the day!

Madison & Andrew said their I Do's at Sure Thing Chapel, and then had fun with photo booth and all the vinettes around Fremont Street. The Old Vegas excitement and lights still hit!

Guests then had dinner, drinks and danced part of the night away at We All Scream. While not the rooftop we planned for reception, was nice to have everyone together, and an amazing plan B. The staff was so flexible and accommodating, quick with a flip, and the service was STELLAR!

We All Scream provided the food, cake pops included, DJ and bar services. We had (3) signature drinks. His - Moscow Mule with copper mugs, Hers - Ranch Water, and Beans (their cute kitty) - Espresso Martini. We also had adorable kitty cocktail stirrers for everyone.

Another adorable touch was for our 'guestbook' we had everyone sign a playing card from a deck. Love when we can embrace a theme, or our venue and lean into all the fun parts!

After a couple of hours of dancing and fun, we let everyone choose their own adventure from here. Tired and want to go back to the hotel? Done. Want to gamble or grab In and Out? Done. Want to continue to party and have fun? Done.

Madison & Andrew went up to the rooftop and read their personal vows to each other in a light drizzle. Madison immediately commented 'just like when you proposed to me!' Which turned out to be the perfect nightcap to the reception.

We all make plans, and life happens. No, it wasn't a hot November day in the desert, but it was perfect for Madison & Andrew anyway. They had an amazing crew around them, great vendor team, and the BEST attitudes. Truly just happy to make it official, and be married!

A massive thank you and shoutout to our vendors, we can't do with without you!

Just goes to show you, this day is for you! It can be as casual, or formal as you want it to be. We're here to help you, and your guests celebrate as you have in mind!

Congratulations again to the Bartons!
