The Springs Preserve is one of the loveliest settings we could hope for - the gardens are especially beautiful and need very little help to be ceremony-ready. The flowers, trees, and paths are gorgeous on their own, nearly every time of year.
The event team did a great job providing tables, chairs, parking and signage too - our guests loved being able to visit. From a logistical standpoint, the event team got everything right.
However - we were sometimes frustrated by the preserve's additional rules and regulations, and I STRONGLY suggest that if you are not the type of bride or groom who can accept the restrictions that a state museum comes with, you look for another venue. You will be strictly limited in your choice of vendors, you will have additional expenses due to the site's requirements, and you will be surprised at how often and freely the preserve will just tell you "no" when you have a request. Their first priority is the preservation of their site, not the accommodation of their customers, and while I understood why they took that position, it could often be frustrating and felt limiting.
Some examples: we could not have candles at our reception. Our guests could not smoke anywhere on the grounds at all (lengthy walk to the parking lot for the smokers). We were not permitted to take any wedding photos in the butterfly enclosure (despite being told by the docents previously that they thought it would be alright), etc.
We knew what we were getting into and we graciously accepted these limits, but even so, it sometimes got frustrating. If you are the type of bride or groom who needs everything to be JUST SO - this is probably not the venue for you!
From our guests' perspective - the place was perfection. They found it breathtaking and magical. Everything they needed was provided perfectly - the staff on site were especially welcoming and supportive.
If you want an amazing, gorgeous outdoor space with very convenient access to both downtown Las Vegas and the Strip, a place with history and class that captures all the beauty of the desert - then the Springs Preserve is absolutely wonderful. We loved being there, and we were grateful to have access to the gorgeous, meaningful setting. But definitely go into it knowing that access to the museum does not come with free reign.
We got married at the Springs Preserve in September 2017. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there. Being able to have everything at the Springs Preserve made it so easy for us and our guests. It is a perfect little oasis for those looking for something different here in Las Vegas. Many of our guests hadn't been there before- and they were all blown away by how beautiful the venue was.
Beautiful wedding venue! We didn't want a typical Las Vegas wedding venue. Springs Preserve fit the bill. We had our ceremony at the Garden Arboretum and the reception at the Cafe. We had a wonderful experience!
We were a bit worried that you could only use their caterer, but that worry quickly dissipated after our tasting. The food was delicious! We had a hard time narrowing down our choices. I would recommend this venue!
Springs Preserve was an absolutely beautiful venue to have a wedding. We had our ceremony and reception there. It was perfect for us and had great photo opportunities. You must use their caterer, Divine Events. The waitstaff and food were excellent. The only negative was a problem with communication. My original Springs Preserve wedding coordinator left the job and no one ever followed up with me as my wedding got closer. I never did meet my new venue coordinator, but my husband said he may have seen her at the wedding. None the less, everything ran smoothly and the Springs Preserve security staff was very friendly and ensured that no outsiders interrupted our wedding. We had a wonderful day and it could not have been a better venue.
The venues was beautiful. Worth the money. You cannot find a more beautiful place to get married. The catering company was a bit of a challenge, due to issues with communication. The food was great and worth the challenge. I would highly recommend the Springs Preserve.
We loved the springs preserve, it was the beat outdoor venue we can find that's not too far of a drive for family and friends who are coming in from out of town and staying on the strip. The springs preserve was a beautiful venue and with the flowers blooming in the spring it resulted in great pictures. We had a late May, late afternoon wedding at the arboretum...it was a little hot I must say but thankfully the ceremony was not that long. Unfortunately there was a chnage in caterers a couple months before our wedding and we were only made aware a month prior, and we had to change our menus. It was so hard to get answers and there was a lot of back and forth just to get details finalize.
You won't finda more beautiful place in Vegas. It is expensive. It is worth it. Use tory Cooper for your coordinator.
I am rating before my wedding because of the Service. If you're considering this venue I say Great for the Ceremony! Ms. Pietra is great! They are busy, but she is kind and I did not have any issues working with her. If I was just rating this place for the ceremony and working with her it would be a 5.
However I would recommend taking your Reception somewhere else because working with their catering company is not worth the hassel. We have gone through 4 different people with their catering team. And they do not offer up information. Getting information from them is like pulling teeth!! The communication just doesn't meet even decent expectations. I had the choice of going here or going to the Platinum for our reception and we went here.. Now I am regretting it. I asked before we set up if there were any charges other than what they list and I was told no because the 20% service charge AND 10% admin fee covers it.
Now I'm told about the cake cutting quote "this is not an extra charge, this is an extra service." I know there are places that charge cake cutting fee's, so I was diligent about asking places about their fees when we were making our venue decisions. If they were up front with ALL of their information, I probably wouldn't be writing this, but finding out information through the whole process has been a pain and I think it is dishonest to add charges in later. Also they were a little frustrated with us because I kept having to ask questions as we went along. If ALLL Information was made easily available it would probably save them and their potential brides a lot of frustration and time. So I just don't think they are managed as effectively as they could be. I'm hoping in the end everything will finally come together okay, and I am relieved to see other reviewers say their food is good. Bottom Line Up Front though is if I had to do it over, I would do my reception at the Platinum.
