Griffin Mansions

Griffin Mansions is amazingly beautiful! They've been so helpful and understanding. Desiree made everything so simple and easy going. I would recommend Griffin to anyone along with her!

Everything was wonderful! We all had an amazing time at griffin mansions! Everyone did an amazing job and I loved the Dj. The photographer was great and the food was execellent! I will defiantly reccomend griffin to all my friends and family.

Our wedding day was the most perfect day of our lives! everything from the planning to the tasting of our food menu was outstanding. As a woman, I was the most calm of any bride to be ever! Everyone at Griffin made sure that every detail and option was offered and approved by me. I woke up on the day of my wedding excited and ready to see it all come along! I was not dissapointed! every second of this experience was worth every dime! I thank them so much for their caringness and hard work. My husband didnt want the night to end. Best decision I have ever made was chosing Griffin. Thank You!

Griffin, Thank you so much for everything! All our guests had an amazing time and we had a blast. We couldn't have thought of a better place to have our wedding celebration! Tahnks again especially to Desiree and Erica who havw been extremely helpfull through the whole process.

Griffin Events made our special day worry free and very elegant. All the questions we had leading up to our wedding day were handled accurately and on time. My wife was totally able to concentrate on being in the moment and not worrying about details. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We love you all!

We found Griffin Mansions and it was everything that we ever wanted. Vitruvian was beautiful but Polaris was exactly what we wanted. All of our family continued to come up to us and tell us how amazing and impressed they were and there is no other place in Vegas like this! They want to have there 25th anniversary there. The food was amazing and any time I had a question someone was always was there. I am speechless. My dress broke and Desiree was right there to help to fix it. From the small details to the large details. It was absolutely amazing!

To all at Griffin Events: Navery and I were unsure as to the outcome associated with planning a destination wedding so far from home. However, we had the most amazing experience with everyone with whom we came in contact with during our special event at Griffin Mansions. We are aware that not only the people we were blessed to meet, there were several team members working behind the scene to make this day possible. From the planning process throughout the actual event we have had nothing but a positive, exciting, and pleasurable experience. We were pleased beyond our expectations (which were high to begin with) and would definitely have our Las Vegas events (family reunions, showers, birthdays and anniversary parties) planned and provided by Griffin in the future. They have the most elegant venues, exceptional team, more than accommodating, compassionate, and understanding planners and coordinators, a fabulous chef (the food was delicious and visually appealing as well), the DJ kicked butt, Jackie the floral arrangements were not only unique but breathtaking, I loved the orchids, and the bartender was friendly and fun...Overall the most memorable experience of a lifetime. Not just because it was our wedding, it truly was an absolutely amazing and stunning weekend to remember. We flew completely across the US to have our wedding at Polaris Mansion and were more than impressed with the level of professionalism abilities and endless personalized possibilities granted by the Griffin Events team to make our DREAM wedding a REALITY. We cannot say anything negative about this experience...Top of the line from A to Z. They have definitely outdone themselves and we are abundantly grateful to all who were a part of our special day. Griffin made sure that all of our desires were met without surprising us with an unexpected bill at nights end; they are very upfront as to what to expect, and you get more than your money's worth with them, worth every penny! Compared to all of the other venues this is the best thing Las Vegas has standing if you want the special treatment they provide for you and your guests! Can't wait to get our pictures back so I can relive the moments over and over again... Special thanks to Cynthia, Bonnie, Portia, and Eric for taking care of us to the fullest! You guys ROCK! Thank you soooooooo much!

Our wedding at the Vitruvian was more than we could have asked for. The staff went above and beyond to make our day the most memorable day of our lives. I highly recommend Griffin Mansions to anyone planning a wedding.

Thank you Griffin Staff!!! Portia, Des & Bonnie…thank you so much for all of your help. The day was amazing. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. The ceremony was a beautiful setting. The reception felt very intimate and homey. It felt as if we were at our own home celebrating with family & friends. The all- inclusive service helped a lot with the planning. There were only a few outsiders that we had to deal with. Everyone that attended our wedding said it was beautiful place to have a wedding. I was in a stress free zone and was not nervous at all!! Griffin is the place to have a wedding!!! Awesome service provided to Keoni & I along with our family & friends. Mahalo-

My wedding day was perfect, I could have asked for less wind but moving the ceremony inside did not take anything away from the day. It went by way too fast, it is all kind of a blur. A blur of kind words, a few tears, family and friends together who have not seen one another for a long time, dancing, laughter, and just an overall memorable experience no one will soon forget. Even after the wedding guests are still telling me what a great time they had, they loved the venue, and the food was great. The evening was well choerographed, if there was ever a problem I never knew about it. It was a great night, I just wish it would have gone on forever!

