Michelle L. Sent on 02/12/2024An amazing experience start to finish
Do not hesitate to book with Cactus Collective. From beginning to end the experience was exceptional. Being from out of country it’s hard to know where to begin but they made it great from the start. From their constant and reliable communication to their focus on all the little details they did not disappoint. They put our minds at ease from the start that they had everything under control. It was an amazing experience and a day we will never forget. We used three of their recommended vendors as well who were equally as impressive. I really can’t say enough good things.Cactus Collective Weddings's reply:

Cactus Collective created the destination wedding of our dreams. The location was absolutely breathtaking. The Eldorado Canyon Mine and Nelson’s Ghost Town was the perfect backdrop for us and our small group of family and friends.
Allie and Penny guided us from beginning to end. Every detail seemed to be custom for us and our love of the outdoors and exploring.
Thank you Cactus Collective for making our dreams come true. -

Amazing!!!
Cactus collective is simply the best!! We wanted an intimate wedding with our immediate family and close friends but didn’t really know where to start and definitely didn’t want a typical Vegas wedding being locals. They took us through the process from start to finish helping and guiding us every step of the way. Everyone involved took the time to listen to our wants and needs ensuring every detail was perfect on our wedding day. It was affordable, simple, and elegant, literally everything we wanted. Thank you to Allie, Penny, Mel, Janessa, Elodie, and Carrie for making our dreams come true!! We are eternally grateful. -

Absolutely loved the value of booking this vendor team for my destination wedding. There is so much professionalism and talent within this group and we loved that we also got an album as part of our package to commemorate our special day. Definitely recommend if you want to take a backseat in planning your elopement or microwedding. -

Cactus Collective is by far the best, affordable, stress free wedding experience. My friend found them by chance on Instagram when wedding planning became overwhelming and ended up flying over to Vegas from Miami to have her wedding through this company. It was by far the best and most beautiful wedding I have attended (she had hers at Red Rock). When I got engaged during a pandemic, planning a wedding just didn't seem plausible until we happened upon their Pop-Up Elopement package. I can't recommend this company enough. Whether it's their elopement or regular wedding packages, you won't regret it. They provide everything and you won't beat the breathtaking photos and settings. -

I am so happy in my decision to use Cactus Collective Weddings! I wanted a wedding-ish feel (dress, bouquet, pictures) but I did not want the stress of organizing all of this. With Cactus Collective Weddings you make a few clicks on the computer to choose your venue, bouquet, decor, and any other additives. And done! So easy! And then they proceeded to execute all my wishes perfectly! If I had any questions or changes, they were very approachable and quick to respond. I appreciate their interest in learning about myself and my groom and our story, that meant a lot, and certainly made it a personable experience. They are such a nice, professional group that are great at what they do. They truly made my experience feel special. I recommend them without any reservations! Please please please choose Cactus Collective Weddings for your perfect wedding experience! -

I would highly recommend Cactus Collective if you are looking to elope! They have plenty of packages to fit each budget. I got way better quality of value for my money than I ever imagined. I was so happy with my experience! I had around 30 guests and went with the Saugaro Package at Red Rock Canyon-overlook. Taylor took our photos and they were absolutely stunning! The photos Cactus Collective showcases on the site is exactly what you get. She did a great job of capturing the ceremony, group, couple, and some candid photos. The whole day was so low-stress I didn't even cry! LOL. They took care of the park permit, pastor, bride and groom flowers, on-site coordinator, and 90 minutes of photography. I went with their preferred vendors for hair/makeup (Smoothbrides) and transportation (Elite Transportation) and holy cow, they blew me away! I've never felt so beautiful and the transportation was flawless. They even stopped at the Las Vegas sign so we could pop some champagne and get pictures. I would trust McKenzi and Cactus Collective a million times over! Thank you, Thank you!Cactus Collective Weddings's reply:
Hi Kylie! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and for choosing Cactus Collective! We are so happy for you and wish you two nothing but the best! Congratulations again! -

