When Yas’min and Chris began planning their chic Las Vegas wedding, they had a clear vision: to create a celebration that felt deeply personal, effortlessly cool, and true to their love story! After 15 years together, they chose Drai’s After Hours at The Cromwell on the Las Vegas Strip as their venue, a place that wasn’t just beautiful but also so meaningful to them! Their amazing love story began at this amazing nightclub, so it was a no-brainer for them to choose this place as their wedding venue. With their closest loved ones (and their adorable dog) by their side, this was a wedding like no other!
The Perfect Venue: Drai’s After Hours
Drai’s After Hours isn’t your typical wedding venue, and that’s exactly why Yas’min and Chris fell in love with it! Known for its edgy, high-energy vibes, the venue was transformed into a sultry yet romantic setting for their amazing big day. The decor featured earth tones, lush floral arrangements, and glowing candlelight that set the mood for an unforgettable evening.
But what made Drai’s truly special was the personal connection Yas’min and Chris had to the space. Early in their relationship, they spent countless nights at this nightclub, creating memories that would later form the foundation of their beautiful love story. Choosing Drai’s as their wedding venue wasn’t just about aesthetics, it was deeply sentimental. It allowed them to honor their history while adding a unique touch to their celebration.
Authentic Moments at Their Chic Las Vegas Wedding
Unlike many traditional weddings, Yas’min and Chris opted for a laid-back, go-with-the-flow approach to their day. They wanted to prioritize real, unscripted moments over strict timelines and posed portraits. This decision gave their wedding an authentic and relaxed vibe. The photos captured the essence of the day: the couple laughing with friends, dancing under neon lights, and sneaking sweet moments with their dog, who even walked down the aisle with Chris! Yas’min stunned everyone with two gorgeous dresses a dramatic black ceremony gown by Lucy Franco and a chic reception dress handcrafted by Casa de Calderon. Chris matched her energy with two custom suits from Stitch at The Cosmopolitan, perfectly complementing the sophisticated yet edgy vibe they envisioned.