Such a beautiful place to have a wedding. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond. This is the perfect place to have a wedding.

Our March wedding at the Vitruvian Mansion was spectacular! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The mansion staff was very well organized and managed our event flawlessly, which made the bride and grooms job easier. The flower arrangements for the ceremony and the reception were beyond gorgeous; they really made the event come together. The DJ and the photographer were very professional and kept everyone organized when the time came. The chef delivered a very tasty meal and everyone enjoyed the amazingly flavored chocolate cake. We can’t thank the mansion enough for making our special day so perfect!

It was really wonderful at Griffin. Staff paid attention to us. Staff was great with timing and making sure everyone was where they needed to be. The floral arrangements were beautiful and the food was amazing! We had a wonderful time! Griffin Events was great!

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A huge thank you to Portia, Eric, Desiree and Andrew and everybody else that made our wedding better than we ever dreamed it could be. It was absolutely perfect, and it was all thanks to you. So we hope you accept our rudely belated thank you, but we just wanted to let everybody at Griffin Events know how appreciative we are of everything everybody did and how unbelievably happy we are at how everything turned out. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And we can't wait to see the pictures!

For months I searched for a wedding venue and package that was everything I was looking for. I struggled to find a place that took care of everything and then, I found Griffin Events. I can’t say enough about what an amazing job there staff did in creating my special day. From the food to the venue everything turned out phenomenal. Griffin Events took such great care of me and my family on my wedding and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a staff that can do it all! They provided me with every option and resource and made it easy planning every detail. The venues they offer cater to any type of wedding big or small and I was so happy with the location I picked, it was my dream wedding. Griffin offers a hair and makeup package that I loved, they did a great job with all of my bridal party and it was so nice to have it on site. The staff was so attentive to everyone at the wedding and made sure that my husband and I got to enjoy every moment. Griffin Events is a unique company in which all the staff do a wonderful job in creating the perfect day for you. They offer packages to suit every type of wedding and bring all the vendors to you, I hope that you choose Griffin Events because they will make your wedding perfect!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to have our wedding. The food was great and the staff was amazing. Thank you for making this a wonderful time for us.

There is value with Griffin Mansions, my event was at the Vitruvian. I was happy with my wedding day, but in retrospect I may have made another decision. Good things: cost is very reasonable, timing - rent the mansion for the entire day, no limits on what time to arrive to get ready, guests enjoyed the location, recommended DJ did a great job, Food was fabulous Bad things: provided transportation was a mess - delayed the wedding by 1 hour, 50% of the staff acted like assisting you is a bother, toilet backed up in the bridal suite while we were getting ready, they chose to do a photo shoot on property the day of my wedding, after I explicitly stated no tip jars on the open bar - they were out- I asked for them to be removed and later learned they were out all night. I expected the grounds to look better on the wedding day, I should have assumed how they were presented on various visits was how they would appear on wedding day. Food - started out as a nightmare, I liked very much that you could create your own menu. My groom and I are very much "foodies", this was a very important aspect of our wedding. The first tasting we went to the chef was AWFUL and not helpful. The initial response to my complaints were not addressed in a timely fashion. However, 3 weeks later the F&B director and newly hired chef went to one of my favorite restaurants to get a feel for what I was talking about and did create an incredible menu after that. The day of the wedding the chef and his staff were outstanding! The food was impeccable and the rave of the guests. The chef went above and beyond; creating an incredible lunch for myself and the bridal party that was just as good as the evenings meal. I speak very highly of Chef Jared and would make sure he is still available if looking at this venue.

