I simply cannot elaborate enough on how great it was using Scenic Las Vegas Weddings and Photography. When we decided to elope to Las Vegas, I had no idea the difficulties of booking everything via phone and internet. If I had known at the beginning how easy Scenic Las Vegas could make it, I would have called them first and saved myself a ton of stress and headache. They coordinated my wedding site (Las Vegas Sign), researched my Elvis officiant, provided amazing photography and recommedations, arranged a limo for transportation, referred my flowers, the list goes on... all while enduring my "Bridezilla" complex and demands. I could have never arranged our wedding without the help of Scenic Las Vegas. It was absolutely perfect and I will always be grateful for their guidance. Thank you so, so much. For anyone planning a wedding or elopement in Las Vegas, I highly recommend Scenic Las Vegas Weddings and Photography be the first (and only) phone call you make.

Our wedding was so much more than I expected. It was really great. The service prior was great just coordinating everything. The photographer and officiant were really great. They were even extra patient when we tried to wait for 2 of our guest who missed our limo and wound up not making the ceremony. We got our pictures and DVD back in days after the wedding (I did pay for $25 rush). We absolutely love our pics. We got married in front of the Bellagio Fountains. I will say, I didn't realize that we would be a little rushed from the time the limo picked us up to getting in front of the fountains to catch the fountain show for pics. But it was all worth it!
one thing I would suggest is maybe trying to talk to the photographer about the type of pics that you would like. We probably would have liked a little more candid pics and some non-traditional poses which we requested in the end and had some. The amount of pics we got for 1hr were great.

Jaime and Matthew Ellefson, our story...
From a very small town in Wisconsin called, Clinton.
We were married 02/21/2012 in front of the Bellagio Fountains by Scenic Las Vegas Weddings.
Matt and I met in 1998 we dated for a short period of time and broke up. With in the next five years we married other people and had children, neither having a 'real' wedding. Our marriages both failed. I was bar tending at a local bar, when one day Matt walked in and sat down with a friend, I knew who he was instantly. I was divorced at the time for 2 years, Matt in the middle of a divorce. Â He looked up and He also remembered instantly who I was. Â I said, "what can I get for you Matt." his friend asked who I was, and apparently just before walking into my place of employment, they were talking about me, about how Matt should have fought for me back then... How we were good for each other, but he had let me go... After that we had exchanged numbers and have been together ever since. That was 2007.
Our marriage was beautiful, amazing and though in front of an enormous crowd, it was very intimate. Â Melissa was so professional, her civil ceremony made us feel comfortable with our vows. Trey, our photographer was outstanding! Providing us with so many pictures and views! Matt and I still are amazed about how wonderful it all was! Especially going into this blind-folded from a very small town in Wisconsin! Scenic Las Vegas made all of our planning so easy! Everything fell into place so perfectly... And though our day can not be measured materialistic ally, I must say the whole trip was so affordable... And a time we will never forget!
Thank you so much for everything!

We entered to win a Valentine's Day Wedding package that Scenic offered free wedding ceremony's to 25 couples. Jessica called to inform us that we were selected to receive the gazebo wedding package with photography included. We were responsible for transportation to the wedding site and our marriage license. Since this was our first trip to Las Vegas, neither of us knew what to expect. The other wedding chapels that we has researched online looked nothing like they were presented online. Scenic exceeded our expectations. The site was beautiful, and looked exactly like the photos. We receiveed our photos in less than a week after our ceremony. We were very pleased with our ceremony and photography.

When I got engaged I let my hubby to be pick the city, he picked Vegas. So then I picked the date, New Years Eve, and then came all the researching for the prefect company and perfect location. I read so many reviews on all the different companies out in Vegas, and then I came across Scenic Las Vegas Weddings. Within minutes I called up the company to book my dream wedding. Jessica and Melissa were fabulous! Melissa and I exchanged numerous emails with where to stay, where to get my flowers and make up. Every time I called in (which was a lot) Jessica would add to my order whatever I needed. I knew I was in great hands with this company.
We arrive in Vegas and get a lovely phone call from Jessica asking us where the limos need to be on our big day. I didn’t want hubby to see me before the wedding so we had one limo at one end of the strip and the other at my hotel. Both limos showed up on time and the boys limo left on time…we were more fashionably late. Once we arrived everyone was ready to go, I met Trey he told me exactly when to get out of the limo and when to walk to soon to be hubby. The wedding was so simple and beautiful. Trey took the most amazing pictures and we even had him laughing as we were cutting up. We went up to the Apex and took more pictures as the sun was setting over Vegas. Then off to the Vegas sign to even get some pictures with Elvis. I couldn’t have asked for anything better! It was so nice to just sit back and relax and enjoy our big day thanks to Scenic Las Vegas Weddings.

