Las Vegas Weddings

 Top quality shows, partying and gaming are all popular reasons to vacation in Las Vegas, but more than 100,000 couples choose to come to Las Vegas every year to bet on each other with a marriage license from Clark County.  Las Vegas is one of the world's most popular destination wedding locations, and for good reasons.  The process here is quick and easy, there are countless wedding chapels serving up every conceivable kind of wedding ceremony, and Las Vegas is a premier vacation destination and an exhilarating honeymoon spot.


Getting hitched in Vegas can be accomplished in just about any style and manner, whether it be quick and simple or lavish and formal with a gazillion guests.  Of course, when it comes to weddings, Las Vegas is most famous for all those dozens of little stand-alone chapels where kitsch and the King (as in Elvis) rule.  A wedding at a landmark chapel such as the Little White Wedding Chapel can be managed in less than an hour, but it sometimes helps to have a reservation.  If you are in a real hurry you can take advantage of the drive-up window!  Drive-thru and outdoor weddings are quite popular at dedicated chapels.  
If you are really in a hurry.....
Entertainment often blends with ceremony at Las Vegas weddings, and the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel is a good example.  Theatrical weddings can be arranged with themes from Star Wars to James Bond and everything in between.  Channel the spirits and your cash in the right way and Elvis will be happy to make an appearance at your wedding.  


Some popular Las Vegas wedding chapels are:
     Chapel of the Flowers
     Cupid's Wedding Chapel
     Graceland Wedding Chapel
     Little White Wedding Chapel
     A Special Memory Wedding Chapel
     Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel
     Wee Kirk O' the Heather

  1. I like weddings in Las Vegas because they are cheap, easy and quick. The Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel is the chapel where Elvis can make an appearance at the wedding. A wedding can be managed here in less than an hour but it's important to have a reservation. I think Las Vegas is the perfect destination for weddings and honeymoons.
