We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect wedding reception venue than Velveteen Rabbit. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew this place was something special. It’s not your traditional venue—it’s a stylish, one-of-a-kind bar with an incredible vibe, and it gave our wedding the personal, unforgettable feel we were hoping for. Christina and her full team were responsive, amenable, and hospitable. I wish I could relive this night over and over again.

My husband and I got married in October and held our reception at Velveteen Rabbit. From the beginning, communicating with Christina was seamless—she was incredibly responsive and patient with all my questions.
The venue itself is amazing; it has such a unique vibe that we barely needed any additional decorations.
On the day of the event, staff greeted our guests with welcome cocktails, which were delicious and set the tone for the evening. All the cocktails were exceptional, and our guests had a great time exploring the creative seasonal drink options.
The staff was outstanding—kind, attentive, and proactive. No one ever had an empty glass.
Through Velveteen Rabbit we also hired a tattoo artist, Jenna Ricciardi from Lawless Atelier. She offered pre-selected flash tattoos to our guests. It was such a hit that we had to set up a draw because so many people were eager to get inked.
Our only regret was not renting the space for a longer period, as the three hours flew by.
I can’t recommend Velveteen Rabbit highly enough. It’s the perfect spot to host an event, and we’re excited to return for cocktails during bar hours the next time we’re in Las Vegas.

I can’t brag enough about our wedding that we had at the Rabbit! Christina and Pamela were absolutely wonderful in helping my husband and I in planning our day. The atmosphere, the cocktails, and the service my guests and I received were above and beyond. Everything was so perfect, and I have the Velveteen Rabbit to help thank for that!

We very recently hosted our wedding reception at Velveteen Rabbit!
In one word I could only describe our experience as PERFECT.
We could not have hoped for a better venue and experience.
My now husband and I booked Velveteen by recommendation from our Chapel (Sure Thing). We immediately took to Instagram to scour their page. From pictures we were quickly drawn to the atmosphere and vibe of Velveteen.
Quickly we reached out by email to inquire about use of their space.
Travelling from Canada to Vegas for our wedding we relied on remote communication throughout our planning.
Christina was our main point of contact and was simply the most wonderful individual.
She was kind, patient, and attentive when answering my MANY questions. I knew instantly that Velveteen was the perfect reception space for our small wedding.
Communication was quick, clear, and consistent. It was very easy to get ahold of Velveteen and they were always so lovely in conversation.
Christina was happy to provide recommendations for both our wedding day and our stay in Vegas!
Thanks to her we booked the best pizza vendor, Good Pie!
Fast forward to the day of our wedding. We were absolutely FLOORED when we walked into Velveteen.
Only seeing pictures beforehand, we knew we loved the space, but actually being there was something else.
The space is beautifully intimate and makes you feel instantly at home.
The manager Danielle took the absolute BEST care of us throughout the evening. Ensuring that our wishes and needs were met. She was absolutely wonderful and we can not thank her enough!
Our playlist which we were allowed to provide played seamlessly.
The bartenders knocked it out of the park and kept up with our guests!
The drinks at Velveteen are carefully crafted to perfection. Our guests were handed a glass of "Welcome Punch" upon entering. From there they were provided with exquisitely made cocktails and there was no empty glasses!
Our server was the sweetest and made sure I was taken care of and was a pro at recommending drinks to each individuals pallet!
The space was set up perfectly with an area for our food and wedding cake, a dance floor, and guest seating!
Velveteen kept the space clean all night and was very attentive to clear glasses and wipe any spills.
We can not say enough kind things about Velveteen and their services. In fact my husband and I stopped back in the day after our wedding to enjoy a cocktail!
We will absolutely return to Velveteen anytime we are in Vegas to reminisce about our perfect day.
To any couple looking for a reception space in the Las Vegas area I HIGHLY suggest you book Velveteen.
You will not find another space like this!!

Velveteen Rabbit was the absolute perfect place to host our micro Wedding Reception (and we only put it all together in 2 months!) I had been to the space 1x prior and knew it had the dreamiest decor/aesthetic, but when we inquired and were met with prompt and excellent customer service, we looked no further. Christina and her team at VR provided us with superb vendor recommendations, optimal add-on options to our rental package, and extensive support and responsiveness. We walked into the event knowing all our whims were taken care-of and could sit back to enjoy the reception. Our guests were thrilled at how tasty the cocktails were, how lovely the staff was, and how unique of a space VR is. If we could do it again we would book another hour or two in the space, and utilize even more of the add-ons.
If your guest list includes folks who love a good drink, a vibey atmosphere, and down-to-earth people who want to celebrate in one of the coolest streets in Downtown LV, Velveteen Rabbit is the perfect spot for your celebration.

We had the BEST experience hosting our wedding reception at the Velveteen Rabbit!
Communication was clear, fast and efficient when reserving the date, going over pricing, and making the reservation. We went over details over email, as well as, zoom to make sure everyone was on the same page.
Their vendor recommendations were PERFECTION! We used their appetizer and dinner recommendation. You could also use their DJ for entertainment.
The actual venue is ADORABLE! The vibes, setting, drinks, staff, decorations are all perfect. It was memorable and fun. I honestly cannot wait to be back in Las Vegas to visit and enjoy a drink!.

There are not enough stars to express how fabulous the owners, staff, ambience, and beverage program at Velveteen Rabbit are. From the start, Christina and Pamela were communicative, organized, flexible, and great creative parters. Day-of the staff at Velveteen Rabbit were the epitome of hospitality and warmth. The best decision we made for our wedding celebration was booking Velveteen Rabbit!