Lindsay Sent on 05/10/2021Excellent, communicative and professional team
We knew we wanted to try finding a package-type deal in Las Vegas for our small wedding. Sadly we had a terrible experience with a large Las Vegas resort's event planning department. Luckily, we found CCW online, and after reading a few reviews and browsing their website, we filled out the contact form and had a call scheduled within days. Ginger was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She promised their team would handle most of the big details for the ceremony (like officiant, florals, and site rental) with lots of add-on options should we need or want. She was not kidding! We opted for a few add ons like music, a site visit, extra photography, videography, and champagne toast. The team was communicative throughout the whole process and helped us incorporate a personal, DIY touch. The ceremony went smoothly and we couldn't have been happier! As a photography-centered planning company, we also loved how our wedding photos turned out (the number/variety of different shots, group shots, and quality). -

Absolutely amazing
Cactus Collective Weddings is the best wedding planning company EVER. From the moment we reached out to them to the day of our wedding, they made everything so easy and stress free. Due to COVID, we had to replan our wedding 3 different times and had to wait 2 years for our wedding day. We were so disappointed when we had to postpone our wedding the first time and then when we had to postpone it for the second time, we were at our wits end. We were ready to just go to the court and call it a day. Then I found CCW and they took all of our worries. Their services are not your typical quickie elopement ceremony, they go above and beyond to make everything you want on your wedding day to be special. Our wedding was small, intimate, and absolutely perfect all because of Cactus Collective Weddings. I would HIGHLY recommend Cactus Collective Weddings to anyone who wants a small, intimate wedding. -

Emily N. Sent on 10/25/2020Perfect stress-free elopement experience for pandemic brides
After choosing to postpone our big wedding reception until fall 2021, my wife and I decided we still wanted to get married and celebrate our love. We thought an elopement in Vegas would be the perfect balance of romantic and cheesy to lift our spirits during this chaotic year, but we knew we didn't want to do the Elvis chapel route. McKenzi and her team put together a beautiful, simple, fun ceremony for us at El Dorado Canyon and I seriously didn't have to do ANYTHING except answer a few emails! I am currently in grad school while also working and my wife works long hours, so we were truly so grateful at how easy and stress-free the experience was. All the vendors McKenzi connected us with (Presidential Limo for transport, Elizabeth Le Photography for photos, Wanda's Weddings for our officiant) were perfect, professional, kind and communicative. It let us just focus on having fun on our road trip, write our vows, and show up the day of in a beautiful limo with beautiful florals and a picturesque ceremony spot waiting for us. If you're looking for a hands-off, no-fuss, laid-back elopement experience, you will definitely get it with Cactus Collective! -

My husband and I wanted a simple, yet classic elopement but we didn’t want the stress of trying to plan every little detail. McKenzie and her team promptly responded to my emails and immediately set to work to make our day absolute perfection. They gathered information about our likes and dislikes, asked questions about us as a couple, and tailored the ceremony to our needs. They recommended the BEST vendors to help fill in the gaps. From beginning to end, they made our wedding complete perfection and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Hire them! You won’t regret it!!! -

Hiring McKenzie and team was the best decision we could have made. Our special day was perfect. Their communication was second to none - and 100% of the way in perfect contact. The officiant and flowers were so much more than we could have ever asked for. The photography brings tears to my eyes. I recommend them to any and everyone looking for an easy and classy off the strip wedding. -

In the midst of this pandemic my husband and I, like so many others, realized what is truly important and wanted to take that next step in our relationship regardless of the current state of the world. We wanted it to be intimate, classy and adventurous all at the same time and Cactus Collective went above and beyond to deliver! McKenzie was super easy to get in touch with, her team kept me updated on the planning frequently, and the end result was nothing short of amazing. What could have been extremely stressful, considering we had NEVER been to Vegas before, was absolutely STRESS-FREE. The location and pictures were amazing. If I had to do it all over again with cactus collective, I 100% would! Will definitely be recommending McKenzie and her team :) -