Just FYI- the Platinum hotel was great with the communication we had with them, and their package was inclusive and easy. I would take a look at them for your reception. We thought we were going to save some money going with the Springs preserve, but in the end we aren't.
The Springs Preserve was the perfect place for me, I wanted a beautiful outdoors wedding and was adamant about not having my wedding in a casino. I looked at other venues before committing but none stacked up.
There were some challenges along the way, the person who originally toured us gave us false information. The menu changed, a cake-cutting fee got added in and prices went up.
It was difficult to get in touch with the on-site team and communication was sometimes difficult and unclear.
There is an additional charge for a lot of things (linens, draping to cover office doors,etc.). A day of coordinator is required (they recommended a great one, but nonetheless it was another unexpected expense).
In the end it all came together and it was beautiful... the service at our wedding was great and they were all very attentive.
The food was also very good but you have to use their caterer without exception.
Overall, the Springs Preserve is a beautiful natural place to host your wedding but you may face some unexpected costs and they are not open to negotiating (or at least they weren't with us).
Also, it is hard to get cabs too and from the venue so setting up transportation for your guests may be necessary if you have a lot of out of towners!
Springs Preserve was the perfect location for out outdoor wedding. Not only were are the grounds beautiful, but the staff went above-and-beyond to make sure all of the details of our big day were exactly what we hoped for. I was a little bit nervous about the food since we weren't able to taste anything beforehand, but everything was delicious and better than we expected. We are still getting compliments from guests! It was definitely more expensive than we had originally budgeted for but totally worth it! My advice for future brides- pay attention to the small print (they add a 10% admin fee and a 20% service fee to your total) and ask for a cost breakdown of all of the upgrades (linens, bar, etc.)
We had such a wonderful experience. We love the Springs and visit there often. It is so beautiful and such a change of pace for a Las Vegas wedding- nature set right in the heart of the city. The food was amazing, which was very important to us. We are still getting compliments about the menu. There was plenty and they kept refreshing so no one missed out on anything. The staff was professional and helpful. Really, I have no complaints and highly recommend the Springs!
The moment I stepped onto the grounds at the Springs Preserve, I knew that I couldn’t consider any other location for my wedding. I knew I had to book far in advance because dates were booking up fast, and I was thrilled to find out that they were available on my date. I met with a wonderful wedding planner and everything went very smoothly…I thought I was all set. Eight months before the wedding, I learned that Springs Preserve was changing caterers and my heart sank. About a month of panic went by during which I really wasn’t sure if I’d have to scrap all my original plans and start from scratch. Luckily, the staff at Springs Preserve worked really hard to keep us on their books and they were very flexible. There were moments, particularly when we were being shuffled from contact to contact, when my husband and I considered changing our venue. However, we luckily had tons of time to work with the venue and made some key decisions about our wedding coordination that ended up really serving us well and balancing out any communication issues that we had. Despite all the fits and starts, I don’t regret staying with the Springs Preserve. My wedding was gorgeous, flowed smoothly and the food was EXCELLENT. The Culinary Training Academy put out amazing food and the waitstaff were more than attentive and professional – they added to the fun of the event. All in all, I would recommend this venue; I just encourage all brides to be proactive, persistent but flexible, and organized during the planning process.
Working with the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas was a nightmare. When we started looking at venues, Wolfgang Puck provided all the wedding services and they were awesome. The day I signed my contract, Culinary Arts Catering took over and they do terrible business and do not respect or value their clients.
I won't go into too many details, but the communication was terrible (I would often never receive a response to my emails), their organization skills pitiful, and their ability to deliver what they said they would was abysmal.
Having said that, my wedding was fantastic because the food was good, and DJ Harry was also good (after a few missteps). The venue is gorgeous and I don't regret doing my wedding there.
Culinary Arts Catering needs to take a few lessons on how to correctly deal with clients. I would NEVER do business with them again
The Springs Preserve is by far the most beautiful and unique venue in Las Vegas, however the change in catering management from Wolfgang Puck to Culinary Arts Catering was a NIGHTMARE! The customer service was handled very poorly, I had to call them and email them repeatedly and answer the same questions over and over again. We had luckily booked a package with Wolfgang Puck that included almost everything for the wedding which was honored by Culinary Arts; the new pricing is ridiculously expensive and they charge for everything! All that being said, our wedding turned out amazing, they pulled it together that day and everything was beautiful.
I worked with Michelle, the coordinator. She was an absolute pleasure. After my husband and I toured the location, we just fell in love with it. We had always wanted an outdoor wedding, but something that was beautiful. We had a morning wedding at the Gardens Arboretum and we got so many compliments of the venue. The wedding was in mid March and the plants were just starting to come into blooms so it was slightly less colorful than we hoped for but, we were told before we booked it that it would be that way. So I can't fault them for that. Michelle, kept in touch the entire time, making sure everything was how I wanted it. Everything just seemed to flow really well. I have recommended it to a few others and they have all loved it. They also have different wedding sites available too.
