LAS VEGAS—JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa has created a new wedding package for Summerlin weddings that is considerate to the planet and that offers unique entertainment, menu and décor options for brides and grooms. The all-new Eco-Chic Wedding Package featured at JW Marriott’s Las Vegas wedding venues includes nuptials celebrated on the resort ground’s attractively designed gardens and waterscapes. Natural garden chairs made of maple complement the earthy tone of the ceremony. The celebration continues inside or out with unique décor items including floor length linens made from recycled glass or luxury burlap to adorn the tables, and chairs made from bamboo.

A variety of enhancements are available including soy candles, bamboo or rattan chargers, and organic or living floral designs. Menus and place cards are designed using recycled card stock and soy ink. Culinary selections include a variety of local, organic, and free trade ingredients including: organic tomato and mozzarella with basil and extra virgin olive oil on Bruschetta; organic Brie on Brioche Toast; and free range Chicken Sate with peanut sauce.

Dinner includes: cheese tasting plate with a selection of organic cheeses, fruits and nuts; California greens with organic tomatoes, goat cheese, and red wine vinaigrette; and organic seasonal sorbet. Dinner also includes a choice of roasted free range chicken breast with braised greens, wild mushrooms and roasted heirloom potatoes; or slow braised short ribs with creamy polenta and caramelized shallots; or ginger almond crusted salmon with seasonal vegetables, cauliflower puree and cabernet butter; and organic lemon tart with honey cream.

Organic Wines, Beer, Liquor

The environmentally-friendly theme continues with wine selections including organic cabernet sauvignon and sauvignon blanc and organic sparkling wine for the traditional toast. The bar can be stocked with organic beer and hard liquor.

Guests of the bride and groom can show their hip, eco-chic side using JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort’s Honeymoon Gift Registry. This eliminates shopping trips, shipping or endless hours of Internet surfing.

The Las Vegas resort’s involvement in Marriott’s Spirit to Preserve program provides smoke-free guestrooms equipped with motion sensors to automatically turn off lights and air-conditioning. All waste materials are recycled or sorted, eliminating contribution to landfills, and the lush resort grounds showcase many desert plant varieties to reduce water usage.