We loved the experience from start to finish. Planning a wedding in 2.5 weeks was a breeze with Cactus Collective! Mckenzi was so responsive in jumping up to help us out with our tight time frame. We felt zero stress. After planning and postponing our original 200 person wedding two times (thanks COVID-19!), we wanted no hassle and no hassle is what we got! We got just the right amount of emails with just the right amount of information as to be informed but not overwhelmed. The photographer, Jessie, called me the morning of the wedding and concisely gave me the info I needed and helped me get excited for the day. And she took AMAZING photos which we will cherish forever. The onsite host Vanessa was personable and kind and made us feel so special. Showing up to your wedding never having met any of the vendors that will be there may sound risky to most couples but Cactus Collective has curated such a good group of trusted individuals so the couple can just show up and be whisked away to the wedding of their dreams! -

Cactus Collective helped me plan a destination wedding at the scenic Valley of Fire outside of Las Vegas. The owner texted me back the same evening I contacted her and was willing to accommodate every request. As a former event planner myself, I appreciate the thorough communication and attention to detail. We had a group of about 30 on the big day, and everyone commented that the ceremony, officiant, food, decor and overall experience was amazing. They have solid relationships with several vendors, so if you're looking to add extra touches, just ask! Thank you Cactus Collective and your incredible team for a day I'll always remember!!!Cactus Collective Weddings's reply:

McKenzi did an amazing job with our photos. We chose Cactus Collective Weddings over other vendors in Red Rock Canyon because of the difference in quality of photos we saw online and she truly exceeded our expectations. I also can not say enough about Angie our officiant. She was calming, kind, and used our story to make the ceremony personal to us. I loved her and she truly made the ceremony special and not rushed! The backdrop, the flowers, the weather it was all perfect. We wanted something low key but unique and worthy of the occasion. Cactus Collective was the best choice we could have made.Cactus Collective Weddings's reply:
Hi Carline! Thank you for choosing Cactus Collective! You two were a dream to work with. We are so happy for you! Congratulations again! -

Carolynne K. Sent on 11/26/2019My Dream Desert Wedding Came to Life!
My husband and I took a trip through the American desert last year and spent a long weekend in Las Vegas. What FUN we had, we knew it was our dream to come back and get married there. We definitely wanted something different than the little chapel style wedding, something closer to the earth & the wonderful natural side of LV, so we were thrilled to find Cactus Collective & McKenzi who seemed to create exactly what we wanted - an intimate gorgeous ceremony surrounded by natural beauty. We chose the Red Spring boardwalk for a mid-day wedding. We really wanted sunset, but unfortunately there was another couple who reserved that time. But believe me, this place is gorgeous any time of day and we were so happy with our decision.
Through the process, McKenzi & the CC team were unbelievable. Back and forth via email (across the country, my husband and I live in Philly) everything was sight unseen, so it was wonderful to have people on-location with suggestions for additonal vendors, etc.
CC organized everything for our group of 40, i.e. benches for our older guests, live music (Josh Crooks is so talented) and of course our wonderful custom charcuterie spread. Our officiant Angie was incredible - her words about love, marriage and life itself were so inspiring and warm. Our entire group was enchanted by her ceremony. Our coordinator Allie was so helpful and kind! Everything was on a schedule, but it felt so organic and never once did we feel rushed.
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Carrie our photographer. She brought us up deeper into the desert and with her artistic eye, could tell exactly which rock us standing on would create an amazing photo, with the sun shining behind us and the perfect surrounding. We loved her so much an will cherish our photos forever!
McKenzi really makes sure that every element of your “Modern Vegas Elopement” is both everything you dreamed of & simply flawless. We loved working with this company to create our dream desert wedding & we cannot recommend Cactus Collective enough!Cactus Collective Weddings's reply:
I'm crying! Seriously. Thank you so very much for the amazing acknowledgment. The team works very hard to create an experience for you and we are thrilled you enjoyed the day! Congrats to you two! -