My husband and I were married at Seven Sisters in Valley of Fire State Park on December 22, 2011. We chose to have a private ceremony to be followed by a party for friends and family at a later date, so I can't comment on the services or venue for a large group. We were married just before sunset and the setting was spectacular. The photos on the website really can't do it justice- it was beautiful, serene, and just what we were looking for.
We reserved our ceremony date about three months in advance. Melissa was our officiant and Trey was the photographer. We had a very positive experience with Scenic Las Vegas Weddings, from their prompt response to questions by phone and e-mail all the way through the fast delivery of our beautiful photographs on DVD. We also really liked our driver, BJ, who was prompt, courteous, and friendly.
We chose to have a civil ceremony and I was astounded by how heartfelt and meaningful Melissa's words were. Despite the fact that we had just met and they do many weddings, it felt very personal. Her words were kind and thoughtful and she incorporated many passages that set the perfect tone for a couple committing to married life. She has a gentle, sincere demeanor that we both really appreciated and it was clear that she has put a lot of time and thought into developing a meaningful ceremony.
Trey took incredible photographs that captured not only the beauty of our surroundings but also our personalities and feelings on that day. Friends who have seen the photographs said that they felt like they were right there witnessing the wedding. Although his approach may seem a bit abrupt and curt at first, he has a perfect sense of the timing with the quickly falling light and helps to keep things moving so you get every shot you wanted, and then some. We ended up having a lot of fun with the photos. He had no problem doing a rush order for the photo DVD and it was waiting for us when we returned from our honeymoon.
All in all it was a great experience and I would not hesitate to recommend Scenic Las Vegas Weddings to a friend. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

We had a great time on our weekend Get-Married getaway! Scenic Las Vegas Weddings was AMAZING! They took care of all of our Valley of Fire Wedding details- complete with wonderful vows by Rev. Gary Frankland and marvelous photography by Trey Tomsik! Our limo driver even gave the girls and I roses when he dropped us at the hotel... They went above and beyond to make sure our once-in-a-lifetime day went flawlessly- even with us 3 states away until the day before!

We were married on July 23, 2011, organised by Scenic Las Vegas Weddings. A huge thank you to Melissa for making it easy, fast and perfect! We couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Everything went smoothly, especially considering we only met Melissa and Maria (the Minister) for the first time 15 mins before the ceremony, and the photos were wonderful! Can't recommend them enough!

I just wanted to thank Melissa, Trey, and Karolyn. We were married May 9,2011 and had a great day thanks to a great team. We were married at the gazebo near thier location. The ceremony was great, the pictures and DVD were exceptional. The park was a lovely setting with the roses that had just come in bloom. After the ceremony we went to Red Rock Canyon and spent the afternoon. For anyone considering that as a venue for their photographs I would certainly reccommend it.
Once again thank you,

My husband and I were married at the Scenic Las Vegas on April 30th, 2011. There are two words I found to express my experience AWESOME and AWESOME! The Limo Driver was very accomodating and courteous. He made me feel like a princess when he said " I feel like I need to be taking you to Hollywood,". Just a great guy all the way around.....very accommodating. The Minister made sure I was given options to how I wanted my ceremony to go. I am a religious person and with everything I do I give thanks and honor to GOD and when she asked if I wanted to begin and end with prayer meant so much to me. Thank you Minister Gold and may GOD continue to annoint you. The photographer Melissa is just AWESOME.......She did such a great job with the photos. I was very excited to see how quickly they shipped the photos to us. Melissa was patient and I know us Brides can be a hand full. Thank you for making sure we got to the Lake for photos, that was most special on my list. Thanks to the entire staff at Scenic Las Vegas. We all know how it is shopping from the internet. Sometimes the expectations are not exactly what we expect them to be. I can't say enough about our experience with Scenic Las Vegas from initial website viewing, phone calls to the actual ceremony. The entire experience was GREAT!!!!!!!! Thanks for making sure that we knew exactly what to do to make sure the ceremony went without a beat. Again, thank ALL of the Scenic Las Vegas Staff for making our day special and memorable.
Sincerely,
Robert and Bridgette