Where do I begin?!?! Let me start off by saying when we came across the Griffin, I thought that we made an AWESOME DECISION! But a little into the process our calls/e-mails were not being returned and it was very frustrating especially when you are trying to plan a destination wedding, you can not just drive to the office and meet with someone when you have concerns. We were married on 09/09/09, we booked the venue in early February, we had our choice of either of their mansions. We choice the Polaris because we liked the outside space the best. Since we were having a destination wedding we did most of our decision making via phone. On 8/14/09 we had our tasting. On this day we were to make all our final arrangements…..flowers, foods, liquor, photographer, Officiant etc. Well, our Videographer & Officiant were there and very professional and it was a pleasure to meet them. But we had some concerns about our photographer, we were going to hire our own as we had done with other three vendors, but I was assured that they would send me their best, so I upgraded our photo package to cover the remainder of our wedding day. We did meet one of the photographers and saw his work and we were pleased. Well, the day of the wedding I guess they sent that photographer to their other venue and sent us a substitute. Well, he was not an experienced photographer and he cut the top of my husband's head off on most of our photos. He missed so many precious moments, because instead of taking pictures he was admiring his work. It was the most horrible experience ever! I am so disappointed that I let them talk me into using the photographer. When I sent e-mails voicing our disappoint to the Manager Eric, they had their lawyer contact me. And she was very condescending. Now, anyone who has ever seen a wedding album knows that there are certain photos that you expect to see. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE PHOTOS THAT YOU EXPECT TO SEE IN A TYPICAL WEDDING ALBUM. Trust me when I tell you!. I will forever remember my wedding as a lost opportunity to have the wedding photos that we hoped and expected. Thank goodness for our Videographer or our special moments would have forever been lost. Other details…..it was entirely too hot in the venue. I think they waited until right before we got there to put on the AC. My wedding party had to set up our favors on the table, even though I was told that they would do it, but the day of the event they did not. They also misplaced some of my favors, which they had to go looking for 90 minutes before the wedding was set to start. If you decide to use this venue, look forward to being frustrated at times. Hire you own vendors…Trust me (we hired our own Officiant, Videographer & transportation and we were absolutely ecstatic with them)! Yes, the flowers, location & food were amazing. And Desiree is the saving GEM, if not for her, I THINK WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO TAKE THEM TO COURT! Anyone who is interested in seeing photos or e-mails (I have at least 50) that I have to back up my review, I will be more than happy to share. They made a beautiful day, not so beautiful and for this I will be forever SAD! We just received our wedding album in January 2011. We got married on 09/09/09. The first album they sent my first name was spelled incorrectly, they put a slash in between my maiden and new last name and did not even add my husbands name at all. So it looked like I married myself. And they sent it to me like this. Attention to detail is definitely not their strong point! That was in September 2010 a year after we got married. We were supposed to get photos with our package. They had to reprint them 2 times because they kept cutting my husbands head off in the print. They were supposed to reprint a third time, but we never received it, so we just gave up!

The venue was beautiful and it provided a very unique atmosphere for the guests. Everyone commented on the arrangement and how nice the layout, decorations, and flowers were. The staff was always very nice and accommodating with my family's schedule. The food was delicious, but it was not prepared the way we had asked at the tasting. We were a little disappointed by that. Throughout the experience, there was a lack of communication. Emails would often take 2-3 weeks for a response, leaving me anxious. It made planning difficult and I often found myself sending multiple emails in order to get an answer. The day of the event was very hectic (as expected) but we ran into a few glitches...(1) One of the shuttles was an hour late which delayed our ceremony. This caused us to miss the sunset during the ceremony and also shortened our reception time with our guests. (2) The microphone did not work properly during speeches, so my husband and I could not see the person giving the speech...we could only hear them from around the corner. This also delayed the reception because we had to wait quite awhile outside for them to announce the bridal party coming in (3) During the upbeat dancing, we had requested certain songs be played for our guests and they were not, in fact, there were songs played that we hadn't even asked for and didn't care for. (4) We did a sand ceremony, in place of the unity candles, and our vases from that ceremony were lost. Luckily a week later, when I went to the site myself, they were found. When I had called for their retrieval prior to that, no one seemed to be able to find them. It took me having to show up unannounced to get them back. This was very stressful because this was a very important part of our ceremony for both of us, however, we were very happy to have the vases eventually returned. What made our wedding perfect was the fact that we had each other, our family and friends. The night was beautiful and despite the glitches, we still had an amazing wedding.