WOW!
I cannot began to thank you and your staff enough! Other than the wind, which who has any say in that, everything was PERFECT. And the cake and champagne that you graciously shared, knocked it out of the park!! Our families (and US) were blown away. Steven and I knew you & your staff were special and that we were in great hands. But wow, we were amazed. My sister and brother both came up to me afterwards and expressed that from the start of all this, they each had fears that it would not go well. Stated that working with a company you do not out and throw in them being out of state, there are a million of things that could go wrong. I am happy to report that they were speechless at how seamlessly your team handled things and how your personal touches made it the epic event it was.
I truly cannot express how great our day was and that is the direct result of your team. Oh and my flowers.....SPOT ON! So great in fact, we kept them with us to bring home to Michigan. Which required a 4 day road trip, TSA security check and a plane ride. And it was worth it to keep that memory.
Jessie was fantastic. Her energy, thoughtfulness and professionalism never wavered. She was a rock-star. Took the time to listen to our concerns and work with us to get the perfect picture. Steven and I were speechless that she personally called us the morning of to talk about the pictures. Which thankfully we have a lot of!!
Angie, where do I start? I have been in way too many wedding to count yet I have never interacted with an officiant like Angie. I am honored to say that she was mine. There are no words to she how perfect she was. Her love and passion for what she does shines through her soul and cannot imagine the day without her. Her words were beautiful, moving and resonated with everyone there. Everyone in attendance felt their power and were each moved to tears at some point. She is an amazing asset to your team and please keep her so that other couples get to start marriage like we did.
Please thank both Jessie and Angie again for us and our entire family. McKenzi, you have done an amazing job and thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting our wedding together and making it everything we could have asked for and than giving us more! From the start, we stopped telling people we got married in Las Vegas because we knew it was NOTHING like what they were thinking, drive thru with Elvis. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But what you gave us was so beyond that. The whole thing was so personal and so "us", no one believes it all happened without us ever talking on the phone or meeting in person. One of the things that I loved the most was the group text you sent me with Jessie and Angie the morning of. While that was probably a small detail to you, it blew me away. To have you take the time to reach out and make sure everyone was set but also have each-others contact was so impressive and calming. You are top notch!Cactus Collective Weddings's reply:
Kate!! Thank you SO much for your kind words. Our team works hard so your amazing acknowledgment means so much to us!
We were thrilled to be involved in your big day. Congratulations to you two! -

Jessica Sent on 03/28/2019Absolute dream Vegas desert elopement.
I reached out to Cactus Collective with a seemingly impossible wedding turnaround time (I believe 3 weeks!), and was surprised to get a prompt email back from company founder and lead photographer, McKenzi. She assured me that my date would be doable, and at that point began to take on really all stages of planning - from helping me select a venue based on attendance and availability (and booking said venue), to coordinating with vendors of florals and sweets, even recommending a makeup and hair vendor, who I ended up going with. I went into the wedding planning process honest with McKenzi, telling her I didn't want to be overly involved in decision making - I trusted her vision completely, and boy did she and her team deliver =) On top of wedding planning, McKenzi is an incredibly talented photographer who was able to capture the most gorgeous photos on site (and knew the best locations offsite for perfect desert photos). Everything was truly perfect - my elopement ceremony was the best I could have imagined, and most importantly, I could relax and enjoy the day with my friends, family, and husband, knowing so many details were taken care of by McKenzi and CC. 10/10 would recommend to anybody considering a unique desert ceremony or elopement - you can't get better than this.Cactus Collective Weddings's reply:
Thank you, Jessica. This is so heartwarming. I am so happy we were able to connect and I will remember your day for a lifetime. -

Above and beyond all expectations!!!!
As extremely busy people, my husband and I were looking for someone to help us plan a quick and easy elopement. Well, we received so much more than that! McKenzi was an amazing coordinator who knew exactly what to ask and prepare for our perfect day. She handled everything so seamlessly and I had nothing to worry about. The area at Red Rock and my florals were outstanding. Our photographer, Jessie, was so talented with the camera and we had such a relaxing experience with her. Our ceremony was also so beautiful. Angie is an amazing officiant and makes you feel like she has known you for years. You can tell everyone in this company truly loves their job. Lastly, photos were very important to me as we did not invite anyone to our wedding. The pictures were more than I could of asked for. Everyone has said the photos look like they are out of a magazine and wish their wedding pictures would have been even remotely as good! Thank you so much Cactus Collective for everything! We are so happy with our decision to elope and spend time with you!Cactus Collective Weddings's reply:
Thank you SO much Alexis! We are so happy you chose us to elope with! Wishing you two nothing but the best! -
