JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort Offers Eco-Friendly Wedding Package


Brides and groom's who want to "go green" on their wedding day can pledge their love and protect the planet with Marriott's Spirit to Preserve Program at JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa. Along with smoke free guest rooms equipped with motion sensors to turn off lights and air-conditioning when not in use, recycled or sorted waste materials and the utilization of desert plant varieties at the resort to conserve water, the eco-chic retreat also offer the following earth-friendly features:

World-Conscious Weddings

An abundance of natural nuances for the nuptials, including maple garden chairs for guests gathered outdoors to witness an "I do" amid the botanical beauty of a garden or the serenity of a waterscape.

Eco-Friendly Post-Wedding Festivities

After exchanging vows, newlyweds can celebrate their marital status with family and friends indoors or outside on Chivari chairs made of bamboo, seated around tables draped in either luxury burlap or Botela linens created of recycled glass.