When I decided to elope in Vegas I KNEW I wanted my reception at Velveteen Rabbit after following them on Instagram for months. Christina and the Velveteen Rabbit team were wonderful to work with! We held a small cocktail reception after our elopement and it was absolutely magical. Our family and friends talked about how perfect the atmosphere and drinks were weeks after! Plus, the outdoor patio space was the perfect setting for the most stunning pictures. The communication was easy, and their recommendations for vendors were top notch. The staff were wonderful to work with and made the evening run smoothly. 10/10 magical experience, and would recommend to everyone!

We held a reception cocktail party after our Vegas chapel elopement and we had the best experience! Contacting the team was simple and their communications were always prompt and professional. They provided suggestions for food vendors which was so helpful since we were planning from far away and weren’t familiar with the area. Christina and her team scheduled a call with us a few weeks before our event to iron out details and answer any last minute questions.
The atmosphere was cozy and intimate—perfect for our reception with our friends and family! And the cocktails were amazing! I can’t recommend the Velveteen Rabbit enough. Thank you for such a special evening!

Velveteen Rabbit is the most picturesque establishment in Vegas (and that's saying a lot!). With loads of vintage charm, outstanding bar staff/mixologists and a stunning patio it is the ideal location to host an intimate wedding reception. Our guests loved every minute of their time at Velveteen Rabbit and we did too!
Christina and Pamela were wonderful to work with and extremely accommodating during very intense and unusual Vegas weather. We can't recommend Velveteen Rabbit enough and look forward to visiting for a cocktail the next time we're in Vegas!

We eloped and decided to have our post elopement celebration at the Velveteen Rabbit in Las Vegas. I picked this location based on a previous visit. The vibe was just what we were looking for. Casual but just upscale enough, with a super cool bar that makes delicious and unique cocktails. I contacted the Velveteen Rabbit through their website and they responded right away. The owners, Christina and Pamela gave us some great options for what we wanted to do. They created a couple of cocktails just for our event and we were able to give the cocktails names that represented us! Our guests were also able to order off of the full cocktail menu throughout the night. The outdoor space was really cute and perfectly sized for our small event. There was plenty of space for our 40 guests to mingle and dance to the DJ! We used the recommended DJ from Velveteen Rabbit and he was a hit with our guests. He mixed in our suggested music and made for a really fun night. We did a post-dinner celebration but new our friends would get the munchies later so Christina and Pamela suggested that we order pizzas from the pizza parlor next door for pick-up. We did this in advance and had grabbed our pizzas around 10pm, which was perfect! They had a table set up and our friends were able to munch away.
I definitely recommend this location for any type of wedding reception or post elopement party! I imagine a bigger celebration on the inside would be fantastic too as the decor is very cozy and another DJ was rocking inside throughout the night! Christina and Pamela were easy and fun to work with, everything went perfectly from start to finish. (P.S. This is a great place just to hang out whenever you are in Vegas and want to get away from the strip!)

The Velveteen Rabbit is absolutely amazing! It was truly the perfect fit for our wedding. Our ceremony was at The Little White Wedding Chapel and it was only 4 min drive over! Such a convenient location full of tons and tons of great photo opportunities. We did the full buy out because we were afraid it would be too windy, fortunately it was perfect weather so we got spend time it the pretty pink patio, took sooo many photos in the Photo Booth, and took some pretty awesome photos on all the vintage couches inside.
Christina and Pamela made the booking process so easy. They were very quick to respond and answer all the questions we had. They even recommended our carter, Good Pie Pizza, which was so amazing and just right next door! Special shout out to the staff working. They were so accommodating, friendly, and whipped up some amazing cocktails for us. Such a great space and team! We cannot wait to go back!

Easiest and best part of our day! Can be as whimsical or simple as you want- everyone was amazing to work with, they had great recommendations for whatever we didn’t know, were creative and thoughtful + supported us in having an amazing night! We just showed up and partied- no stress, no worries at all. Every guest seemed to love it too and the layout and dance floor were both perfect for our crowd. Would get married here again anytime!

Booking Velveteen Rabbit for our reception was the easiest decision for our Vegas Micro-Wedding. Christina and Pamela were so helpful in answering all our questions, so we felt super at ease with the decision throughout the whole planning process. We booked the patio with a DJ and had food brought in. The weather was not what I was expecting for Vegas, it was raining and cold! Without even having to ask or worry, Christina and Pamela allowed all of our vendors to set up inside and kept the whole place reserved just for us. This was the kindest gesture and sacrifice as I know it meant they had to close their main room to the public for us. We were so grateful! It also didn't hurt that the inside is absolutely gorgeous and moody with rich vintage details. All of our decor translated perfectly to the indoor space, and honestly I think it worked out even better. The cocktails were to die for and the bartenders were so sweet and absolutely masters at their craft. They made me the most delicious off menu drink based on a handful of questions on what flavors I like, and it was seriously the best drink I have ever had. (I have even tried to replicate it to no avail). The whole team was just killer and Velveteen was my favorite part of our wedding day. The only regret I have is not booking more time! We booked 3 hours but it would've been completely worth it to book 4 or 5. I tell all my friends that I wish we could do it again next year! Our time there will forever live in our hearts and we can't wait for the day when we are able to stop back by to reminisce and make new memories. Thank you to the team at Velveteen for being a part of our day. <3
