Cocktail Reception
A cocktail reception will follow the ceremony within the Mandalay Bay at the House of Blues Foundation Room Patio. The foundation room has its own elevator which I like. My coordinator said the deco is changed out often, so not sure exactly how it will look on that date but I'm ok with that.
We chose this location because it was inside MB and easy for guests to get to after the ceremony, because we could customize our menu based on guests and budget, and of course the view shown below. Four our date there is a $5000 minimum F & B requirement and then they add the tax and gratuity, we ended up increasing our budget ot make this work. I think it helps that we are getting married on a Monday, I think the minimum is usually higher.
There is not a lot of seating, mostly couches and high boy tables. We intend to create a dance area and think it will work perfectly for the casual atmosphere we are looking for. Maximum capacity for this space is 100. We invited a little over 100 but estimate it will end up being between 50 and 75 people. (I wouldn't recommend this!)

The View
The view from the patio, amazing! This is what sold us on this space, rather than inside the House of Blues in the Napoleon or New Orleans rooms.
Entertainment
DJ Godzilla! We were going to try to save money and bring an IPod with playlists but it turns out with the IPOD and mic hookup fees, DJ Godzilla is actually cheaper and it will be far less stressful to not have to worry about music.
