Outside vendors (florists, DJs, photographers) are commonly used; confirm vendor arrival windows, preferred vendor lists, insurance or permit requirements, and whether the hotel charges vendor access fees.
- On-site catering is available from the hotel’s restaurant and banquet teams; couples can choose plated, buffet or stations per event package.
- Request a room block for guests; South Point’s standard guest rooms include Premium Room and Premium 2 Queens Room (also Premium Room, Smoking).