I had my wedding through Scenic Las Vegas and it was wonderful! I am really glad that I chose Scenic Las Vegas. Karolyn was so easy to work with and very friendly---she did a great job coordinating everything for me. I chose the Vegas Strip package---1 site, for a ceremony in my suite at The Cosmopolitan on the balcony overlooking the Belagio fountains. The minister was professional, on-time and did a beautiful job. The ceremony felt very intimate and personal. I also chose the Neon Sign (Boneyard) photoshoot. Trey, our photographer was fantastic. Really nice and chill, and my husband really liked that he was easy going, it helped him feel comfortable with the photo shoot. Our pictures came out awesome, everyone said it was the best wedding pictures they have ever seen. I loved everything about my wedding, I also got a video to take home to show my family, have beautiful and unique pictures on a CD, and can print as much as I want! Thank you so much Scenic Las Vegas! If I could do it over again, I would chose Scenic Las Vegas!!!

Scenic Las Vegas Weddings made our special day perfect. Though they could not control the 30mph winds, they worked around it. Karolynn answered all our questions in a timely fashion. Melissa, the photographer, was patient and fantastic. Thank you for the great pictures and the greatest day ever. Thank you for taking the worry out of our wedding day, while trying to plan a wedding out of state. Our ceremony was extremely personal and intimate. Thank you.

We were married 02-22-2011 In the Valley of Fire , We could not have been happier with our wedding day and the planning thru Scenic Las Vegas Weddings. Above and beyond what we ever expected. I had emailed them after normal buisness hours to book them for our wedding date and they called to answer all my questions within minutes .. Caroyln was very professional and helpful with picking our wedding package, hair and any other needs to make our day perfect. Melissa preformed the wedding ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony and well said. She took the time to find out what type of ceremony we wanted. She visited with our guests while we took pictures after wedding which they all mentioned was wonderful. Trey (the photograper) Was very kind, professional, and experianced. Our pictures were beautiful, stunning, breathtaking. He also made a video of the wedding ceremony. The video of our wedding and our pictures came very quick and we are 100% happy with the finnished pictures and video. If your thinking about getting married in Las Vegas I would HIGHLY recommend Scenic Las Vegas Weddings ! We are already planning another trip out there to do one of the grand canyon tours that they also offer

Scenic Las Vegas Weddings was the answers to my prayers!!!
I spent countless hours surfing the net for the perfect wedding venue; site, photographer, flowers, hair/makeup, and all for a reasonable price. This is not an easy feat.
Our wedding was thrown into an already full vacation, so finding exactly what we wanted within our price point was difficult. Though the wedding chapels promote reasonable rates, they do not include photos. Or if they do, they are limited (20 to 40 4x6 prints). Additional prints and larger prints are an additional charge. If you want all your photos on a CD, that is another additional cost (starting at $500 and up).
Just when I thought all was lost (and my stress level was through the roof), I found Scenic Las Vegas Weddings. It was like hitting the trifecta. Trey is a master photographer. His wife, Melissa, is an ordained Minister and a photographer. Karolynn, the office tech, is knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. She answered all my questions, not to mention the ones I hadn’t thought of yet. She also set up phone meetings with the florist and hair/makeup stylist. (these are independent contractors that work closely with Scenic. See my reviews for A Twisted Tulip and Lakeside Bridal for their reviews).
We had a 4 pm wedding that allowed us to have day and evening pictures; as the hubby wanted the Bellagio fountain at night. Being a 4 pm wedding, we were required to book a minimum of three locations (including the ceremony location). This was not a problem. Had we had more time, we would have selected 4 to 5 different locations for pictures as it is hard to choose from all the great photos on their website. Trey was our photographer and Melissa our Minister. The photos rock and Melissa did a great job on our Christian ceremony; she read a few verses from the Bible that made me cry and gave us a great blessing. Trey is very easy to work with; just let him know what you want. Our limo driver was great also (I forget his name.)
Their website is also fantastic; Scenic has numerous photos of previous ceremonies allowing you to get a good idea of they work, where to have your pictures taken, and at what time to have the ceremony. They do ceremonies/pics on The Strip, Fremont St, Neon Sign Museum, Valley of Fire and Red Rock State Parks and of course in front of the Famous Las Vegas Welcome Sign, various chapels/gazebos, etc.
Summary: great service, ceremony, pics, flowers, hair/makeup; all for under $1400, including tips!!! (and they don’t ask for tips unlike what I read from reviews for other locations).
