Atlantic City Casino Wedding Options

by Tara Bard, Contributing Writer

This is an opportune time to plan a wedding at an Atlantic City casino. It is a known fact that many casinos are suffering (along with the rest of us) in a poor economy--and that means some wedding packages have become more affordable.

Aside from the now-affordable nature of casino weddings, they are practical, offering wedding, reception, dining and lodging venues all in one location. This is particularly convenient a couple hosting many out-of-town guests at their South Jersey wedding.

Casinos and inclusive venues also typically come with a coordinator to help establish and see to your needs in conjunction with what the venue can provide. If you're working with a wedding planner or have already selected outside vendors, they can possibly work together to provide a comprehensive experience.

Here are some primary Atlantic City casinos offering wedding packages and pricing.

• General information about Atlantic City
• The Borgata
• Caesars
  
• Bally's
  
  

As with any other venue or vendor selection, it's always acceptable to price shop. When you initially contact the casinos, ask about:

• Inclusive packages and costs
• Room rates and block room availability for guest
• A la carte wedding package pieces
• Whether it is acceptable to bring outside vendors and homemade items
• If a wedding coordinator and fee is included

You can easily create and track your comparisons using widely-available bridal planning books or by making your own sheet in Microsoft Excel. Best of luck!
